Bloodline is a sculpture series that artist Hsin-Chien Huang started to create from 2019. The principle of it is to scan two direct blood relatives' faces and record their forms and colors. Then using algorithms, calculations were run to find matching colors between these two 3D scanned faces. Then connects these two points with a line that forms the structure of this sculpture. As artist's train of thought brought forth new shapes, it grew into what he had been searching for.
It was important to delve into the use of novel technologies in our digital age to explore, record, or meditate on the things that we cherish, such as our family bloodline. The memories that we most want to preserve, things we have inherited from our bloodline, both our strengths and our weaknesses -our bodies' forms and genetic defects. They are all passed down through our lineage, passed down from one generation to the next.
Sometimes it clings to us like thousands of intertwined strands of silk. We can't separate or untangle them. It just becomes interwoven into a structure that cannot be broken.
