Curatorial practice project for online platform : music forest and the inner peace of sloth

Abstract

'Music Forest and the Inner Peace of Sloth' is a digital curatorial practice platform designed to offer a mental sanctuary in the information age, catering to all visitors, especially visual art, nature, and music lovers. The artworks showcased in this text are influenced by the philosophical foundations of slow art and the Fluxus movement, a 1960s artistic movement promoting living art and anti-art.

The project promotes inner peace through nature-inspired artworks, offering a unique online space that harmonizes music, forest, and sloth spirit, encouraging users to explore their inner selves and experience balance and slowness. Music Forest invites users to embark on an interactive journey into the heart of spirit, transcending the limitations of physical exhibitions through digital devices. This online platform is tailored for individuals seeking a digital oasis, it is ideal for those yearning to unwind, disconnect, and immerse themselves in a tranquil environment of soothing melodies and the unhurried spirit of slothful serenity.

The website, created with Wix, offers a mixed-media trip that combines sound effects, visual arts, and music with a sloth theme. River and Rock, a collection of five pieces by well-known artists like Andy Goldsworthy, Chi Po-lin, Ton Mak, Klaus Littmann, and Vincent van Gogh, is available on the platform. Audio options include Canon-based multilingual songs and comforting lyric-free tracks. John Cage's "4'33" serves as the platform's closing theme. An interactive program with carefully curated playlists on Spotify and YouTube promotes a digital detox and pays homage to the timeless artistic presence of music.
