Project 2:When the Mutation Goes On当变异进行时
Introduction:
“When the Mutation Goes On” is an installation artwork with the theme of environmental protection. The background of the installation is set in an elevated doomsday era, reversing the identities of humans and plants and re-examining the world from the perspective of plants. When plants mutate, they have eyes and fangs like humans and invade the homes humans depend on for survival. In these last days, mankind needs an “ark” to save them. In reality, humans’ destruction of the environment has forced plants to find their salvation. This installation reflects and restores the relationship between human beings and nature. Through the perspective of plants, the installation evokes the viewer’s deep concern and respect for the natural world. Plants are no longer silent beings; their lives and emotions are equally worthy of attention. When human actions lead to the collapse of the environment, mutated plants fight back, reminding us to respect the rights and dignity of all life forms. The installation aims to remind the audience that environmental protection is not only for human survival but also for harmonious coexistence with nature.
Project 3:Scramble文字异化
Introduction:
In the digital age, the meanings of words are rapidly becoming distorted. Terms that were once neutral or positive are increasingly being assigned new meanings within online environments—often ironic, exaggerated, twisted, or even extreme. This transformation not only challenges the original integrity of language but also subtly shapes social emotions and interpersonal relationships.
This project uses interactive video and glitch art as its primary mediums to explore the conflict between traditional and contemporary interpretations of language. By presenting the contrast between original meanings and their altered online usages, the project creates an immersive exhibition experience that allows audiences to directly confront and reflect on the psychological impact of semantic distortion in the digital era.
Project 4:Ease Chime解忧铃
Introduction:
In today’s digital environment, online communication often creates uncertainty and anxiety. Our project transforms these emotions into an interactive experience through a website and blind box system that encourages emotional reflection. Based on this concept, we created “Ease Chime,” an acrylic wind chime blind box brand that turns anxiety into a collectible and therapeutic experience.
