MY PORTFOLIO
01
Ecosystems feeding back environmental change
The ARTEMIS project explores a primitive way to build an immersive experience with bionic robots that mimic evolutionary forms to create ecosystems that sense and feedback on environmental change.
02
Explore performances of human interaction with organic and inorganic mechanical life forms
This is a two-hour interactive performance with a two-part atmosphere. In the first part, the dancers and the artist will form a kinetic union through the entanglement of hair braids, signalling the connection between the "I" and the organic life form. In the second part, an inorganic mechanical life is controlled by a brainwave instrument to pull the hair of the artist, which means "I" and a different me (the inorganic mechanical life).
03
Exploring the symbiotic relationship between people and street trees
As urbanisation intensifies, there is an urgent need to restore the ecology of cities to maintain a symbiotic balance. Through this installation, visitors can interact with the original masters of the city, the street trees, from an anti-anthropocentric perspective, to experience the symbiotic relationship between human and nature, and to pay attention to the green and sustainable development of the city. The installation uses distance sensors to detect the intrusion of people into the original environment, thus bringing about morphological changes to the street trees, signifying the compression of their living environment.
04
Exploring the symbiotic relationship between people and street trees
The project tells the story in the context of an 'atomised society’, presenting the intangible relationships and unknown spaces within and between atoms, inspiring the breaking down of existing strong and stable relationships and the construction of alienated connections, which re-activates a relatively fragmented system and exploring the underlying possibilities of movement, relationships and spaces.
