‘My expression of rebellion against the world‘
I have used nature-based expressions in my past personal experiences and practices, and I am currently dealing with themes such as the two-way cycle of communion and connection between humans and nature, based on the re-creation of real life applied to the sustainability of virtual space. This is mixed with rebellious expressions that emerge from my personal experiences and I find myself constantly returning to aspects of reality that are often hidden or avoided. In my rich artistic practice, painting, costume and ceramics are connected to the computational. The main areas of computationality I am currently researching include machine learning and experimental programming visuals and experimental music.
In my past experiences I have moved from designer to professional artist, from human based to nature based. In between this has resulted in research into the post-human era, thinking about the natural environment, and empathy for the community of life.
My current research project is the development of the Maker's Remains, in which I take real-life waste and derive it through taxonomy and machine learning into landscape drawings and virtual fabrics. In my next research, the development will continue to be based on rubbish in nature. In this project, I propose a personal proposition: MIC (material, inspiration, circle). Currently I focus on plants and herbal dyes, and in my next research I will derive virtual materials/fabrics based on rubbish, which can be applied to virtual space or real life to achieve commonality and connection. And combined with personal experiences, expressed through personal experimental creative means.
Art remains a strong contender for how we share ideas and thoughts. Throughout history, art has survived the waves of information and remains an unpredictable source of imagination. It has the potential to change one's mind, to open up new ideas and to borrow through the accepted ideas that are common in our education system. I have no illusions that art will create a revolution in the traditional sense, but have witnessed the dramatic changes it can produce in individuals. It only takes one new idea to change a person's perspective. The world may not change instantly because of art, but it slowly and tediously spills over into the active part of our brains' lives to tell the story. I don't expect to confront the viewer with a warning or informative attitude, I want my work to be like a ball of cotton, comfortably soft and slowly speaking to you.
我在过去的个人经历和实践中使用了基于自然的表达，我目前涉及的主题包括人和自然的双向循环共通与连接，基于现实生活的再创造应用于虚拟空间的可持续发展。这其中参杂我由个人经历而出现的叛逆性表达，我发现自己不断回到那些经常隐藏或逃避的现实方面。在我丰富的艺术创作手法中，绘画、服饰、陶艺等与计算性的连接。目前我研究的计算性领域主要包括机器学习和实验性编程视觉和实验音乐。
在我过去的经历中，我从设计师到职业艺术家，从基于人类到基于自然。这中间产生了对后人类时代的研究，对自然环境的思考，和生命共同体的同理心。
我目前研究的项目是造物者遗像的发展，在造物者遗像中，我将现实生活中的垃圾通过分类法和机器学习衍生成为山水图和虚拟面料。在我接下来的研究中，将继续基于自然中的垃圾发展。在造物者遗像这个项目中，我提出个人主张：MIC(material、inspiration、circle）目前我关注的是植物、中药染料，我将在接下来的研究中，衍生基于垃圾而形成的虚拟材质/面料，应用与虚拟空间或现实生活，实现共通与连接。并结合个人经历，通过个人实验性创作手段表达。
艺术仍然是我们如何分享思想和想法的有力竞争者。纵观历史，艺术在信息浪潮中幸存下来，并且仍然是不可预测的想象力来源。它有可能改变一个人的想法，打开新的想法，并通过我们教育系统中常见的所接受的想法来借用。我没有幻想艺术会创造传统意义上的革命，但已经目睹了它可以在个人身上产生的巨大变化。只需一个新想法就可以改变一个人的看法。 世界可能不会因为艺术而瞬间改变，但它缓慢而乏味地蔓延到我们大脑生活中的活跃部分来讲述这个故事。我并不期望以警示或告知的态度面对观众，我希望我的作品像一团棉花，舒适柔软且缓缓向你倾诉。
