Facing a formality world,
formality is a part of the opinion.

An attempt to rethink gallery, while 3D and VR technology is employed. New possibility emerges when the physical limitation such as space, construction, texture, and scale is lifted. It becomes a garden, reflective of my - symptoms.
亲爱的我可能是个憨批
把语言当成儿戏
折成一片片飞刀
就要用力飙出去
但是挥手太猛
插在了脊椎里
搞得硬梆梆
弯都弯不下去
##<腰上的毛病>
(word to word translate:
Dear me might be an idiot,
playing language like a child,
fold them into knives to throw,
throw with force,
but I swing too hard,
they stuck in my spine,
I can hardly bend.)
Due to the nature of the material, it looks like a computer 3D object but physical, where depth and unusual textures are embedded in a glass-like bed. On the surface, it's smooth and flat, contradicting the visual perception, creating disbelieves.
I collapse like a deformed pork brain while hooked to a mother board. Information, stimulation, biological dissonance.
Luckily, at least, deform no more, thanks to molecular science - plastic.

In the stereotypical red, green, and gold “traditional Chinese” scene is a China-made cheaply shoe in the middle with a mouth opened to cables connected to things - iPhone, “stay woke”, Anime, 3D glasses, punk rock, even Jesus.
Tracing back to the events of WWII and a series of revolutions, the cultural lineage of the long lasted Chinese has been largely lost, creating a void. On the road to rebuilding its substance, the void soaks everything around it.
The esteem of “the Center Nation” is faintly remembered in the scribble of Chinese but little can be done other than desperately soaking and cross-breeding, in the process creating a massive post-modern culture - vague, dazzling, a manufactured storm roaring and roaming with implacable force and immature complexity.
你的宾馆对我打了烊
十二点前要退房
带走塑料牙刷
环保不要悲伤

(Ethos: After leaving a hotel, I bring the plastic toothbrush with me to ease the sorrow of leaving with environmental awareness. Yep?)
