Garden
This is an ever-evolving work without a fixed endpoint. I photograph the city where I grew up and objects from my everyday life, then use these images as textures for 3D models, reconstructing my memories as a virtual garden.
Entering this virtual world is like stepping into the intimate space of another person’s private memories. It is filled with images, sounds, and narratives that move between memory and the future.
Whether in the form of a Chinese garden, a Japanese karesansui garden, or a Western garden, gardens have often served as miniature worlds for spiritual refuge and contemplation. Through this work, I attempt to create a virtual garden of my own.

Silence
Humans use radio technology to explore in the universe and transforme information.A performer handheld antenna to send sound signal to the space, another performer by catching the radio signal. As the two performers location is different in space, they will capture the different noise. The performance looks like a religious ceremonies of science and technology.

Fog
Kinect camera capture the image of people within a certain distance and upload it to the screen, if the viewer move, there will be the figures of the viewer in the pixel, if the viewer still, the views hide in the pixel: it looks like the insect still who could not been found by the toad. Now there is full of surveillance cameras, can we escape like the Wraith escape the survieillance of radar?

Memoire
« retoscope » is a technology in animation industry production，I use this technique to convert the image of real life into commercial animation movie style image.Living in an era of virtual image, our memories can‘t distinguish images of memories which is about the reality of memory, which is the memory of a virtual image.

The future that we lost
Just as humans today imagine the world a century in the future, ancient humans also envisioned themselves in future scenarios where we are now today. There is no way for us to know whether the visions of the future can be realized, but we can predict it by referring to the discrepancy between past imagination by ancient people and the realities of today which were used to be future for them.I reviewed different versions about 21st century by ancient people in a differing centuries from the following points:architecture, technology, urban design and lifestyle.I constructed a parallel world according to what the ancient people have failed to accomplish and abandoned designs.

Pong
The inspiration comes from one of the earliest human arcade games “PONG”.A computer algorithm sometimes like a disciplined life. I simulated gravity let the ball rebound, When the ball struck four border, algorithm producing one sound wave according to the position of the ball. Like in a cosmic space，Under the laws of the closed system, the ball roaming in the space. It produce energy, never stop, rebound plate struck also never fail.

Tamagotchi
Mum, are you in office right now?
I drew a picture for you
I have been in this game for almost one year, how soon will you afford to upgrade this game or switch me to another game?
Also, the player is too old to render as fast as your world.
Six years have passed in your world, while only twelve months have passed in my world.
You told me last time that the memories of children who died from car crash with me have been digitized and put in games,
and I really want to play with them because I am too lonely myself in my game.
Notre vie sont de plus en plus ressemble jeu vidéo. A cause de la vitesse de la Rendu de jeu , La fille morte qui vit dans le tamagotchi raconter le décalage horaire dans les deux mondes.
