P1599802.png

Ice Blueprint (2024–ongoing)

Ice Blueprint is a long-term interdisciplinary research and artistic practice project that began in 2024. Taking ice as its central motif, the project unfolds through international residencies, research, experimentation, and artistic production. The project manifests through a range of outputs, including multi-material sculptures and installations, essay-films, publications, as well as both online and physical exhibitions.

It seeks to challenge and reimagine the visual narratives constructed between natural materials—specifically ice—and artificial landscapes, establishing a sustainable and enduring trajectory of research and practice. 

The Idol Reveal (2021-ongoing)

The Idol Reveal (2021-ongoing) is an ambitious, interdisciplinary project that includes research essays, film, moving-image, VR video games, music, performance, sculpture, and multimedia installation. From the perspective of symbolism, this project has carried out a profound reveal and questioning of the subject questions behind Idol worship in contemporary network culture. The intention is to explore a methodology based on artistic practice, to develop Idol worship within the spiritual boundary of the subject's fantasy into a structural narrative that encompasses contemporary mythology, spirituality, survival, and ideals.


 

Brain Island (2019-ongoing)

 

The Brain Island project uses essay films, experimental films, publications and performances in an attempt to understand and explain the relationship between people (groups) and society from a variety of philosophical perspectives. Based on idea of heterotopia, a virtual third space is created to explore/insinuate the reality of the social condition. It also covers sociology (ideology, political propaganda), semiotics (symbolism). Religious (Buddhism - divine knowledge), philosophical (heterotopia, utopia, dystopia) perspectives and theories.
