Artist Statement
My artistic vision is rooted in transforming the absurdity of daily existence into a transparent mirror, reflecting the invisible social issues hidden beneath the fantasy of technology. Drawing on my interdisciplinary background in visual art, performance, and technology, my creative process establishes an intensive connection between the body and space. This practice is keenly focused on how corporeal gestures and the resulting shifts in eyesight can disrupt and shift public awareness.
I investigate what a body’s physical "printing" on technology truly entails, and this critical inquiry culminates in the conceptual framework of “Body of Technology”. I actively challenge the common perception of technology as cold, inanimate, and intangible by deliberately foregrounding its sensory and material experience. I invite both participants and viewers to consider technology through its often-neglected, bodily qualities: vibration, materiality, temperature, sound, taste, and smell. By prompting this imagination of the "Body of Technology," which can be soft, emotional, and alive, I subvert existing narratives and call for a re-embodiment of the contemporary digital era.
The execution of this vision takes place through dedicated interdisciplinary practices and collaborative participatory theater, operating on the belief that 'Daily life is a theater, and the theater is life.’ Participation is employed as a compelling method to unfold static social structures and reimagine the existing world. Through these immersive actions, my practice ultimately seeks to reveal the complex and essential relationships between body, identification, technology, nature, and life.
