Roaming-R delves into the limits of human visual perception, particularly in recognising optical colours. It explores the boundaries of what the human eye, aided by technology, can identify, suggesting that the purest form of colour might reside at the intersection between the body and technology. This echoes the philosophical tension between what is perceivable by the senses and what can be quantified by machines—a theme that parallel my previous explorations in combining ancient knowledge with modern methods, as in The Vanishing Sunlight.

The artwork reflects on the proliferation of language models and the resulting cognitive anxiety caused by the emergence of multiple “correct” pieces of information. This unsettling shift in collective understanding is represented by an intuitive dialogue with AI, asking it repeatedly to generate the “purest” red light. Each iteration, by questioning the AI’s output, produces yet another version of red. The process embodies a dynamic, uncontrollable generation of varied shades, suggesting an excess of possibilities. The randomly juxtaposed reds create contrasts, some appearing as deep brown, making it difficult for the viewer to discern which segment is the most pure.




"The Vanishing Sunlight" is a suspended circular three-dimensional artwork. The piece references and collects astronomical images of solar eclipses, which are then processed through computer algorithms to generate a new eclipse image that has never been seen before yet feels familiar. By combining visually directional materials, the work allows the halo to appear and disappear at different distances and angles, attempting to connect the viewer's bodily intuition in the exhibition space with the ancient human quest to explore the unknown. At the same time, it juxtaposes the ambiguity and detachment between the methods of image generation in contemporary technology and the notion of reality.
