Origin draws from the artist's daily experience with modelling software, where defining an origin point is essential for determining coordinates and directions within 3D virtual space. However, this origin point can be freely moved, even to a distant, obscure corner. As the boundary between virtual and real spaces becomes increasingly blurred, the concept of an origin in the physical world frequently shifts, floating between virtual environments and reality.
With a playful and intuitive approach, the artist creates a movable spatial installation that allows viewers to interact with it. As the piece is pushed or moved by others, colours continuously appear and disappear from different angles, offering a dynamic, ever-changing visual experience. The installation humorously reflects the instability and fluidity of origin points in both the virtual and physical worlds, inviting the audience to engage in a shared but constantly shifting perception of space and colour.

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.

Last summer solstice, a work I was contemplating reminded me of the ancient Greek genius Eratosthenes (276 BC–194 BC).
It is said that in his hometown of Alexandria in Egypt, he heard about a city called Syene, 785 kilometres to the south, where, during the summer solstice each year, the sunlight would shine directly down to the bottom of a well, with no shadows cast on the walls. This rare alignment of the Earth and the Sun occurs only once a year, creating a unique phenomenon.
At the same time, in Alexandria, a small shadow was cast by an obelisk in the city's square. Eratosthenes used the relative positions of these two cities, the Earth, and the movement of the Sun and stars to calculate the circumference of the Earth. Stories like these about ancient astronomy and the measurement of nature often evoke a sense of wonder at the ingenuity and beauty of exploring the unknown with just the human body and imagination. How many days did it take, gazing at the well, to understand the arrival of the summer solstice?
