Since we more or less live in the immaterial world (digital and information age) now, we are further from the natural and objective world. How is our relationship to the world of things and information challenged? I am exploring the relationship between objects, images, text, and space (物体 / 图像 / 语言/ 空间).

By meaninglessly dematerializing everyday objects and rematerializing daily texts and images, the everyday natural objects are being modeled and translated into a superficial skin; the text and images are no longer readable. “De-material, Re-material” aims to address the relations between the material world of objects and the immaterial world of information. It also questions the constructed reality that the interfaces, which are images, texts, information, represent.
