Video and Sound installation
TV Panels, white box, a piece of lawn, plaster ear, sound speakers
“Parallel Worlds” is a multi-media installation, and it creates a mysterious scene by using various sculptural elements and digital components. The audience is able to watch videos on each side, which depict various characters in shadow-like silhouettes. They tell in continuing-loop mode with a seemingly romantic story without a clear ending on the one side and a working scene with noisy construction sounds on the other side.
Meanwhile, the viewers hear a female “help” voice constantly from the human ear, which is lying on a piece of lawn. It remains unknown, where this ear comes from and why it asks for help. The general feeling is somewhat similar to when strange things happen in our daily lives, and there’s seems sometimes without starting point and there’s also no ending.
In general, the artwork elaborates about the human being anxious and at a loss in modern society. The blurred silhouettes symbolize unclear personal identities, which invite viewers to slip into roles and identify with them. This concept is also to a part derived from the thinking and the understanding of globalization of the contemporary culture and from the personal experiences of the artist.

About the project “ Breaking Vases” as a large scale interactive installation
“ Breaking vases” is a project about the disappearing traditional culture in the digital age. It represents interactive six large scale screens with the images controlled by the viewers. The space is full of vases floating in the air, however, whenever the viewers enter the room and get closer to the screen, it changes the balance of the vases.

Shark Bidding in Auction ----Game designed by Processing
This interactive game is made by Processing, and it is inspired by the Damien Hirst Shark-in-formaldehyde which was sold in London for 9.6 million pounds ($17.2 million) with fees in Sotheby auction house.
So this game is based on the process of the price bidding in the auction, viewer can experience the funny process of eating all the "old" contemporary artworks like Andy Warhols works etc and make the shark grow bigger and bigger. finally the shark will move alone in the lonely dessert. It is a game but it is also an irony to our high speed developing post-contemporary art world and culture.
