Explore the Plan

"Inside.Outside.ver2" constructs a boundary of the self through a door crack, contrasting it with people's projection of their inner state. It is also an unconscious method required between the virtual and the real. Continuing from "Inside.Outside," it expands the two boundaries to encompass the entire space, where the multifaceted nature of desire is scattered from the framework constructed by the subject. The division of privacy and openness within social structures is constantly refreshed through non-essential explorations. The worn-out individual forces themselves to connect with the new era, translating diverse inner feelings through visual layering.

"Inside.Outside.ver2" constructs the emotions behind the door through multi-channel video flow. The fictional persona exists as an individual in a space that blends the virtual and the real. From a contemporary perspective, it retells the multifaceted nature of interpersonal relationships—both familiar and unfamiliar—where estranged emotions are projected onto products of both the old and new eras, transforming into a brand-new individual, living within the environment of the new era.

I'm Currently at the Institute of Animation Art and Image Aesthetics at National Tainan University, majoring in the application of interactive media in image creation. The main aim is to combine composite media with images as the main elements to retell the details of modern people's lives through humor and humor.

The interesting way of creation is to observe the changes in the viewer's thoughts. In his personal works, he often explores inner and personal views, breaks through the interactive process, and tries to let viewers examine the meaning of the work from their original cognition.
