I’m a digital media artist whose research interests include human-computer interaction, internet culture, and modern mythology. Inspired by the metaphysic relationship to my family's memory, my works investigate the transformation of the cultural symbols across dimensions from physical space, virtual space to psychological matters. The massive demand on the computer to create art motivates me to import the idea of animism into human-computer interactions and concentrate on altering the human-centered mentality in order to explore the more complicated systemic problems regarding digital life. Theories from Joseph Campbell, Donna Haraway, and Rosa Menkman lead me to stare thoughtfully into the core value of being a digital media artist “advocate humanity in technology.”
