Download Life

2018-present

Download Life is an ongoing project that is developed loosely, including a series of works in forms of video, interactive program and digital prints. It revolves around large-scale model sharing repositories that expanding with the development of cloud storage and infrastructure, and the manifestation of “building” or “making” as a method of human intervention to the world in everyday life. In this series of independent and interconnected works, the model repositories become containers for individual or collective memories, and the models produced and shared by users shift into fictional scenes of everyday life and heterochromatic stories, depicting a time when people have mutated into objects. At the same time, at different ports of the world, those digital creations are carrying knowledge, styles, and ideas about modern life, which are rapidly spreading through the Internet with under-rendered images and superficial structures, and finally re-pouring to reality.

 

下载生活

2018-进行中

《下载生活》是一个持续进行的松散项目,围绕随云上储存及基础设施发展不断扩展的大型共享模型库,以及“建造”或“制造”作为一种人介入世界的方法在日常生活中的显现而展开。在作品之间相互独立又关联的网络中,模型库成为了个人或集体记忆的容器,由用户制作分享的模型被改造为虚构的日常生活场景及异色故事——当人变异为物品之后的世界。与此同时,在世界的不同端口,这些数字造物正搭载着有关现代生活的知识、风格与理念,通过未充分渲染的图像和表面化的结构经由网络快速传播,并重新涌向现实。
