The Form Generation of an Organically Shaped Pavilion
What if you run out of some ingredients when making a dish?

Sure, you can go out to purchase some. But also, you can choose to revise the recipe a little bit based on the foods in your hand; and please be proud of it, that's human intelligence. However, we are losing this intelligence after industrialization. Is it appropriate to cut every unique tree into the same board?

Mask
The pandemic is the best time of my life.

The short film is a story about a woman worker being laid off by a mask factory before the pandemic. To pay for her salary, the factory gave her 1 ton of masks, which were worth nothing before the pandemic. But later, the situation changed. Mask has become a hot barter for money and sexual resources.

Project Coords

Interdisciplinary is precisely what I am good at. Every time the inspiration burst, in order to set the idea free from limits, I would learn some new skills to counter the challenge. Over time, I have broadened my skillset widely open, from art to tech, from reality to virtuality. Below is an axis graph to explain the Art-Tech/Digital-Physical coordinate of the skillsets used in my projects.

Special Thanks

Thanks to Matthew P Munger who created and shared this open source MattOS. This is really a powerful and enjoyable tool to use. I also learned a lot from how he manages this front-end system. Welcome to check out and support his work!
