Since departure of the originality of my creation of paintings in 2006, through the
alternative circulation and rise and decline of body system, the genetic mutation influences
the relationship between subjectivity and its existence. On one hand, the objection of
technology and media results in the negative effect of turbulence and monopolization in
this modern society; on the other, the body has to count on the salvation of artificial
technology in order to sustain it. In this regard, the contradiction of technology has been in
existence. A yearly routine of physical examination forces me to put daily trivia aside, to
serenely and cautiously inspect if any minor decay of body is damaged by all kinds of
enormous and complicated medical devices; in the meanwhile, to view the destruction
from life and the physical system seemingly working properly by the artificial assistance
for the past one year. This observation and perception of this specific body operation is
often considered as the similarity of social phenomena of where we live in our daily life. In
certain level, it influences me to interpret the social structure from imitating the body
system. In this sense, the structure of diseases could be a metaphor of the morbid society
today. The creation of works is regarded as a medium of the metaphor, and the piece of
work becomes the interface of the connection between the body and the external world.
The interactive video/sound/kinetic installation Disturbance is inspired from the repulsive
reaction generated from allergy. It tries to express the appearance of disturbance which
triggers a further discussion of the interactive media disorder in the society immersed by
the internet and media. The mobile Internet keeps us being in a condition of crowds at
every single moment. When incidents occur, there are only few people who realize the
whole context, whereas most of them are deceived by the real-time and superficial
consciousness spread via Internet that forms peculiar atmosphere. Therefore, the Internet
turns the society into an allergic condition. The metaphor of disease connects the subject
matter of symptom to social phenomena.
This thesis is expected to structurally collate and elaborate the subjective point of view
toward rapid decayed physical system with the methodology of text thinking. By the
interpretation of disease, it metaphors the external views as the subjectivity, trying to
connect the internal and external of body system which separated by skin.
