Survival is Adaption


June 2021, Installation, Photography



The basis for survival is adaptation: when creatures have to face the extreme living environment, when the ocean becomes a habitat for survival, when computers become a reliable natural environment. The ability of facing the contingency becomes a working methodology.

On an endless river, where mammals and computers are living together, facing the disaster of climate warming, their diverse capacities coalesce into a supported partner. In this quick development of technology, how humans will adapt the risk, we will never know.


Decode Lab 2021

 
June 2021, Printed Edition, Publication



The Zine contains the work of 26 designers and artists. Thematically exploring the concept of “decode”, it extends into several different directions such as the idea of a Mobius Ring, Invisible and Visible, Archives, Identity, Physical and Digital, etc. We gathered the reflections to these topics in a zine, which can be passed along as a physical object. Audiences are able to leave a comment under different works to take part in the art projects, as well as enter a digital world of AR by scanning the designated images. When people finish reading, they can pass it to another person.

Society/Identity | Public Space/hiding things | Visible/invisible | Human/ Nonhuman | Digital/physical | Archive/Data

The “automatic machine” operated by this huge economic machine, and the “automatic machine” is not going to love.
