Distorted Boundary
Feixue Mei
Artist Statement:
How technology influences people’s life? What will happen when contemporary technology meets with traditional Chinese paintings? If ancient people have access to the internet, they would have access to tons of information around the world. How will they respond to this information? Will information change their opinions? Will information change their aesthetic standard? Will they be self-conscious about their appearances? Will they use contemporary technology to change their appearances? How would they respond to other people’s judgements? Their physical bodies are falling, fading and drowning in cyberspace. Their online identities are shaped by people’s comments and follower’s reactions. Bad words become cyberbully, they are accumulating and expanding. What will happen when the boundary is distorted? Can they escape from the virtual? What is real? They are always being judged again and again.
