During the mechanical ages we had extended our bodies in space. Today, after more than a century of electric technology, we have extended our central nervous system itself in a global embrace, abolishing both space and time as far as our planet is concerned. Rapidly, we approach the final phase of the extensions of man-- the technological simulation of consciousness, when the creative process of knowing will be collectively and corporately extended to the whole of human society, much as we have already extended our senses and our nerves by the various media Whether the extension of consciousness, so long sought by advertisers for specific products, will be "a good thing" is a question that admits of a wide solution.
——Understanding media, Marshall Mc Luhan.

This is an ongoing series of digital art projects.
The advent of the information age, the renewal of digital technology, and the massive influx of information data images into our lives. What happens when images that slice and dice the real world are no longer the starting point for artistic creation?

For me, the procedure of recreating an image operating a computer is like a butterfly fanning its wings in the Butterfly effect, where a few simple movements trigger a huge storm of destruction, like toppling dominoes, in which the image is constantly destroyed and a never-before-seen image is reconstructed.

In the information age where everything is speeding up and in the rapid flow of images, I see each of the works in this series as a stop-motion, and these images are all more or less connected to my subconscious. I understand myself through these images like I interpreted Rorschach's ink.

The artist's creative process is similar to the scientific community's ambition for dark matter, shaping its own alchemical space while inspiring thoughts on color, form, and the meaning that art-making gives to the world through language.
By exploring the realm of abstract spirituality and linguistic semiotics, the artist seeks to transcend the limits of the material world and figurative art, while generative art fits the artist's ultimate quest for imagination, unpredictable diversity, and innovation, while serving as a habitat for the artist to rest in the spiritual realm.
