This project expresses the authenticity of information dissemination and propaganda media, with the purpose of allowing people to re-examine and judge the information they receive, emphasizing that although people are trapped in their own information cocoons to varying degrees, they still need to have their own The importance of independent thinking and careful analysis and judgment.

I was fascinated by outer space creatures and supernatural acts when I was little, watching the movie E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial. I am very impressed by nature and its many manifestations and try to look for the usual things but out of the ordinary in different perspective around me. So I choose flower as my final album cover patterns because flowers perhaps are a kind of symbiosis of elements from meteorite that hit the out planet millions of years ago and plants that already existed on earth. And I believe there is conversation between plants that we just ignore. All these creatures that you will see in my project look like aliens or space objects.

From ancient times to the present, any behavior is inseparable from the word information. Information can influence and determine a person, a religious custom, or even a country's behavior, thoughts, and even destiny to a great extent. In this age where media is everywhere and information is flowing, people have to accept a huge amount of information every day. People are often influenced by a single information source and recommendation algorithm, and can only see the information they want to see, which makes their thinking more and more closed. And when some people begin to realize it and start looking for other sources of information, they will be overwhelmed by overwhelming and completely opposite information. So how to distinguish the authenticity of information? Is there someone who can control the spread of information and create an information cocoon for others? And when people are looking for the "truth", are they just entering another information cocoon? Tolstoy said that every writer is only writing his own one-sided knowledge. Information cocoons not only exist in online media, but also exist around people in countless forms.

This is a pair of glasses made of hand elements. The lens color of each pair of glasses is different. When people wear different glasses, they can see different information.

The element of hand symbolizes the blockade of self and external information. You can only observe with a limited perspective.

When you find that there is actually a lot of complicated information that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, you need to distinguish it yourself.

When the lights dim, this is what the exhibition looks like. I used particle elements to represent the spread of a lot of information that is edited. The more doors you open, the more unstable the information cocoon becomes. Gradually its true nature is revealed.

When all the doors are opened, you will find that when you are observing the information cocoon, the forces behind it are also observing you. And behind all the doors, there are no other exits. It symbolizes the inescapability of the information cocoon. You and the information cocoon will definitely have conflicts.
