Hello Bloom
Hello Bloom combines AI-generated imagery with brainwave-sensing technology to explore the connection between human consciousness and the digital world. Wearing an EEG headset, participants have their thoughts and emotions translated by AI into unique digital flowers, each with forms and colors driven by their brainwaves, symbolizing the idea that “thought is creation.” These flowers can be stored in a digital space to form a “Brainwave Garden,” becoming visualized life forms of emotions and thoughts. The work envisions a future in which humans can shape the world through pure intention, opening a new chapter of human–machine interaction in an era where technology and nature coexist.

TAIWAN NEWTYPE
Taiwan has ranked #1 in the world for disinformation exposure for eleven straight years. Social media algorithms, fragmented platforms, diverse news sources, evolving scams, live-streamed content, and the rapid rise of AI have reshaped how information is delivered and believed.
This work asks: How can we separate truth from falsehood? And for Taiwan’s new generation, how could they choose wisely?
In this digital interactive game, players take on the role of a computer cursor navigating a virtual world, making quick decisions to accept or destroy false information, while seeking the messages they truly want to understand.
How to Play:
1. Move ＆ Select – Mouse + Keyboard
2. Attack – Left-click
3. Adjust Speed – Scroll Wheel
4. Symbols – Red = False, Green = True
5. Win – Reach 100% on your bar
Clone Skin
What affirms that one exists?
DNA, memory, a name?
Or identifying fire hydrants in a CAPTCHA test?
In the old tale Painted Skin, a creature being sketches a human form upon a sheet of skin, dons it, and thus moves among people as one of them.
Our sense of self is unsettled through relations with others and entanglements with the world; concepts that once seemed clear shift, word by word. Perhaps the condition of existence is not inscribed in the body’s boundaries, but emerges only in each moment of recognition, or misrecognition, by others, as though one must ceaselessly submit proof of being.
The story of the creature and the borrowed skin pries open the fissure between identity and form. In an age of sensors and recognition systems, even the category of “human” hovers in ambiguity, continuously negotiated through the protocols of detection.
The LUMI
The LUMI is an immersive interactive experience that uses light as its core language, merging technological systems with a sense of natural imagination.
“LUMI,” derived from luminous, refers to an artificial light-based lifeform. Through the simulation of its luminous pulse, participants are invited to engage, connect, and resonate within this dynamic ecosystem.
The installation is centered around the symbolic Tree of Life. Equipped with a motion capture system and handheld wireless light devices called LUMO, the environment responds in real time—transforming light, sound, and visuals according to the audience’s movement and rhythm.
Following a staged narrative structure—encounter, awakening, transformation, and return—participants are no longer passive viewers, but active contributors to the cycle. Each interaction becomes a moment of growth and variation within the evolving LUMI system.
Exquisite Insectors
Gaze Toward the Otherworld:
The Birch’s Eye and a Poetic Encounter with Digital Life
In a forest as pristine as snow,
lie hidden creatures forgotten by a bygone civilization—
Exquisite Insectors, as if awakened from a surreal dream.
Inspired by the exquisite corpse method,
this collaborative creation is a poetic encounter,
seeking to push the boundaries of the possible,
and unveiling the unexplored realms of our imagination.
In the Coming Millennium: Where Will Life on Earth Evolve?
The birch trees stand in silence,
their bark white as frost, their hollows dark as wells,
whispering forever of a cold life, devoid of warmth.
At the entrance, the visitor sees only apparent emptiness;
but through the eye of the phone,
immense creatures hidden in reality suddenly emerge.
Tangible void and virtual fullness intertwine,
evoking awe and wonder—
such is the enchanting magic of augmented reality!
Hallucination
AI technology is now so astonishingly lifelike, while I am so shocked that I am unable to recognize how today’s image industry has matured into a full simulacrum. It no longer requires clumsy machinery, nor the direct intervention of human operators. It already manifests, through the shaping from data instructions, the appearances so convincing that they blur the boundary between truth and falsehood. On this glowing screen, imagination surpasses reality, narrating possibilities that have no counterpart in our present lives. In projecting visions of the future and regeneration of the past, it leaves nothing concealed, instead creates a shared value.
When the screen powers off, what exactly has just happened? The relative position between human and machine seems to fall into darkness with the vanishing glow. What have been left behind are only the stories of characters within the script in our minds, and the persistence of vision that is the afterimage left by the light stimulus.
