Abstract
The specific space is one of the most crucial elements of my art. I prefer to view my art practice as a kind of spatial practice using different strategies to build connections between the spaces and people. The physical space has lots of attributes and features that affect people’s movements, experiences and needs. I try to merge the artwork into the building and generate other interesting functions and aspects of those spaces. I expand my tools and means of art by learning various techniques and software in the Electronic Integrate Arts program. I explore these tools and also combine them into my spatial practice. From the spaces that are filled with monitors, to the spaces of landscapes, to the spaces defined by the egress system, I experiment with site specific projects by using
various electronic media. I use these projects to question the site, and also research its history, functions and rules. From the physical structure to the cultural and institutional functions, I further probe the relationship between people and the space. These enable me to use the artwork to create my own imaginings and narratives of the specific site.
