Summary:碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 新媒體藝術學系碩士班 === 103 === We have a lot of things to balance in life, and end up with little capacity to be concerned about the society, environment and other issues. Sometimes its not that we don’t know or don’t care, but we feel helpless in face of it, what can we really do? The surrounding environment that have changed and disappeared, along with the above-mentioned powerlessness, forms a habitual discarding, in which even experiences of life are constantly discarded. My creation is a reflection of this state, where I hope to rediscover lost emotions through this sort of contact. Through biological mimicry, my new works interpret emotions and reflect the warmth of memories; the time and space diversion of leaving my hometown to study creates a new layer of sentiment when facing memories of my hometown. In a state that is at the same time within and outside of things, I can reconsider and face myself at the roots. In this thesis, I discuss on the basis of my past experience and memories, fragments of life that have been eliminated under urbanization and industrialization, and the emotional conflicts that have been inflicted upon me. In my serial work Symbiotic Seedlings, I fictionalize thought through mimicry and symbiosis, giving life and imagination to objects. The work is a translation, recording people, event, and things that are important but have no solution for, in life. Mimicry reflects the projection of emotions, behind the projections, through the form of plants and sign of life, what I try to construct is that within the imaginations of a life form is an introspection of humanity. The microscopic perspective and feeble sounds created by the object, along with its random repetitions, narrates an emotional fraction that differs from the memory.The land in my memory is the soil that is losing warmth in reality, intertwines new memories, providing new elements for memory.
