︎ DARK MATTER 


In this series, I created designs based on the digital photographs I took in the hope that by merging the real with the unreal, I can add a sense of surreality to the scenes we see in daily life.

The original photos depict how sunlight interacts with buildings in the city. I then "installed" 3D logos of Ethereum onto the surfaces of these buildings. These logos seem unyielding, crystal, and even fluid in a sense; however, they fail to reflect natural lights like the architectural surfaces do. These parasitic objects resemble dark matters in the universe: they are invisible but nevertheless emit a sense of austerity.

Through the making of this project, I reflected on my understanding of cryptocurrencies and NFTs: they have their own place and importance in today's society, but they also retain a certain level of aloofness that demands respect from people while at the same time deterring them from getting too close.

在本系列中,我将自己所拍摄的数字影像进行了后期的处理与再设计,希望通过虚实的交互为现实生活中的景象渲染上一层魔幻的面纱。

初始的数字影像展现了城市中阳光与建筑物的碰撞,我通过后期处理将其虚化,让观众熟悉的现实变得不再清晰可触碰。在此之上,我在建筑物的表面“安插”上了代表以太坊的立体标识。它们看似坚硬、晶莹并有着流动性,但却没有如这些建筑物表面一般吸收自然的阳光。这些寄生于建筑表面的物体宛若宇宙中的暗物质,不可见但却散发着一种严峻的力量。

通过这一系列作品,我探索并反映了自己对于虚拟货币以及NFT的理解:它们在当代社会中有着自己的地位与重量,但某种程度上有着不近人的威严感,使人景仰但也不敢轻易靠近。
