Artist Statement

My current works are experiments in integration of various disciplines including ceramics, sculpture, film/video, photography, 3-D animation and Web/sound interactive applications. A systematic structure of technology and an intuitive deduction of art present an intriguing combination that attracts me. The difference and similarity between the two provide a new zone of possibilities, a new kind of dramatic forces that I have always been looking for. I have found myself concentrate not simply on collecting but rather on synthesizing various fragments of implications embedded in technology and art into a new form of creative work. In this new playground, the rule of the game has yet to be established, and my imagination can roam freely.
