This graduation project originated from reflections during my participation in the 'Megalith in the Deep Time — Seeking Xingxiulong Chengi' geological imaging project: How can we restore a fossil when faced with an overwhelming amount of image information and archives? Continuing the creative preferences from my undergraduate studies, we carried out innovative practices across multiple levels, including narrative, presentation, and image production.
The project depicts the living conditions of contemporary
construction workers through an AR interactive imaging
installation, exploring the urban exclusion faced by construction
workers as direct builders of the city. It further examines
the lack of subjectivity among construction workers
under China's urban-rural dual structure and attempts to
awaken a cry in silence.
The project explores four images of human rhythms
shaped by technology through a (VR-interactive) new
media image covering four spaces, using the electric light
as a symbolic symbol of civilization and modernity, and
contemplates the process of human development as a history
of conquering and destroying darkness.
