Statement

In Wenhui's practice, she takes herself as the object of observation. Through her own experiences, Wenhui uses her work as a tool to research the impact of the era and society behind the individual. In addition, science fiction, Cult films, and video games had a profound influence on Wenhui's visual language. During her Ma study, She further explored using visual fictionalization and world-building as the method to experiment with critical storytelling. Her work is focused on creating a communication model of cryptic visual narrative, combining metaphorical and chaotic quirky visual aesthetics that aim to build an uncanny dimension to rethink reality.


Whisper: Discontent and anger about many things are the fuel for her creation!






The Burning Cocoon


Launch Project

This project is trying to expand the boundaries of the chronic illness narrative. As a chronic pain patient, I attempt to create a model of disease self-narration based on my own experience. To take the marginalization of chronic pain as the entry point. It seeks to explore the ethical issue of chronic pain raised by posthumanism that patients' pain is not isolated in the sick body. Through the visual narrative trying to highlight chronic pain is socially constructed as any emotion. The relational interaction between the individual patient and the outside world has built multiple dimensions of chronic pain.

Post-Destination

The interactive online world of Post-Destination.
The interactive online world of Post-Destination. — This world we created is neither utopian or dystopian, serving as a liminal crack between the virtual and real. We named it Post-Destination, raising issues for the destination of Google and the destination of our society. What will the future look like? There is no answer now. What is the relationship between humans and Ai? "Unknown".

Post-Destination seeks to establish a concern for the entanglement between humans and non-humans, the ethics of artificial intelligence. We find ourselves increasingly dependent on AI, and algorithms. Invisibly, we have become emotionally attached to them. We should find a healthy way to live with AI, even if the AI has its consciousness. It is easy to be afraid of AI, but we neglect to think, might they be afraid of us?
Post-Destination Film — The film we made is in first person perspective, where the viewer is at the whim of the navigation app on their smartphone. For them to reach the “destination” their device instructs them to “get inside the post box”. Inside the post-box we enter a world that is a simulacrum of our reality, constructed in virtual space. It is inhabited by pantomimic creatures generated by AI prompts. Their intentions are unclear, are they friend or foe?
