Landscape society has imperceptibly controlled us. I will bring images to different places to shape and change the landscape. It is precisely the media that has accelerated the decline from the modern production field to the postmodern simulacra society. To think critically about the semiotic meaning of the image itself and its instrumentalization and politicization in today's society.


A truly existing culture and land is about to disappear, and technology is bringing about a "Digital Nation".

With today's pipelined production created by digital simulation, everything seems to be replicable, but when everything is digitized, when everything is replicable, how do we identify what is true and what is false in the environment?

My intention was to demonstrate, by combining images with experiments, that we need to have non replicability.It is precisely the media that has accelerated the decline from the modern production field to the postmodern simulacra society.  Contemporary society, on the other hand, is a simulated society created by the mass media, where the real and original things have been replaced by the large-scale typification of simulacra and simulation, making the world more simulacra.

Landscape society has imperceptibly controlled us.  I will bring images to different places to shape and change the landscape.  I think watching images in different spaces will have different feelings.  Viewing space is also a part of images.  To think critically about the semiotic meaning of the image itself and its instrumentalization and politicization in today's society.

Under the theme of distinguishing the intangible control of human formation by landscape society under the control of technology, I further explored the development of artificial intelligence in a society of technological development.   In the recent stage of rapid development of the artificial intelligence assistant spiritual realm, I have discovered that artificial intelligence has been able to form some simple self-thinking and self-creation. This reminds me of my work on distinguishing between reality and falsehood. When artificial intelligence can create works that make it impossible for humans to distinguish whether they are created by humans, I begin to ponder and explore the significance of reality, just like "there are no two identical leaves in the world". While technology brings high productivity and reproducibility, we need to cherish the unique and authentic things.
