NEW MEDIA

Every year, forest fires of varying severity occur in most parts of the world due to climate change and human activities. I use three-dimensional modeling to make digital art to explore this problem. I create a virtual imaginary space by thinking about the connection between artists and human destiny community, and the projection of human emotions into the utopian world of animals.

I use modeling software and tools made by augmented reality (AR) to depict the whole process of forest fire and the emotional fantasy of animals produced by fear under the force of fire and disgust. I invite visitors to use their mobile phone cameras to access segments of the AR animation, as a means of increasing awareness of the interactive experience; between AR and ‘reality’. I'm trying to challenge myself as an artist, to be at the forefront of climate and environmental awareness as much as possible, to understand the exploration of nature.
