Through experiencing a different perception, these works reconstruct and define this informationized representation to make the viewers examine their relationships between themselves and the environment. The first work “Walking between you and me,” tries to create a serene atmosphere so that the viewers can observe the others faces without hesitation, and lead the viewers to walk on the others faces by using their imagination. With viewing this process, to make viewers have the feeling in virtual situation and go through an experience that is different from the previous body-experience. The second work, “He and She” to order the different viewers head image randomly and show the faces look like male and female with horizontal and vertical ways. When the viewer watches the work, the viewer''s image is captured by the webcam and make the image integrate into the work. The purpose of the work tells the viewers that is just a different angle arrangement makes different visual effects. In the same way, we can have more multivariate viewpoints to treat people. The third work, “eMosic” captures social members’ expression and uses a music player with emotional music as the concept to show users instantly. It provides an access that people can communicate with each other by emotion exchange, and try to diminish the alienation what the Internet brings. The fourth work, “We Have Forgotten Who We Are” as the extension work of “Walking between you and me.” Using the same technology of “Blink Detection”, but for this work, abandoning all the previous process. It tells the technology has evolved rapidly in resignation. As for this, creators and viewers need to compromise with their creation and give in to the technology.
