As a designer and engineer, I would like to understand and explore the world from both humanistic and scientific perspectives


The media are not toys… they can be entrusted only to new artists, because they are art forms.
(McLuhan, 1954)

     
      
      




The Moment

During the pandemic, people have to use online communication tool to connect with each other and share their opinions. When the speaker have to encounter the situation that some of his or her audience get the opportunities to hide themselves behind the screen and lurk, each potential connection between the audience and speaker has been cut off. Some of the audience became invisible.
Play with the distance!

Each block represent one person. So with the different decoration, we can show ourselves or lurking behind the screen. For the speaker, he or she can change the physical structure and distance between their distance between audience and speaker.

This kind of lurking make us lose the sense of distance, which is impossible in the real life. So my intention is to amplify the influence of lurking by playing with the distance.
