Beautiful Scenery
In the past, photography has been viewed as a documentary medium capable of capturing images of the real world as proof of actual existence. However, with the vigorous development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, we live in an era of information explosion. We face a lot of images and information on daily base. How do we distinguish between truth and falsehood?
The artwork "Beautiful Scenery" starts from a 4×6 photo, generative coloring technology is applied to expand the boundaries of the photo. Then the continuously generated results is further projected in the exhibition room. When using artificial intelligence to quickly fill the imaginative desire, can it expand and generate infinitely? Is it possible to continuously produce another beautiful scenery as imagined in the heart?

"Slowness" seems to have become a difficult thing. Images are used to convert and express invisible feelings and sentiments in the hope to retain these moments, slow down to feel and reflect.
