A painting, an installation, a single frame locks in an outcome. A book, a passage, a song, a film, a sentence, a gesture—all trap the beginning, the process, the result. Every work points to past, present, and future—metaphor, simile, satire, and plain depiction. Life, too, is boxed in by beginnings, processes, and outcomes! But I refuse to let life, or my art, be confined.
Right now, my works are constrained by these mediums. But last night, I spent hours thinking and remembered this: as a child, I would take mini comic books (smaller than my palm) of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf—prizes from capsule toy machines—and, with my sister, tear out pages to leave at the doorsteps of every household in my grandmother’s hallway. It was exhilarating. I’d eagerly wait, thrilled to see if anyone would notice or pick them up. That anticipation of watching people’s reactions was pure joy.
This time, I’m sending out my beloved Digimon cards, transforming them into an eternal, ever-flowing artwork that transcends time and space!
The work is dynamic—constantly in motion, endlessly giving and taking. And yet, I cannot interfere with how, when, or if someone will receive or respond. All I can do is keep the work moving, ensuring its presence, its pause, and its reappearance. I won’t linger to observe its progression every day, because it’s already alive, flowing within the rhythms of life.
Perhaps, if you visit now, you might find one household’s Digimon card blown to another doorstep, or see an elderly neighbor stretching at his door accidentally kicking one two meters away. This work is like a piece of musique concrète, producing unpredictable environmental sounds and frequencies. Or no—it is the originator of creation itself, producing concrete music and real events.
To someone watching the video or reading this text, the work might seem to have a beginning and an end. But in truth, it is constantly shifting, changing with every second. It doesn’t rest like a painting or a statue, stuck in a static outcome or quietly eroding under traditional methods of conservation. It neither grows nor diminishes. It simply flows with time and space, sometimes even ruling over them.

一幅圖畫一個裝置框死了一個結果，一本書一段文字一首歌一部影片一句話一個動作框死了開端過程結果。作品總指向過去現在將來、隱喻明喻諷刺直描…人生框死了開端過程結果！我不想人生都被框死，目前的作品都被局限在這些媒材中！費了一晚想，喔我小時候會跟妹妹將扭蛋抽獎換領得來的喜羊羊小漫畫本（比手掌還小）在婆婆家門的迴廊每家每戶撕一頁放到他們門前。每次玩都好開心，之後還會很興奮去觀望經過的人，出來的人會不會看或拿起來。每天期待著。今次我要把最愛的數碼暴龍卡送出去，做一個永垂不朽不斷流動超越時間空間的作品！
作品是動態不斷移動不斷give & take，但同時不能干預對象怎樣、何時接收回應。你只能不斷移動不斷使其出現又停留又出現。我不會每天持續做這個行為或觀望它的發展。因為它已經在流動的生活之中。可能你現在去看有一戶的暴龍卡飛到另一邊，下一秒另一張被剛開門伸懶腰的伯伯滑倒。滑到2米外。這個作品是一首具象音樂出現不一形狀的環境聲響和頻率，噢不，它是創造物的始祖，它produce出具象音樂、真實事件。它在觀看影片和看這段文字的人眼中有開端和結果，但它實則在每分每秒中移動變化。它不是一幅畫或雕像般停留在結果或在傳統藝術保育法中悄悄剝落顏料和泥土。它沒有增長沒有減少，只是在跟隨時間空間流動，有時主宰時間和空間。
