DEFINE and BE DEFINED

DEFINE and BE DEFINED

Have you ever wondered what you look at every day?


Does it matter what to watch?


What are you?


Our conception of this work stems from exploring and revealing the relationship between people and information in the current information age.


In the current era of information explosion, each of us is a part of the ocean of information. This ocean is vast and full of all kinds of information, some profound, some superficial, some true, some false. Each of us is not only the recipient of these messages, but also the witness, the bearer and the definer of them.


At the same time, as a part of information, people exist and are defined by information based on their multiple identities and characteristics in the social, cultural and technological environment.


The way information defines people is a complex and multi-dimensional process that reflects the multiple identities and characteristics of people in social, cultural and technological contexts.


We further find that information defines the human body’s present social identity and role, cultural background and values, behavior pattern and personality characteristics, online identity and digital footprint, group belonging and sense of identity and so on.


We are also concerned that the process by which information defines people is not entirely objective and neutral. The selection and presentation of information is often influenced by a variety of factors, including personal subjective consciousness, social prejudice, and technical limitations.


Regardless of whether information defines people or people define information, in this process, we find that people are information and information is people themselves. Therefore, we hope to remind people through this work that when understanding and interpreting information, we need to maintain critical thinking and avoid being defined or misled by a single information.


Based on this concept, we explore the dialectical relationship between the mutual definition and the defined between people and information, and express it through highly symbolic abstract media language to produce this work.
