展覽理念：
空白含有虛擬、未知與想像，一種等待填入看法的狀態。利用新媒體介入動畫的手法，重新審視賦予生命的內涵，從生命開始到發生意外的一片空白，反思存在的意義。在視覺暫留與認知心理平衡下，虛擬與真實的互動成為對話、對立與傳達新媒體的面相。
去年初的結石切除手術過程發生小意外，心臟暫時停止一陣子，施行緊急搶救後脫險，透過這次心臟停止跳動的手術經驗，一種死而復生的感覺，生命過程從濃縮到靜止，未曾有過的空白，而我面對死亡的經歷可說當下毫無感覺，醒來後的傷口與疼痛，慶幸自己還活著，一種跟生命連結創作的激動，驅使我付諸行動。
The term “blank” implies a virtual, unknown, and imaginary state waiting to be filled with ideas. By intervening in animation via new media, this exhibition not only reviews the connotation of life but also reflects on the meaning of existence. The works in this exhibition are inspired by the “blank” that I experienced in an accident. Based on the persistence of vision and the balance of psychological cognition, the interaction between virtuality and reality becomes the outward appearance of dialogue, counteraction, and new media communication.
Early last year, I met with an accident when I had a lithiasis operation, during whichmy heart stopped beating for a while. I finally survived the operation after the emergency rescue performed by the surgeon. This experience granted me a new lease on life. My life had been gradually vanishing, and then entered an unprecedented blank. I felt nothing during the near-death period, while the physical pain I felt after being conscious made me count my blessings that I am still alive. Such excitement at resuscitation coursed through my veins and therefore prompted me to create these works.
