Inhabiting the Capitalocene

“Social Disconnection” represents the feeling of the physical and psychological adaptation to a new environment. It is an interactive piece of work that depicts an unorthodox and ferocious dimension that holds obscure messages translated through the morse code, where the reality of our environment is pushed to the extreme by the challenging relativity of unprecedented times. As the name implies, Jean is wandering through the process of self-discovery by being disconnected from everything to figure out the mental and physical situation of our current society.

Eventide is a series of text and image works which discuss the continued danger for lone women walking in the city at night. This is an important, highly relevant discussion to
have-as recent events (concerning the murder of Sarah Everard) have proven that the streets are still unsafe, and probably never will be safe for a lone woman. Bringing women’s rights to the forefront of everyone’s minds is key to enabling change, and this work aims to help women
through raising awareness and amplifying a female voice.

I Knew I had  A Great Time was inspired by an ancient Chinese prose by Yuanming Tao, "Fountain of the Peach Blossom Spring".
The prose describes a peaceful, happy, free and equal life in the village. It depicts the
author's pursuit of a better life.
The film documents the artist's journey for this idealised world as they write eyes closed for 30 days.  Providing a new angle of observation: listening. This work is discovering and reconsidering the relationship between the outer world and ourselves.

Evolution aims to express political propaganda and the contrast between the ideal and reality.Due to the strict information control of china,  Yunlong wants to ask the audience whether the propaganda we see is the reality. There are two Spaces in this project. The first space into which the audience enters is a beautiful space for superficial publicity (outside the TV); the second space is a place where the ground is covered with garbage and the walls are filled with TV videos with lost signals (inside the TV), representing the real reality that no one pays attention to.

Oil Town is about people's indifference to history. Shot in Western China in Oil Town. In the last
century, China sent workers there to dig for oil.
When the oil dried up these people left the town. The whole oil town became an empty city overnight, and now it's just some ruins in the desert. And the town has disappeared from the map of China, the history has been forgotten.

‘Sitting out of time, in the mind’s garden’ is a photographic installation consisting of 3 components.
Each component outlines and unpacks the anxieties of the unknown future, a space that is distinguished by the realisation of the death drive and temporality of existence.
An eternal battle that binds the curiosity and sense of what meaning the mortal and immortal sphere hold to each other, as well as undoubtedly define the uncanny, as both appear to be a mystery, strange, unfamiliar and embedded with riddles.

'(un-)grounding the senses' draws parallels between embodied experience and emerging material forms of the contemporary image. The latter is processional, revealed anew via encounters between human and non-human agents. Encased within irregular translucency, the expressivity of abstractions escapes the latent image like open-ended expressions in a rhizomatic network. A shifting understanding of spacetime is rendering the traditional metaphysical approach to photography inadequate. Indeterminacy and a-symmetry point to the subjective and material sensorial experiencing of the world as existing in flux. Human consciousness is no longer considered the centre of things but an element in the inter-relational reality of today.

These memes "did" not "exsit" is an interactive project that aims to reveal our current entertainment situation by internet memes. Ruiqi manipulated all the laughing faces by AI FaceApp and hidden them inside the cubes of the maze. Ruiqi hopes this maze game can serve the function of uncanny joys but also let people have awareness of our living condition.

The Dockyard Project aims to explore the power imbalance and experiment with removing it; in summary, it seeks to ask the question “what happens when you distribute a project within its subject area?”. This project consists of two main parts, two zines and a social media presence. The zines exists as the focal point of the project, they’re used to provide a direct link between the artist and viewer. Essentially overall the work is designed to create and foster conversation, the art serves as a communication method asking a question rather than the main focus overall.
