Statement


Freedom, Digital, and Love lie at the core of Digital Nomadism, serving as the foundation of my artistic research. Through the fusion of art and technology, I aim to craft a distinctive research methodology that delves into the confusion of individuals in the age of information overload. The focus is on deciphering the contemporary human condition by examining its status amidst the inundation of information.

To extend the scope of my Digital Nomadism research, I am actively engaged in establishing an electronic community through my artwork. The primary artwork creative methods I employ include installation, mixed media, projection, and computer vision. In my current artistic practice, I strive to integrate computer vision technologies with conceptual art, resulting in the creation of mixed media pieces that reflect the complexities of our modern world.

My research is enriched by references to diverse fields. By tapping into the insights of different disciplines, I seek to unravel the perspective of contemporary art creators navigating the intricate backdrop of our confusing era through this interdisciplinary approach.
