Texts: The Illusion of Virtual Space

Abstract

In today’s pervasive communication, our daily lives are directly impacted by the way we talk, write and interact with each other’s. The conventional language of speaking and writing has been deviated into a “stateless language” where inexplicit expression can be easily conveyed and accepted by massive amount of people. This social media phenomenon has created a virtual space where many people choose to illuminate their relationships away from reality. This exhibition reflects the context of phone snubbing (phubbing) and virtual space displacement into a language of arts, demonstrating the illusion of texts and expressions. The Installation texts are interactive allowing spectator to participate in debating different opinions, translations, realizations and realities.
