Laser Cutting
‘we can not be seen and heard‘
The sentence I laser cut is a promotion for freedom, especially in today’s context of some religious, people do not have speech freedom. I use everyday magazine and coupon to make the laser cut material. The daily material cutout is the representation of ordinary people and their mundane lives.
3d - 2d
3d objects can be sliced or layed into 2d parts. And 2d parts can be used to make 3d items. In this practice, I learned the transition from 3d into 2d and remake 2d into 3d.

Photogrammetry

The story behind the capture
I keep empty wine bottles. These “useless trash“ has keep my little moments with my friends or just with myself in this apartment during these one-year. I am older than 21 by the way. I opened one of the sparkling wine with my roommate to celebrate her birthday last Saturday.
I want to record my apartment, especially something has special memory that I keep and collect but can not take away when I leave New York. So I scan these bottle and my apartment, I can attach some notes to these items and record these memories wherever I go and keep adding to my personal wine gallery.
3D models v.s. Reality
3D models is different than real physical things. It can only capture the moment I record, it can not change during time. However, in some way, it can last longer in the memory. For example, I may forget the meaningful moments of the wine I drunk even if I tried to remember. If i can give notes with the 3D scanned bottles with the story behind it, I can rewind the memory again.
FUTURE OF DIGITAL WORLDS
Because of consumerism, people buy too many things, and always replace something with another. We can stop, mentally and physically. Sometimes, people do not attach feelings and memory to objects any more. For example, People used to carry their old notebooks or cherished meaningful key rings, but such things become less unusual now. This can lead to feeling empty and feeling loss, besides consuming to many things is bad to environment. We need more meaning, more meaning to life, more meaning to our surroundings, more meaning to ourselves.
