\u201cMaking the invisible visible\u201d is the major theme that I wanted to convey by my works during the graduate student period. For me, I prefer to know and perceive one thing by vision, hearing, or touch rather than some windy and abstract concepts. For example, time, data transfer, and the process of the forming of thoughts in our minds are all abstract which cannot be heard, seen, or touched. However, if I claim that one or some species on the earth or in the universe can perceive the \u201creal entity\u201d of the processes above, it is also credible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything involved with \u201cchange\u201d is tangible. In the past, \u201ctangible\u201d and \u201cintangible\u201d are used to refer to entities from the perspective of eye vision. According to modern opinions, what cannot be captured by our naked eyes may not be called as \u201cintangible\u201d philosophically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, from the perspective of philosophy, the \u201cinvisible\u201d may not be \u201cintangible\u201d. In short, as for a change, there is only the distinction between \u201cvisible\u201d and \u201cinvisible\u201d rather than between \u201ctangible\u201d and \u201cintangible\u201d. In addition, the world entities are divided into two types: one type refers to the tangible entity with a speed lower than the light speed or detected entities; the other type refers to the intangible entities with speed faster than the light speed, such as ether. Thus, the passing of time and information transfer are invisible, which need some mediums. The invisible world can be recognized by people in the visible world. This is dialectics.\u00a0\u00a0

\u201cMaking the invisible visible\u201d means a lot to me. For example, if someone was shocked, he would sweat, heartbeat would become faster and pupil would enlarge, which are all external phenomena that can be seen by people, but what happened to this person’s internal world? What will happen to his brain? I am curious about these. In terms of time, the passing of time is visible but only through various watches which are a kind of tool to meet the demands of human beings who are the advanced animals, but many phenomena are the visible expression, including sunrise and sunset, the change of the four seasons and the change of shadows, etc.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n


In my works, shadows, ices and brain waves are three mediums of expression. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
