​👇🏻Artist Statement👇🏻

​After moving from Hong Kong to San Francisco two years ago, I found myself immersed in a city where technology quietly structures everyday life, and where conversations around artificial intelligence (Al) are often framed in technical terms.

​This project emerges from a personal tension, an existential crisis in my own encounters with Al. While its possibilities are undeniable, something about our interaction and use of Al remains difficult to articulate - a feeling that is both empowering and unsettling.

​VIOLET brings this ambiguity into the physical space through digital collages, written correspondence with Al, and interactive installations.

​VIOLET takes its name from the last wavelength visible to the human eye, which represents the edge of human perception, beyond that lies the unknown. This mirrors where we currently stand with Al: as technological advancement moves faster than our comprehension, we are in new territories that we cannot yet map.

​This exhibition becomes part of that navigation. Three modes of human-Al relationship are staged: intimacy, control, and projection. They are not fixed categories, but rather shifting conditions through which we encounter and make sense of Al.

​VIOLET does not attempt to provide answers. Instead, it creates a space to sit with questions: what does it feel like to live with machine systems, and what do these feelings tell us about human identity, value and purpose?
