- Xiao Hei
- Real-time Interactive Data Visualization
- -
- Xiao Hei is a little black dog, it is a character in chinese landscape painting artist Wunan's works. The program turned Xiao Hei into 3D computer graphic and mix up Wunan's landscape with randomly appeared computer made 'landscape', like digital computing 'cloud' comprised of real-time information, 'mountain' in geometric computer graphic shape, cubic 'planet' powered by google. As well as participators can send real-time messages to the world through the social network.

- IM Fragments
- Interactive Application
- -
- IM Fragments is one of the serial works that woodcut artist, Liu Qingyuan, does by electric saw which forms human faces from wood fragments. The interactive project takes apart and restores original pieces, allows them to be assembled into a database programmed to enable every participant to send instant messages to the database via all kinds of IM applications, such as text message, MSN, and QQ. People who send messages will receive a responding message sent by the database automatically and each one of these fragments of messages can draw one piece of the fragment image out onto the screen. Since response message are sent by web server (the working platform for exhibition) responses appear to be stubborn and do not correlate to queries. In this way, all correspondence between participants and database are regarded as language fragments and will be reformed together with the image fragments to somehow give shape to the original art works projected on the screen. Once a piece of the entire woodcut work completely manifests, which is determined by the level of message saturation, the piece will automatically collapse, waiting for the next round of recombination.

- Attack The Acupoint
- Interactive Application
- -
- The project designed a 3D human body image floating in a dark data space-time. The participator can input hyperlinks from any website with open API, such as blog, space, RSS feeds, and so on (the system default setting is Google RSS). Like attacking the acupoints in Chinese Kung Fu fictions, information from the world wide web can attack the 3D human body continuously which is a metaphor for the impact mass information has on our physical existence. Once all the acupoints of the 'digitalized individual' 3D human body are attacked one by one by the mass information, the body collapses into numerous data particles in a dark data space-time. And after that, the same program will reform the 3D human body image.

- Is now the future of the past?
- Application
- -
- The project sets a webcam to collect participants' images second by second, then it pieces together these images to form the original images of the posts for the working platform of the exhibition and updates them over time. Clicking on any one of these images will bring you back to the original post. On-the-spot participants can take part in all the communication that already happened online, and in this way they can experience a triple space-time (preparation, present and reformation).

- Yi
- Interactive Device
- -
- Yi (易) is an interactive device, the device uses an AVR microprocessor to drive an LED dot matrix display to imitate the ancient way of fortune-telling know as "Bagua" or "8 Gua". The device displays 8 buttons representing the 8 directions, Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Can, Li, Gen, and Dui, as well as 8 icons representing eight kinds of natural phenomena, Heaven, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Water, Fire, Mountain, and Lake. Depending on the combinations of buttons pressed, the device will show transformations of 8 Gua into 64 Gua.
