With the rapid development of science and technology, many changes have occurred in society, politics and life. There are many different “entrances” in science, in society, in emotion, and in ecology. Some of these entrances allow us to explore the roots of life, some make our society a paradigm shift, some make subtle changes in emotions between people, and some even bring a huge change in the world.
There are many obstacles and deceptions in society, politics and life. There are five digital artworks which concern “Entrance Deal” through interactive installation, artificial intelligence, bio-art, blockchain and social media.
During the Covid-19 Epidemic, every building is covered with QR-Codes. They saved them with NFT and will auction them as a deal on the NFT trading platform.
The artist, studying abroad, decided not to go home during the 2021 Spring Festival. She made a DIY kit and sent it home, which brought cross-strait consensus on the Spring Festival and reunion.
Impressionism expressed the scientific meaning of „light“ in artistic creation. Artists trained the image generative model from the COVID-19 as a metaphor of the scattering phenomenon of light.
When two black holes orbit each other, they chirp. In the web-based applet, audiences could change the tone of the chirps by tuning several parameters of the physical model.
Humans do not have the ability to control the atmosphere. Plants use their stomata as the entrance of perception to decide to protect their lives.
