ERROR: SYSTEMS_&_BODIES
Before joining XPUB, I worked as an editor in Southern China. This experience triggered a FATAL EXCEPTION in my understanding of:
How the body is disciplined by systems
/// and how we react ///
I aim to find the cracks, the glitches, the moments where we can insert our own meanings.

SI#25 SOUND_OF_MAKING
[Key_Connection]: Sound collage, scriptwriting
In SI25, sound was the tool to explore invisible discipline.
Broadcast#3: Underwater_Exploration
> Field recording as storytelling
Using water as a metaphor to explore systems. Collaging diverse audio samples to investigate the textures of aquatic environments.
Broadcast#5: Bad_Customer_Service
> Script-based Narrative
Sound, like call center scripts, is repetitive and systemic. This project constructed a fictional space transforming protocols into narrative scripts.
Radio Worm: The Guideline to Shadows' Mindscape
A radio drama about the Chinese art system. Exploring algorithmic intrusion and escape.
SI#26 DECLARATION
[Key_Connection]: Interactive Interface // Real-time Gen
Face_Notation
Face Notation transforms the bodily markers of Chinese physiognomy into a music system.
Users adjust browser windows (CSS Grid), turning the disciplined body into a musical instrument.
SI#27 ATTENTION_LABOR
The Observer Clock
"Every blink counts. The more you blink, the faster the clock runs."
>> ATTENTION IS CURRENCY <<

THE_BUDDHA_MACHINE
[0] CONTEXT: THE_INFINITE_LOOP
Why research the Buddha Machine? There is a 24/7 sound in my house—ambiguous, genderless, looping "Amitabha" endlessly. This is my **mother's machine**. She once worked on the factory assembly lines; now, she uses this cheap plastic box to "accumulate merit."
SYSTEM_PARADOX_DETECTED:
- Soundscape: Factory = Hard Labor // Practice = Healing
- Body: Production Line = Tool // Home = Merit Accumulator
[1] METHODOLOGY: THE_PHANTOM_CITY
Output: Web-based Installation + Publication
A non-linear virtual space simulating "Spiritual Suspension".
User navigates a **"Phantom City" (Yicheng)**—a digital mirage.
- **STATE 1: THE LOOP:** If input == 0, system decays into noise.
- **STATE 2: THE GLITCH:** Clarity appears as a mirage, then dissolves.
- **STATE 3: SUSPENSION:** Repurposing the exhausted body in hyper-efficiency.
