“Image Script” is a visual project based on the viral “fake socialite” case in Shanghai. I didn’t analyze a real image — instead, I imagined a perfect-looking social media photo, and wrote a full behavioral script behind it. The Character—MOMO Momo is a 25-year-old woman from Shanghai with a modest background. By joining group buys…

This photo was posted by my cousin. She’s in a luxury hotel, with flowers, and the Oriental Pearl Tower behind her — it looks like a perfect “socialite” moment . But I know her life isn’t really like that. For her, this image is a way to perform an identity — to look rich, elegant, and…

Social media is the most densely populated arena of contemporary social interaction, where images transform from “objects to be viewed” into “scripts to be imitated.” I hope to reveal, through simulation and structural analysis, how images compress public social behavior and regulate public identity by establishing a visual system. If contemporary visual culture has become…

Images as a Compression Mechanism of Behavior In Unit 2, I focused on how images operate as a compression mechanism. A seemingly insignificant picture may conceal complex behavioral pathways and social structures. For example, a selfie may consist of a fleeting moment of clicking a button. Yet, it compresses dozens of behavioral steps: makeup application, imitating…

In the tutorial, the tutor emphasized the need to clarify the purpose and audience of my work: is it merely a personal exploration of everyday imagery, or does it carry social, cultural, or political intentions, requiring me to define a more specific research focus? He suggested I look at The Rodina’s project Sonic Acts Academy…

Written Component: We often rely on images to understand the world. But can a single image truly tell us what happened? And when we use 3D modeling to respond to an image, are we simply copying what we see, or building something entirely new — something the image never showed? This was the starting point…

WEEK 1: I started with a very personal  image: { a photo of my bedsheet } I tried to translate it into a navigable 3D structure,treating modeling as a way to extend the information embedded in a photo. Visual Practice： WEEK 2: This week, I focused on a small corner of my kitchen, right after…

This project began with a photograph of a hen laying an egg — a strange yet fundamental image, containing subject, action, object, and context. In the first week, I explored how a still image could be interpreted through 3D modeling by simplifying the form, reducing mesh density, distorting UVs, and restructuring angles. These experiments raised…

Societies1/2: Participating in this course has deepened my understanding of archives as more than neutral records, but as contested spaces that shape historical narratives and societal memory. The visit to the Bishopsgate Institute’s archive at 230 Bishopsgate, London, provided a firsthand experience of how archival collections can serve as powerful tools for representation, activism, and…

Infrastructure 2 with CAI I am truly grateful for the opportunity to participate in this workshop. The session provided a valuable introduction to quilting, not only as a practical skill but also as a meaningful form of communication with deep historical and social significance. The instructor introduced us to various textile artists and hand-sewn artworks,…
