"This work is about education, how education is a tool for the authorities to educate people, these words are selected from the most frequently used words in elementary school textbooks, this video is teaching you to learn Chinese, in a way that torments boredom and violence"
I put an alarm in the exhibition and forced people to wear headphones to watch the video.
An alarm is like a teacher, and this learning process requires a violent teacher to watch over you
Exhibition Venue “we so fxxking like study !!!”

Noble new life
' This work is about the The overwhelming power of capital and government. The garden, made by the people's own garden defense devices, has done its best in appearance, but is still weak .But it will always be suppressed by a greater power '
Initially conceived as a floor piece ‘Honourable New Life’ challenged gallery protocol when shown recently as was not deemed safe to be exhibited on the floor. Instead, this work was shown on a plinth, exaggerating the futile threat posed by the domestic anti-intruder spikes.
The anti intruder spikes are commonly used on the edges of property in south east asia to keep out intruders. The spikes are like individual protesters, fragile when just one but demonstrating collective action when there are many yet also easy to walk over. When the work is floor based it connects directly with the audience by sharing the same space as their feet. I am interested in the muteness of the spikes when they are walked over, like protestors whose rights are also muted.
