Gluttonous Feast

Project Type:Collaboration

Completion Date:05/03/2023

Site:Pearl Harbor, USA

This project reveals the hypocrisy of capitalists and social inequality. This is a project to build a worldview. The worldview I conceived is that/ During a world war, the leaders of Country M chose to sacrifice soldiers for war benefits /and later /hypocritically built a memorial to hide this fact. The building I built is actually a pork processing factory, In this project, the metaphorical representation of lower-ranking soldiers as pigs and the entire structure symbolizing their journey in war, from the bottom-level pig farm to the top-level restaurant, encapsulates their experiences of survival. People feasting in the upper restaurant, symbolize the capitalists.

Background

The background of the story takes place during a world war, in which country R wanted to sneak attack country M. The upper-level leaders of country M decided to sacrifice soldiers in order to participate in the war and gain war benefits. After making a lot of war fortune, they hypocritically built a building for the dead soldiers. memorial.

Symphony of Justice

Project Type: Individual

Completion Date:5/1/2024

Site:Shanghai, China

——The project "Symphony of Justice" is a design for a futuristic digital courtroom. While the law is intended to serve as a tool for sanctioning illegal activities, errors or injustices can occur during court proceedings, and extremists may pose threats to judges and lawyers. Inspired by this, I contemplated whether AI could replace humans in the process of judgment.

Based on this background, I proposed the design of a digital AI courtroom and developed the corresponding algorithmic workflow. The entire space revolves around a case story. The purpose of this project is to reflect on the digitized AI courtroom. While it offers advantages in terms of efficiency and reducing human bias, compared to human judges, AI lacks emotional and humanistic insights. Therefore, I decided to retain human involvement in the digital courtroom to ensure a more humane and just trial.

The existing judicial process is under great time pressure, and the court hearing process includes preparation for a hearing, court investigation, court debate, evaluation, and sentencing. The trial process is slow

Including issues such as unequal treatment of defendants, discriminatory judgments, unfair trials, and improper use of evidence

The cost of litigation is high, and not everyone can afford expensive lawyer and court fees.

rEsults: Medicine Dagger fingerprint Buttons Cigarette butts

These evidences were examined and found to be Bob's fingerprints on the dagger, the buttons were from Bob's clothes, and the saliva on the cigarette butt was DNA tested and belonged to Bob.

Exhibit Daniel was killed by Bob at home A dagger with fingerprints was left at the scene. Bob:Middleaged man, 35 years old, withdrawn, father has a criminal history --A bloody knife was found at the murder scene

Daniel was killed by Bob at home Andrew presented his alibi, and through the detection of the algorithm chair, it was determined that his crime probability was 8.9%,someone said that Bob was seen at Daniel's residence.

The Algorithm Space of the Trial Phase

Detain prisoners

The defendant's lawyer will be on the outer floor of the elevator and accompany the defendant during the trial. The defendant was on the inner floor of the elevator.

--The defendant puts his finger on it, and the algorithm chair will automatically extract all the information about the person.

Scan fingerprint

The person being tried puts his finger on the fingerprint extractor, and the machine will extract all the information about the person.

Water injection instrument

According to calculations, the probability of the defendant committing a crime is determined by injecting water

Migration of the Soul

Project Type: Individual

Completion Date:01/11/2023

Site:GuiZhou,JingXinZheng

——In recent years, the issue of "left-behind children" has increasingly garnered the attention of various sectors within Chinese society. These children, predominantly from rural areas of China, are a unique demographic whose parents leave for work in distant cities, resulting in the children enduring prolonged periods of loneliness and insecurity due to the absence of parental care and guidance.

The project utilizes spatial narrative design techniques to weave a tale of a left-behind child who, feeling discontent with his parents' prolonged absence, sadly leaves home and unwittingly enters the deep woods. The narrative reflects upon the psychological harm that children suffer due to a lack of parental presence during their formative years. The project constructs a sequence of six spaces that unfold in the order of the child's adventures.

Regeneration of crayfish

Project Type: Individual

Completion Date:07/12/2023

Site:Germany

——This project aims to address the problem of the proliferation of crawfish along the banks of the Rhine River in Germany by creating a new ecofriendly material through the fusion of crawfish shells with diverse materials

Project Description: The project begins with addressing the issue of crawfish infestation along the Rhine River in Germany. It entails an in-depth study of the crawfish's habits and habitats, as well as an investigation into the elemental composition of their flesh and shells, with the goal of discovering a viable solution to this ecological dilemma.

Algae and aquatic plants

Lobsters mainly feed on algae. They like to feed on the bottom of rivers, lakes and reservoirs, especially the algae and green leaves in the water.
