"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you"

As we domesticate AI, will we be domesticated by AI? The answer, I'm afraid, is yes. Hosted on a complex mechanical device metahuman, the red inexplicable glow dazzles at times and dims at others.

°020 - 021 EXHIBITION. INFORMATION DESIGN

The inspiration of project The Truth was come out from the pandemic situation. During the outbreak, I have noticed that the news reports released by the same media are often contradicted in content. Before the news released, medias have to make several judgements and selections subjectively. This results in the distortion of the truth and I decided to present the problems in this way.
