DEATHSynthetic Thanatos is a pioneering group exhibition hosted at Hyundai Motorstudio Beijing, exploring the shifting boundaries of mortality in the post-human era. At the intersection of biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and sound art, the exhibition interrogates how digital permanence challenges biological decay. By bringing together interdisciplinary artists, Synthetic Thanatos proposes a future where death is no longer a terminal event, but a programmable data stream, blurring the line between organic finitude and algorithmic immortality."

Symphony of Creation is a narrative artefact that incorporates human creations and nature creations .
These elements are interconnected within
a narrative context, involving the audience (creator) directly into the story, making them part of the artefact. The aim is to create and respond to various echoes. This concept seeks to engage the audience deeply, blurring the lines between observer and creator.

Whispers of the Unseen: Sonic Alchemy
An integral component of the Synthetic Thanatos group exhibition, which interrogated the convergence of bio-politics and machine learning. My contribution featured a sonification installation derived from raw AFM data of dying cells. In the industrial, high-tech context of Hyundai Motorstudio, the work challenged anthropocentric narratives by amplifying the 'last scream' of non-human entities, creating a stark contrast between biological fragility and technological permanence.Death
