Artist Statement:

Technology makes our life easier.

So, the human can be slaved by technology, but the most important thing is the human who drives behind it.

Searching for meaning in hi-tech world makes human more humanize.

Performance Art Concept:
Action Poetry can be viewed as one of contemporary arts belonging to non-representational genre. It does not only come up from subjective consciousness as ideological response toward socio-cultural problems, but also a manifestation of the artist’s interior self-exploration. Action Poetry is unusual activity made up from the usual world. It could be read as multi-interpretable text. Thereby, it takes the risk of becoming “something” or nothing at all.
