TAO Hui

Smoke and Light documents the laser drawing process of making texts and patterns. The text of the work address the artist’s observation of the new technology and the current situation of human beings. TAO makes analogy between the phenomenon that the evolution of printing technology brings changes to the culture of painting and calligraphy, and the theme of the impact of the birth of the refrigerator on human food culture. The design of the text and patterns in the video imitates the elements of commercial design, attempting to popularize the visual presentation in style, thus making the audience re-examine the relationship between themselves and technology under the given visual habits of the public.
