No. 11 (2024)

The work consists of a rice cooker, a grain of rice, a magnifying glass, and an image of the bottom of the rice cooker and the Large Hadron Collider of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The work explores the contradiction between technology and perception. I eat rice every day, rice cooked by technology, I do not understand how they are made and how they work, what I know is how to use them. Like art, in the past, artistic creations developed in parallel with technology. But now technology develops too quickly and people's trust in technology is gradually lost, creating complex, contradictory relationships.
