Information consists of a complex web of messages which, nevertheless, often lose their credibility by the media exaggeration or distortion from media in a world where reality and fantasy are nearly synonymous, everyone keeps carry out lies which seem more truthful than the truth in the name of dreams. The more persuasive certain accounts are, the more likely they are lies. Human beings conduct research in order to explore the unknown reaches of the universe. Scientists sent satellites or spacecrafts into the space on the assumption that there are other living creatures on other planets. They then publish certain images or data to prove the occurrence of this event. In this sense, it can be suggested that essentially, practice means materializing some kind of virtual reality. What I try do do with this project is similar: by carrying out the artwork which is inspired by the fantasy of space adventures, I tried,with the fantasy messages,to describe the scenes which seems illogical. Fantasy is the screen that separates desire from drive. It tells a story that allows one's drive and will to evolve around the subject for no purpose at all. Eventually, the (false) perception accumulates into a sense of loss which is the source of desire. A volcano of messages erupts as a result of unfulfilled desire. The whole thing looks as if it was wrapped with layers of texts. As I try to describe the scenario in great detail while constantly having to ask myself whether it is real or not, those messages begin to lose meaning. Any meaning would have to be the product of social or cultural construction. (Young Hong-Guo)
