GENE EDITING(2022)ILLUSTATIONS AND VIDEO
This project discusses the issue of humans using genetic engineering technology to customise their offspring, imagines the possibility of genetic modification. As technology advances, the illusion of having the best genes, perfect looks, and superior intelligence will emerge in new ways. Genetic selection will also bring about a new class system. The resources of genetic improvement technology will fall into the hands of capitalists, and the profits brought by the improvement will continue to be controlled by them, resulting in a broader gap in social resources. My work draws attention to equity, sociall justice, and non-discrimination through resin sculptures, VR Animation.

Gene editing, 2023, Illustration lightbox, 180CM x 75CM
I built a virtual world of gene editing and made the illustrations into videos, allowing people to travel to a world constructed by genetic changes. It includes the capitalists of gene editing companies, ordinary people manipulated by capitalists, genetically modified babies, machines that produce excellent genes, space for women to give birth to perfect babies, gene breeding space stations and gene vaccines, showing that genes have become the ultimate dream of human beings under the transformation of science and technology.Genetic selection will also bring about a new class system. The resources of genetic improvement technology will fall into the hands of capitalists, and the profits brought by the improvement will continue to be controlled by them, resulting in a broader gap in social resources.
GENE EDITING, 2023, VR filter
1 designed an AR filter for wearing jewellery to help people change their genes by changing their appearance and displayed and spread on the Internet to make gene editing more popular to narrow the gap in social resources caused by gene editing and arouse people's attention on fairness, social justice and non-discrimination.
In my project, I constructed a virtual world of gene editing, and my concept of a future gene manipulation device was introduced into the use of resin sculpture to create a figure sculpture.
