The Aggregation and Expansion of Digital Humanities

This project uses space and time as shared concepts and narrative materials to express the humanistic information contained or a particular feature felt and recognized by specific people in a specific time and space. Including aesthetic experience acquired by the senses from static or dynamic, the emotional value derived from memory (individual or group) evoked by historical imprints. Reconstruct narrative expressions with interactive augmented reality experience forms, stimulate digital means of humanistic creation, and explore digital art, computing technology and various interactive methods to encourage dialogue and enhance understanding of history, characters and environments.

She loves exploring the convergence between art, technology, environment, cultural heritage and humanities, researching the meanings of artwork and practice in the era of digital technologies and emerging technologies such as augmented reality, digital streaming, computer vision, and data science.
