Instance
"Instance": "Instance" is a term used in online gaming. In large-scale multiplayer online role-playing games, it refers to a separate area. When a character enters an instance, they are given a unique map that is invisible to others, with no collaboration or mutual support possible.
This work uses birds as a symbol of free will. Their movement trajectories, boundaries, and survival logic are all pre-determined, yet they are unaware of it. In reality, they exist within a closed system generated by algorithms.
Li Zhuoheng (b. 1994) was born in Tianshui, Gansu, and currently works and lives in Shanghai.
Li Zhuoheng's work focuses on the human predicament and technological paradoxes exposed by the evolution of technology. He responds to the accelerating logic of technology through poetic forms, translating observable states between humans and machines into an intuitive visual language. In his pieces, austere algorithms and organic emotions interweave and overlap, constituting a fluid new technological world. Through continuous reimagination of the concept of "the future," the artist reveals humanity's "re-understanding" and "re-construction" of the natural environment beneath the illusion of technological progress, thereby manifesting a tension that is both primal and avant-garde—a multifaceted reaffirmation of the intrinsic relationship between humanity and future technology within the torrent of technological advancement.
