Influenced by The Elements of Euclid, this series of work conveys a mathematical dissection of the realistic world, containing rational numerical formulas, as well as retaining humanistic traces of manual production. Through drawing cyber graphics by hand, the work reflects on the current relationship between man and machines, technology and science. At the same time, the linguistic form of layering in the Astigmatism series was carried over in this series, while slicing up flat graphics, the work has endowed them with profoundness and depth. The programming thoughts that applied to modern computers came from the pattern weaving by looms, so there is also a subtle underlying relationship between the rational logic in silk and the geometric calculations in the work.
