Artist/s statement

My practice explores the concept of blended reality which underpins our contemporary experience. It shows how we have influenced our perception of space and place through geospatial technologies such as Google Maps. As part of my art practice, I have explored the areas of Sydney by using mobile and computerised technology. It gives local historical sources of the change and the way of life in the past. Especially, it features various architectural styles from different countries and cultures from the late 19th and early 20th centuries to the present. The uniqueness came out from this accumulated cultures and the passage of time in space. This could be the most important element of Australiana that cannot be seen in the world. Therefore, I create aerial views using line drawings and painting on aluminium for the physical or ‘real’ representation. Scratch holograms are then superimposed to represent ‘virtual’ reality.
