The kitchen, as a corner of home life, not only meets our basic survival needs but also resembles a constantly running production line, executing fixed routines day after day to produce food and life’s necessities. While this production line appears stable and orderly, it also subtly reveals our relationship with the material world, the intertwining of emotions, and the unconscious rituals of everyday life.

As the central operators in the kitchen and the consumers in the next stage, we form a self-contained cycle. What we cook deviates from reality and explores the indescribable.

In this absurd kitchen, the ordinary becomes dissonant, forcing us to confront life’s paradoxes and, in uncontrollable scenarios, slowly digest the hidden anxieties lurking within the mundane.

The exhibition “Browser vs. Emotional Imaging” explores the intersection of emotional concretization and digital reality, capturing contemporary individuals' inner dialogue between the virtual and the real. Li Bing-Ao, with a unique perspective, skillfully employs social media and digital symbols to reveal the ordinary yet fragmented scenes of life in the digital age. His works act as a mirror, reflecting the digital anxieties and fleeting moments of disconnection that modern individuals face. The visual elements, like fragments, create a fast-paced, unstable reality, narrating fragments of life, emotional disconnections, and virtual identities. Li invites viewers to reconsider these often-overlooked digital traces through his art, challenging preconceived boundaries between reality and the virtual.

In dialogue with Li’s works is Wang Tung-Shuo, who uses a more introspective artistic language, transforming his emotions and abstract feelings into tangible art. On his canvases, emotions are no longer a vague inner world but take on concrete forms visible to the audience. Wang emphasizes texture and color, portraying the complexity and contradictions within deep emotions. These artworks are not just art pieces; they are the embodiment of emotions and the writing of the soul. Viewers can sense an emotional force as if touching the artist’s inner depths and finding their emotional resonance within the abstract expressions.

This exhibition is not only an exploration of the convergence of emotions and digital reality but also a profound dialogue between the inner self and technology, highlighting the reshaping and representation of individual emotions in the digital era. It guides viewers into a dual realm of perception and reflection. At its core, the exhibition showcases the complex relationship between inner emotions and digital technology, challenging viewers’ preconceptions of the boundary between the real and the virtual. In Li Bing-Ao’s works, digital elements become carriers of memory, symbolizing fragments of modern life and intangible emotions. Meanwhile, Wang Tung-Shuo transforms his inner emotional world into a tangible visual language, aiming to establish an emotional resonance between the abstract and the concrete. This artistic practice not only exposes the emotional vulnerability of the digital age but also reflects the ambiguity and pursuit of self-emotional positioning amid rapid technological changes.

The exhibition “Browser vs. Emotional Imaging” is more than a representation of emotions and digital reality—it is an in-depth inquiry into how human experiences are reshaped in the digital era. Through the dialogue between Li Bing-Ao and Wang Tung-Shuo, the exhibition consistently emphasizes the coexistence and conversation between emotions and the digital age. It calls on viewers not only to see but to feel and reflect on this contradictory era and to find their connection between themselves and the digital world within these artistic presentations. This is a journey of exploration into emotions, the digital, and the human condition, inviting each viewer to find their place within it.
