In this project, I chose chess to represent the common memory of China and the West, because in the chess world, the chessboard is the whole world, and every step we take on the chessboard will change the direction of the development of the whole world. I created this painting in a game format that can interact with the audience. In this project, I explored the differences between Chinese and Western cultures, ethnic differences, and individual collective differences.

​

I am inspired by the work of an artist Susan Cianciolo who also is interested in making interactive artworks. And she creates a series of installation artworks like a parody of a clue game.  During the interaction with audiences and those artworks, It might feel familiar, but it’s only an outline, like viewing someone else’s memory.

​

Whereas, I hope my game will not end up with one answer like a clue game. I hope that this work's viewers will have more possibilities in this immersive memory game. Through interaction with the work, the viewer can get tremendous gains both visually and spiritually.
