Through the deconstruction of images, painting theory, virtual technology, digitization, and other elements, Jieyuan Huang directs visual viewing to the complex image field and virtual perception world. In recent video practice, the artist's work has performed anatomical image analysis of the new visual machines that are continually being produced. A large number of image fragments, such as industrial video material, network images, and images generated by virtual technology, are "written" into the Image Field, and viewing is transformed into verification of visual coding. Whether it is an image in the current context or a historically forgotten image, an exquisite commercial image, or an inferior and outdated image, the artist has launched issues such as identity through archeology and rearrangement of the image visual power, consumption, cross-cultural issues.

Reassembling Painting - Black Box

This project is the result of cross-disciplinary research by artists in the fields of painting and technology. This work uses 3D scenes generated by CG to construct a virtual ruin scene. The artist deconstructs many painting-related elements and dramatically presents them. The artist places the painting in the post-human context, combined with the visual technology system of the post-human society. The painting elements are reshaped, the painting object is reconstructed into a digital visual element at this time, and the entire visual system is constructed in virtual In the 3D world. The intervention of the painting context makes the work not only confined to virtual vision. Different images in the video broaden the extended meaning of the picture. The work also refers to the authority of art, the global impact of the Internet, image archiving, and mysticism in technology. The structure of the video represents the artist's Image Field concept to create an open image viewing field in the image. The image and image form an organic connection, and the historical material in the painting context is placed in the strong tension between virtual and reality. Based on this concept, the artist created a dual-screen version for this project. Multiple screens don't just mean more pixels. It's an expendable field. In order to hold more images, it can even become endless.
