（數碼錄象, 2002）
在恍惚的動搖裡／我只能繾綣躺下，才能
平伏那激烈的起伏／天旋地轉，我卻置身駭浪中……
(DV, 2002)
Every morning. i wake up with a parched dryness...
memories evaporate in every part of me
haphazardly, at such an intangible speed...

五十天周游不同國度，在攝錄機裡三十九個可用記憶裡，
記下了多少不盡平衡的情感，和，載不下更多似是而非的事情……

才發現，思想裡原來總有些根源……
'on the Tao' is a serial project in search of the 'Tao' of digital media. The 'Tao' is an influential Chinese philosophy found in traditional Chinese arts. It can be viewed as a way of tracing my cultural roots while applying these ideas to the up-and-coming art form that is digital media.

This aesthetic can be traced back to the influential writings of the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu (莊子) (369-286 BC) about 'Tao' (道), which literally means a way or path in Chinese and refers to a dialectic philosophy seeking 'oneness' with the great or eternal universe by forgetting our world of differences...
