陈米的猜想 Lost in Wonderland
/ Visual Novel Game / 

Creative Director, Graphic Designer

Lost In Wonderland is the first visual novel game produced by Exitall Studio. It depicts
a young girl Chen Mi’s journey to explore and find answers in the wonderlands of lost
of her 22-year-old.

The game was born out of the "virtual travel" series of electronic collages made by Chen
Mi and Zhang Shan because they were unable to see each other during the COVID-19
pandemic. The surreal virtual scenes collaged from digital images in the game, as well as
the characters photographed by the two in Shanghai and New York respectively, are an
exploration of multimedia art in the era of the pandemic. They are also a combination and
reconstruction of the real dilemmas of the 22-year-old and a digital virtual world.

The game is only available in Chinese at the moment. English version coming soon!

透过裂隙 Through the Crevice
/ Editorial Design, Illustration, C4D / 

Our early experiences with our family-of-origin have a major influence on how we see
ourselves, others, and the world, and how we behave in our daily lives. However, the
influence can sometimes be toxic and negatively affect who we are when we grow up.

Through the Crevice is a book comprised of transcriptions from an interview-based
video that collects four people’s traumatic experiences with their family and how they
impact their adulthood, and documentation of a virtual exhibition — a reproduction of
my childhood home that displays the artworks inspired by my own traumatic family
memories. The artworks are placed in the rooms where specific incidents took place in
order to restore the authenticity of memories, while the furniture inside the exhibition
is left without materiality and color with the intention of creating an obscure and cold,
yet familiar environment. The recollections behind each piece are hidden inside the
folded pages of the book. By tearing them open, readers encounter the personal narra-
tives of the traumatic incidents.

This project is a personal exploration of traumatic memories through various situations
in which family brings negative influence on us that might seem subtle and invisible,
aiming to alert the audiences who find themselves in similar situations, no matter the role
they play in their family — parents or child.

/ Archive, Editorial Design / 

Starting with a few common art supplies, artists can create a countless amount of
shapes and patterns which can be combined together that results in another piece
of art. Theoretically, the action of creating something new based on existing art-
works can be repeated infinitely.

This project is separated into four stages with each stage presenting artifacts created
from the previous stage. The artworks are created through different techniques, includ-
ing hand-drawn, digital subtraction, and Risograph printing methods. This collection
showcases a tiny fraction of infinite possibilities.
