BUNUM

作品賞析

TU Wei-Cheng has been creating this Bunum Civilization with cement, gypsum, earth, and artificial stone since 2000. BUNUM consists of 6 artificial hand-made square stones, carved in the shapes of calculator, mobile phone, mouse, card readers, video game handles, and other technological objects. The stone surfaces were engraved with garbled text converted from the photo, which deliberately made them seem incomplete, dusty, and worn just as how historical relics are when excavated. This piece is based on TU Wei-Cheng’s observation of information civilization and life, these objects resembling artifacts that can control the virtual world.
