視覺中的幾何，好比音樂裡的和聲，它能夠藉著基本的原則衍生出複雜且合諧的結構。其過程是按步就班，有跡可循的。如尺規作圖，在只需直尺與圓規的條件下，許多傳統的幾何藝術，如伊斯蘭的壁磚拼貼，印度的Yantra，及佛教的邊飾與部落圖騰，都能藉由如此簡單的工具來實現。『境』系列作品的發想，便是基於如此簡化的創作原則，與它所包涵的複雜空間所產生的對比。

『境』，也代表了個人的實驗。跨越出聲響的領域，嘗試不同的創作方式與媒材。程式碼是中性的，它可以用來表現聲響，也可以生成影像。藝術與創作亦復如此，它可以是數位的，類比的，實體的，抽象的，和諧的，震撼的...。某方面而言，藝術創作所代表的也許是一種生活態度的探索，也許是一種純粹精神的修煉，重要的是本質的追尋，其方法與形式則是次要的。

本次展出，我以圓曲的曼陀羅與方正的萬字紋作為『境』系列的基本元素，它們本身各具圖形特徵與抽象意義，我試著以動態影像和靜態圖畫兩種創作，結合聲響作品的播放，藉由變化多樣的視覺版本，同時演繹這兩者之間由形式懸殊、屬性對立到互相過渡轉換，乃至融合一體無礙的多重境界和無限可能。 Complex patterns can emerge from simple geometrical procedures, resulting in structures that may be wonderfully intricate and harmonious. Taking compass and straightedge construction as an example, through the use of only lines and circles, it is capable of producing many traditional designs such as Islamic tiling, Indian Yantras, Buddhist decorative art and tribal patterns. Fascinated by the simplicity in the methodology, and the implicit complex space it occupies, "state_void()" was set in motion.

"state_void()" also represents an experimentation at a more personal level. Through attempting the unfamiliar, art making becomes the pursuit for a state of mind, rather thAn exercising specific techniques in A particular discipline. Thus, art, just like life, becomes all encompassing.

Mandala and Sayagata (interlocking swastika) were the main motif in the making of "state_void()". Apart from the their spiritual implications, they also metaphorically represent the most basic forms in geometry: circle(symmetry design) and line(tiling pattern).
