Chinese artist Yu-Yang Wang takes short excerpts from texts and converts them into a sequence of 0’s and 1’s. He then uses 3ds Max and Painter to create a three-dimensional model. These words determine not only the shape but also the size, material, and color of the sculptures.

This ongoing process of transformation is the artist’s way of exploring art in today’s digital age. Audiences often try to understand a work through the appearance and name of the piece. However, once they learn about the source text, a whole new level of understanding is established as viewers begin to draw connections between the words and the image. This new awareness encourages us to let go of established modes of thinking and to open the door to the infinite possibilities our minds can reach.
