The Artist Statement
I used the 3D model of the “SimCity” PC game as a base and printed 3D objects. Then I reassembled these objects into the shape of Taiwan. In the game, it seems that each district has its own regulations and restrictions. Residential district are adjacent to business district, and industrial district are far away. I used this design principle to reconfigure the object arrangement of different area and compare it with real location to configure it in the shape of Taiwan. Through the mutual reflection between models, our imagination of the city seems so pale and strange.
