Rouxi Pan (she/her)
I am an interior designer & 3D Artist. I like to use 3D art in combination with space to create surreal experiential spaces, focusing on the narrative expression of space. My work is often based on interior design but is not limited to traditional perceptions of space, using bold design methods to express deeper topics while meeting the actual build, but also emphasising the playfulness of space and human interaction. I believe that space is fluid, alive and can be interesting, and I like to combine different disciplines and technical means to express the language of space.
DIGITAL LEGACY — I WISH I COULD DIE
The design of the project is based on the topic of digital legacy, using the expression of virtual space to visualize the accumulation of digital legacy and the monitory by surveillance capitalism, challenging how to translate people’s behaviour on the internet into spatial forms. It also discusses personal data that we are not usually aware of and the issue of its privacy and the relationship between controlling and being controlled. I liken the attraction of the internet to people’s dependence on sugar, imagining a virtual sugar world after death using my own behaviour in the digital world as an example. Different types of spaces and materials are used to express the privacy and publicness and traceability of information. The project as a whole visually maps the online world with a gorgeous and colourful candy world, expressing the digital hegemony of surveillance capitalism and the beautiful emptiness behind the information explosion. It invites people to think about their digital legacy and the existence of individuals in both the virtual and physical worlds.
