The works on display are based on my research and understanding of Nijigen subculture from the perspective of self-analysis. Illusory Utopia is showing the third project in this series.<br \/>\nA mechanical installation that explores the constant flowing emotional tension between virtual and reality worlds, invites the audience to cross the boundary formed by the interweaving of reality and virtuality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-lg-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Jiayan Chen<\/strong> (b.1998) graduated with BA degree in Experimental Art from the Central Academy of Fine Art,China.
