作品探討在訊息充斥的數位環境中，人類面對壯碩無盡的訊息洪流，無意識間接收訊息，並有意識的對訊息的產生之焦慮感狀態。網路上系統自動抓取之即時新聞影像，在前方螢幕中層疊形成幻影飛逝，新聞訊息轉換之語音從四方傳出。現場參與者之影像被攝並再現於螢幕中之虛擬世界。以手電筒為互動控制介面，當光線照射影像時，影像被放大並清晰顯示，新聞訊息則被清晰唸出。然而當模糊影像不斷飛入，影像不斷的被放大與清晰，文字訊息也不斷的被唸出，形成多層次的影像圖層與聲音呈現，觀者仍然無法清楚辨識新聞訊息的內容，無法掌握訊息的意義。此混雜的訊息閱讀過程，所呈現的感知是模糊與不可知的混雜不確定感。
．
此狀態是一種無法以現象知覺解釋的感知現象，對於不可知的那一端，此端存在的我，在沒有真實顯現的視覺表象中，相信不顯現的虛擬存在。此透過科技媒體所產生的觀看，訊息與符碼在訊息的轉譯中，成為一種假象的存在。觀看者在瀏覽過程中，透過訊息的碎片，想像整體的存在，並在絢爛圖像與聲音交互刺激中，擁有自由的快感，遨遊於虛幻時空中的迷幻異想。

In Flow, we want to indicate a situation at which we face. People confront with the huge amount of information. Weconceive differently toward same information in a matter of opinion. We assume that we understand without question. But,how can we really firmly believe our cognition being correct. Do you really know the meanings behind the appearanceor just being caught in a condition of maze? We drift into the information flow to receive reality, however, what is reality.“Flow” offers a unique feeling to the audience. Using the flashlight, a completely new experience of viewing is gained.In the process of interaction facing the confused information, participants get an unpredictable controlling outcome andgo through a psychological moment.

The installation consists of a room connected to network, mounted video projections and a camera. Entering the exhibitionspace, the participants will be shot and transform into a mosaic figure. In the projection, the news photos flow out andblur. The content read out to the audience in mix. The participants are represented in the screen superimposing withnews images. The images of information from different geographical distribution and participants in the exhibition spaceshow a unity in the virtual world. The flashlight, as a metaphor of conductor, is an interactive tool. The flashlight lightsthe way to information. Participants can pick to view the photos and hear the narration clearly by waving the flashlight.Participants wave the light wobbling, the images and audio response to interaction right away cascaded. The images andaudio will appear layer by layer and compound with each other. Participants have the control power over those imagesand sound, but are not able to control the final appearance and catch the subject matter.
