Funny Sandwich, Straight Maze Corridor C, 2022. Application/x-directory. Edition of 5 + 1AP.

No bifurcation, no return, no choice, going forward is the only way.

In these three spaces, which vary in size and lightness, the artist presents videos from the audience's viewpoint that go infinitely deeper into the screen, guiding them into a virtual maze with no end in sight, where the viewers can’t tell day from night, can’t change direction at will, and can simply follow the only way to keep going forward, creating a hypnotising effect and a sense of oppression as if pushed by time.

[Easter Egg] Press 'i' to view information, and a pointer will appear in the distance of the work, drawing the outline of the space clockwise.

Funny Sandwich studied new media art at Taipei National University of the Arts (2022). ‘Funny’ sounds similar as ‘pineapple’ (feng li) in Chinese, whilst ‘sandwich’ represents cross-domain integration; when combined as a brand name, it symbolizes how the artist aims to create interesting works unrestricted by themes. ‘I hope to make creations that fit this era the most by presenting my most authentic feeling of the present through my works.’ Selected exhibitions include: ‘No Filler,’ Soka Art, Tainan (2022); ‘Where Is My House,’ akaSwap (2021); ‘Digital Art Festival Taipei: Borderless Shelter,’ Digital Art Center, Taipei (2021); ‘IN-Site Exhibition: Ambiguous Atmosphere,’ Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei (2019).
