Watch Master and Servant
Master and Servant 主與僕
Wood, fish tank, brass rods, brush, sand, motor, & motion sensor   113(H) x 16(W) x 20(D), 2003     
 
主人幾十年來每天不停在街上寫字,寫的是國土的主權,身份的確認。
僕人幾十年來也從無間斷服侍主人,把主人寫在街上的錯字一一抹走。
 

The master writes continuously on the street for many decades, he wrote about the sovereignty of the land, the recognition of identity. The servant also serves her master faithfully for decades, wiping away all the mistakes her master made. This work is about Tsang Tsou Choi the King of Kowloon and I picked up on the idea of how his ink calligraphy appears and disappears in the city. Eventually I arrived at this idea of creating a drawing machine that is drawing and wiping away at the same time. The machine is on sensor and would only operate when the viewer is standing in front of the work.

How To Make a Happy Face?如何做一個開心樣?
A 1 minute video work done during the SARS period in Hong Kong, May 2003 

When everyone are wearing face masks,Their nose, mouth, and smile are gone.I tried many different experiments in the past two months,Finally discovered this image very effective.Not only the nose and mouth are back,Everybody starts to smile again. 

當街上的人都帶上口罩,他們的鼻子,咀巴,和笑容都消失了。我在過去兩個月經不停實驗,終發現此圖象十分有效,不單鼻子和咀巴也回來了,
連身邊的人都再開始歡笑。
