Experiment & Attempt
The different tables represent the perceived identities of different groups in different contexts and stages.
During this week, I conducted 4 visual attempts centred on the "Application scenarios" corresponding to the "LIFE FORMS" and the "TYPE OF CHOOSING ANSWER". I also explored the concepts behind them and the extension of the phenomenon.
Last Week Tutor‘s Feedback
-
1. Searching for more deeper connection between my personal thought and the objective theme. - Start with some test for myself, find out more.
2. Thinking further about the deeper background behind these "forms" in relation to contemporary anxieties.

Personality/IQ Test - The format/content of the various personality/IQ tests - how they combine questions to derive different answers to assess different personality/IQ types
I collected 4-5 forms corresponding to various life stages and life scenarios.
I chose top-view drawings of those interior space as the base visualisation, in order to get a sense of looking at it from the judging position. And matching each scenario to the forms. The general view of the rendered scenarios is more like "answers", like "I'm looking at and fast-forwarding through my whole life", and "this is the answer to the corresponding output in this environment".
life is about walking in different restrictive spaces, we always think that we can't go wrong by running the trajectory of our life within a fixed range, and we think the same way when we fill out a form.
The environment of our daily activities is a kind of table/form.

In addition to the matching visual experiments, I also tried to use duplicate tracing paper to record visuals of the layout of the words (answers) after removing the grid, which appeared to be invisibly bound within the regular grid system (The visual format is similar to the stressful life choices I mentioned).
In addition to paper, there are also many electronic media " blanks ".
Social media homepages, chat boxes, phone books, emails, design software interfaces, memos, PowerPoint, etc. These online "forms" and "systems" can also exist as mere forms, and after removing the content all that is left is the visual residue of flashbacks. I have extracted the visual aspects of these platforms and made different attempts.
Mask the initial letter word
Back in the day when we were students, our teachers used to cut holes in the paper for the correct answers when they were manually marking the answer key and this answer sheet would then become a template and when they were marking it they would mask this on the candidate's answer sheet to quickly see if they had scribbled the correct answer for the option.
the word “WORK” - maybe is Win, Ocean, Rose, Kite
Such initials can be synthesised into a word, but lifting the cover reveals that every word underneath has nothing to do with the word formed by the initials.
I'm trying to show in this way that "the answers/specific decisions you write” will influence your life are not necessarily what you think they are, so relax.
Embodiment: we are often forced to correct our answers - our lives are interfered with by the larger external environment.
It is also a form of bondage Is bondage an invisible grid or a cover?
We always like to define our known state, which is also a source of anxiety
Work - must be repetitive, boring, no freedom, great stress.
Games - must be playful, virtual, meaningless, and dark.
Gap - it must be purposeless and questionable.
Investment - it must be a failure, a failure to make ends meet, a success for the few.
This surface-overlay relationship can also be used to show what is meant in attempt4. "What you see is not all there is."
