The piece comprises three components: video, data, and light installations. The voice-over is a legend about why Taiwan's indigenous peoples came to the island. In this work, the artist aimed to reflect the narrative through data and lighting installations. The lighting installation in the video is a mixture, symbolising betel nuts and mythical monsters. Its green light may induce visual hallucinations, allowing viewers to see a non-existent magenta colour. This aims to portray an exception state on a conscious level.

Mao Yo-Wen, born in 1989, is a visual artist and director based in Taipei, Taiwan. His works explore memory, sensation, and alternative narratives beyond rationality. Through reimagining, reconsidering, and re-establishing seemingly disjointed relationships, he intricately weaves reality and fantasy, history and the present, in a poetic manner.

Delo je sestavljeno iz treh komponent: videa, podatkov in svetlobnih instalacij. Glas v posnetku pripoveduje legendo o tem, zakaj so tajvanska domorodna ljudstva prišla na otok. Umetnik je v tem delu je želel reflektirati pripoved skozi podatke in svetlobne instalacije. Svetlobna instalacija v videu je spoj, ki simbolizira betelove orehe in mitske pošasti. Njena zelena svetloba lahko povzroči vizualne halucinacije, kar gledalstvu omogoči, da vidijo neobstoječo vijolično barvo. Namen tega je prikazati stanje izjemnosti na ravni zavesti.

Mao Yo-Wen, rojen leta 1989, je vizualni umetnik in režiser. Živi v Tajpeju na Tajvanu. Njegova dela raziskujejo spomin, občutke in alternativne naracije onkraj racionalnosti. S ponovnim zamišljanjem, ponovnim premislekom in preoblikovanjem navidezno nepovezanih odnosov na poetičen način prepleta stvarnost in fantazijo, zgodovino in sedanjost.
