Combining diasporic literature, spatial theory, and affective design, the project visualizes both the authors’ lived geographies and the spatial settings found in their literary works to explore themes of displacement, memory, and identity. These narrative motifs are transformed into poetic “data flowers” using methods like temporal juxtaposition and color- time flattening. Presented as an installation, the artwork invites interpretive engagement and demonstrates how visualizing narra- tive geographies reveals emotional patterns in diasporic literary creativity. 本文介绍了“南来之花”，这是一个数据驱动的可视化项目，它描绘了香港南下文人的空间叙事。结合流散文学，空间理论和情感设计，该项目将作者的生活地理和他们文学作品中的空间设置可视化，以探索流离失所，记忆和身份的主题。这些叙事母题通过时间并置、色时间扁平化等手法转化为诗意的“数据之花”。作为一件装置作品，该作品邀请了解释性的参与，并展示了视觉化的叙事地理如何揭示流散文学创作中的情感模式。narrative visualization, literary geography, digital humanities，cultural identity, geospatial narrative, media arts叙事可视化、文学地理学、数字人文、文化认同、地理空间叙事、媒体艺术—SIGGRAPH Aisa 2025—National Exhibitions of Fine Arts —5th Young Artists Exhibition, City Light Art, Museum Shenzhen —The 11th China Conference on Visualization and Visual Analytics Art Exhibition —Hong Kong Literature House “Writings of Southern Writers - Entering the Literary Time Scrolls” Exhibition—The 4th Aranya Theater Festival—The 15th Zhejiang Province Art Exhibition <img width="2556" height="1586" width_o="2556" height_o="1586" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4dc22db706aca272f26783c8babea36dba56f07ed2ba65397b9d42c48f262ad4/2025-10-18-9.50.24.png" data-mid="244832410" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4dc22db706aca272f26783c8babea36dba56f07ed2ba65397b9d42c48f262ad4/2025-10-18-9.50.24.png" /> <img width="2000" height="10558" width_o="2000" height_o="10558" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4aad7401787049205adec71023e330a0d53e1aedb5bf38841b5388766c68a50b/.png" data-mid="244833520" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4aad7401787049205adec71023e330a0d53e1aedb5bf38841b5388766c68a50b/.png" /> https://yuanzhangcom.cargo.site/RETURN-TO-THE-NORTH-VIRTUAL-ARCHAOLOGY-OF-ELECTRONIC-ORBITS Sun, 15 Feb 2026 03:03:46 +0000 yuanzhang.com https://yuanzhangcom.cargo.site/RETURN-TO-THE-NORTH-VIRTUAL-ARCHAOLOGY-OF-ELECTRONIC-ORBITS RETURN TO THE NORTH：VIRTUAL ARCHAOLOGY OF ELECTRONIC ORBITS 2025- Collective Memory &nbsp; Return to the North: Virtual Archaeology of Electronic Orbits is a 6DoF XR interactive narrative set in post-industrial railway cities in northern China.

We assemble public media footage, personal archives, printed at- lases, handheld LiDAR scans, and photogrammetric captures into a traversable layered space using SfM/MVS and 3D Gaussian Splat- ting (3DGS) for real-time rendering. A provenance-preserving strategy keeps differences in era, resolution, and context perceptible as volumetric fault lines, ghosting, captions, and seams—forming what we call a Digital Volumetric Layering aesthetic.

The Sequence from Known to Unknown" is the contemporary art section of the new museum. Under the title of "Ito", the exhibition is based on one of the key symbols of Suzhou, the silk, and a more microscopic perspective than silk, and brings together four renowned contemporary artists from China, Xu Bing, Shi Hui, Cao Fei and Wang Zhigang. "Mi" as the title. "mi"(糸) is half of "si"(絲, silk) in the font, which refers to thin silk, and means "tiny". In modern life, there are few chances for this character to appear alone, but it is the component of many commonly used Chinese characters. The Chinese characters with "mi" as radical are mostly related to silk, hemp and rope, such as "zhi" (织, knitting), "zu" (组, forming), "ji" (纪, discipline), and "gang" (纲, link). This form of character creation is the epitome of many complex things. It is precisely many such tiny forces that gradually produce the complex and diverse history of civilization, by means of the repetition and superposition of organization modes and time. The conception of the exhibition starts from microscopic view. Through the translation of art and technology, some unique inter-textual relations are established, and a communication system that can be perceived and extended is presented. The oracle bone script font of "mi" is " ", which looks like a twisted silk flock. When considering the English title corresponding to "Mi", we did not adopt literal translation, but echoed the infinite possibilities created by the repetition and superposition of "mi", that is, "infinity". More interestingly, "∞", the symbol in mathematics which represents "infinite" , is like the oracle bone script font of "mi" rotated 90 degrees. The subtitle "The Sequence from Known to Unknown" is an interweaving process of various elements, and the past entangle with the present-based future.

These structures symbolize celestial harmony, social hierarchy, and ritualistic importance, while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship in wooden joinery. Despite their cultural significance, Zaojing ceilings remain under-documented in architectural heritage studies. This project presents Houses of Heaven, an immersive digital art installation that reconstructs and reinterprets Zaojing through high-fidelity 3D scanning, photogrammetry, and CGI-enhanced storytelling. Hosted in a CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment), the multi-screen projection space envelops the audience in a cinematic journey through the historical development of Zaojing structures, their changing design principles, and the cultural narratives reflected by them. The immersive experience integrates historical imagery, computationally reconstructed 3D models, and symbolic visual storytelling to depict Zaojing craftsmanship, the cosmological significance of these structures, and their role in architectural heritage. 中国古代寺庙、宫殿和戏台中常见的木结构天花板，被称为“藻井”。这些结构象征着天地和谐、社会等级和宗教仪式的重要性，同时也展现了精湛的木工技艺。尽管藻井具有重要的文化意义，但在建筑遗产研究中，其相关记载却相对匮乏。本项目呈现的沉浸式数字艺术装置“藻井”运用高保真三维扫描、摄影测量和计算机生成的图像增强技术，对藻井进行重构和重新诠释。该装置位于一个“洞穴式自动虚拟环境”（CAVE）中，多屏投影空间将观众带入一场电影般的旅程，带领他们探索藻井结构的历史发展、其不断变化的设计原则以及所反映的文化叙事。沉浸式体验融合了历史图像、计算机重建的3D模型和象征性的视觉叙事，展现了造京工艺、这些建筑的宇宙学意义及其在建筑史上的作用。中国藻井（藻井）是古代中国寺庙、宫殿及剧院中常见的精巧雕塑天花系统。这些结构象征着天人和谐、社会等级与仪式，同时开展了木工榫卯工艺的非凡技能。虽然具有未来的文化意，藻井在建筑研究中仍缺乏系统性记录。本次呈现项目的《穹天宇宇》沉浸数字艺术装置，通过三维扫描、摄影测量与CGI增强叙事。该装置运用于CAVE（洞穴式自动虚拟环境）多屏投影空间，引导观众踏上穿越藻井结构历史转型的电影式旅程，见证其设计理念的演进与所融合的文化影像叙事。沉浸式体验历史、计算重建的3D模型及象征性视觉再现，引导观众巡视藻井工艺的精髓、宇宙论以及在建筑遗产中的独特价值。Chinese Caisson Ceiling (Zao Jing) | 3D Digital Documentation | Architectural Heritage 中国藻井| 3D数字文档|建筑遗产 —Beijing Culture and Arts Foundation—Top Ten Ultra-HD Audio-Visual Innovation Application Scenarios in Beijing <img width="2282" height="1068" width_o="2282" height_o="1068" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e96bc6f6bd54cded0eef672b3ef9b2bea9b66fda5b1432930dc5a2b8cccba4b6/2026-02-14-9.30.59.png" data-mid="244816553" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e96bc6f6bd54cded0eef672b3ef9b2bea9b66fda5b1432930dc5a2b8cccba4b6/2026-02-14-9.30.59.png" /> <img width="466" height="66" width_o="466" height_o="66" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a5a428df2a58a1d307fdd0c7dfa51d65570f10139ad8d60b5e265f1dda0e0a37/2026-02-14-9.21.53.png" data-mid="244835888" border="0" data-scale="16" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/466/i/a5a428df2a58a1d307fdd0c7dfa51d65570f10139ad8d60b5e265f1dda0e0a37/2026-02-14-9.21.53.png" /> Zaojing (Ceiling) is an important decorative element in ancient Chinese architecture, located at the center of dome structures. As an integral component of architectural rituals, it emphasizes the significance of the interior space, making it a key feature in ancient buildings. Ancient people created building vents in the shape of a water well, carved with algae patterns – believing that water and fire would restrain each other to ensure safety. At the same time, the structure of the Zaojing – which includes circles and squares – corresponds to the cosmological concept of "round heaven and square earth". Therefore, the Zaojing symbolizes "heaven". <img width="204" height="94" width_o="204" height_o="94" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/af02dee1c234e760048ea597db716c39ad687f3dfc871a6a551124481733d001/2026-02-14-9.21.57.png" data-mid="244835776" border="0" data-scale="7" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/204/i/af02dee1c234e760048ea597db716c39ad687f3dfc871a6a551124481733d001/2026-02-14-9.21.57.png" /> Our long-term objective is to establish a comprehensive database cataloguing Zaojing art to preserve this invaluable cultural heritage for future generations.

First of all, it is common to use a number of square and bow-shaped arches to build a well. arches are both decorative and indicators of architectural hierarchy, and the more noble the building, the more complex the arch structure is.The combination of mortise and tenon is the key to earthquake resistance. Ancient craftsmen precisely calculated where the centre of gravity was located and distributed the gravity through mortise and tenon to prolong the life of the zaojing. <img width="2480" height="1130" width_o="2480" height_o="1130" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bf44468c252bba67d069f6564023cb479a92173405453618d6b0d530fc47bf9d/2026-02-13-6.26.14.png" data-mid="244787716" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bf44468c252bba67d069f6564023cb479a92173405453618d6b0d530fc47bf9d/2026-02-13-6.26.14.png" /> <img width="5197" height="2362" width_o="5197" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cf55a9f4d56d5df7cd91f1d9856dd4f24ca3e1c10fb3cf31f6aa1f02df37a0d7/web.png" data-mid="244838493" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cf55a9f4d56d5df7cd91f1d9856dd4f24ca3e1c10fb3cf31f6aa1f02df37a0d7/web.png" /> The intricate Song-style Zaojing (Ceiling) described in the Yingzao Fashi营造法式(Treatise on Architectural Methods). <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/50142d9d749aed0f49a52036e6f76917a3d569ca03775f2c1d685c0712e89afb/IMG_0523.jpg" data-mid="244786960" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/50142d9d749aed0f49a52036e6f76917a3d569ca03775f2c1d685c0712e89afb/IMG_0523.jpg" /> <img width="2602" height="1296" width_o="2602" height_o="1296" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/529a0c1981b373cdd753a541ebd8620435544975d8f0f2be671d58127ebd9da9/2026-02-14-9.44.00.png" data-mid="244816686" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/529a0c1981b373cdd753a541ebd8620435544975d8f0f2be671d58127ebd9da9/2026-02-14-9.44.00.png" /> <img width="2612" height="1262" width_o="2612" height_o="1262" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ad693539d79947185cb11e07b3882ea7dfaf201d9f4ef48acfaad8bca1168ad9/2026-02-14-9.44.10.png" data-mid="244816683" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ad693539d79947185cb11e07b3882ea7dfaf201d9f4ef48acfaad8bca1168ad9/2026-02-14-9.44.10.png" /> <img width="2394" height="1778" width_o="2394" height_o="1778" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a21c8343dceeb5ce20c2083743685ca5a5592b4b29124ac5b948c25b7c315693/2026-02-13-6.16.52.png" data-mid="244788287" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a21c8343dceeb5ce20c2083743685ca5a5592b4b29124ac5b948c25b7c315693/2026-02-13-6.16.52.png" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/edc712043ae29a4e49ed3ed843e4ef8179de3d6608cbee923ebaa0ddd6253c38/IMG_0525.jpg" data-mid="244788122" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/edc712043ae29a4e49ed3ed843e4ef8179de3d6608cbee923ebaa0ddd6253c38/IMG_0525.jpg" /> &nbsp; https://yuanzhangcom.cargo.site/BEAMS-AND-PILLARS Sun, 15 Feb 2026 09:19:14 +0000 yuanzhang.com https://yuanzhangcom.cargo.site/BEAMS-AND-PILLARS BEAMS AND PILLARS 2025 Digital ritual &amp; the presence of architectural heritage My Role: Project Lead, responsible for all visual design, video production, on-site technical testing, and coordination with CCTV for presentation materials.
