Let's find the "lost" from the "remaining" .The disappearance of "old markets" stems from the shift in "demand"; people are looking forward to rekindling ancient traditions and intimate relationships in a "new, futuristic" way. Artists present the "new modern" through three futuristic visual artworks: 《Yelling Gate》,《Signboard Cyber》and 《Once Upon a Fountain》.
《Yelling Gate》 transforms the traditional market's cries in a digital way; 《Signboard Cyber》blends cyberpunk visuals with ancient signboards, symbolizing that in the future, both signboards and stores will increase; 《Once Upon a Fountain》 sees the historically forgotten fountains, co-creating with local people, using art to envision the multiverse possibilities of the "West Market."

FakeFire Atelier
"The light of fireflies is beautiful, but it is not real flame." Art is about creating illusory objects, yet trying to glimpse a thread of reality within the illusion. FakeFire Atelier aims to evoke emotions in a way that makes everyone see this magic as truly existing; relying on extensive research, combined with the artist's personality and sensibility, to create a vast and unique "Heterotopias." Once viewers step in, they can instantly "transcend the everyday" and perhaps see a "reality" from another dimension.

The everyday is a prison, bringing numbness, rigidity, and extreme comfort; thus, we almost madly seek the existence of the 'extraordinary'—art.
