Description
In this installation / action art, the surface of a room (doors and walls in particular) is decorated with icons of digits ("1" "2" "3" for examples) as well as signs of math ("x" for instance). The room is illuminated by a series of LED lights (in resemblance to the Christmas light). Inside the room, many people are crowed before a pile of CD albums, seeming to review them and potentially to purchase them. The artwork, especially the participatory part, is likely to represent the exportation of musical culture from Hong Kong and Taiwan into inner-land China in the late 20th century.
