Error Currency
2023

3d Animated video

Runtime:

​

"Error Currency" is a highly visually impactful and critical 3D animated video artwork. It uses the currency symbol (a one-hundred-dollar bill) as a canvas, incorporating a series of contemporary social issues such as consumer culture, addiction, false promises, and information overload. This creates a scene of Digital Surrealism that is both absurd and unsettling.

​

The visual core of the work is a distorted banknote saturated with digital "Errors" and "Glitches." The artist does not simply imitate or replicate but utilizes 3D technology and cyberpunk aesthetics to transform the bill into a battlefield of information and desire.

Man, I love chewing gum!

All flavors, I like to chew two at a time,

Sometimes three,

Chewing gets me excited!

Every time I start chewing, the dopamine bursts the energy it's supposed to give me,

I also really like sugar-free gum,

All flavors, I like to chew five at a time,

Sometimes I chew eight,

But then I found that every time I finished chewing,

I had to go to the toilet…

This feels terrible,

I'm starting to hate chewing gum!

Three at a time,

Two at a time,

One at a time,

It didn't take me too long…

Quitting chewing gum is so easy!

But when the dopamine started to fade, my life became empty and boring again.

I started smoking again!

One， Two， Three，

A pack， Two packs， Three packs，

Oh man, I love cigarettes！

I have been smoking since childhood,

But when my teeth started to turn yellow and my lungs started to turn black,

I decided to try to quit smoking!

I chew gum again, nicotine gum!

One gum, Two gum, Three gum,

Three packs! Two packs! One pack!!!

Now I only smoke one pack a day and eat three packs of nicotine gum.

Thanks to modern technology, I have found a delicate balance in my life.

What a wonderful life!
