RISE UP: O.R.B FOR 2025
24 / Jan，2025

O.R.B is the main body of “Project Ouroboros (ORB for short)”, a self-created project centered around the Chinese Lunar New Year of Yisi, with O.R.B as the main conceptual product.


 Ouroboros stands for “self-reference” and “self-reference” in metaphysical interpretation, and is a recognized image or metaphor for autopoietic algorithms, highly consistent with the laws of biological coding (highly self-replicating nucleic acid sequences). Inspired by Ouroboros, we referenced the artistic language of 20th century American sculptor Tony Smith, resulting in the idea of a prototype self-recycling structure, characterized by geometric spiral units, while each component is completely self-similar.

Atelier 2M2

Atelier 2M2 is essentially a “skeptic.” In their context, the “self” has also become the “other,” an “object” that needs to be calmly “observed.” At the same time, in order to verify the uncertain cognition of the “realistic utopia,” they created a series of objects of justification with different personalities and positions (in commissioned projects or independent creations). The objective (non-subjective) justification of these objects further intensifies their skeptical stance.
