This video work centers on the concept of “the boundary between simulation and reality,” delving deeply into how technology in the digital age reshapes our cognition, memory, and existence. The piece begins with the selectivity and oblivion inherent in simulation, revealing which memories are preserved and which are silently erased in an information world dominated by algorithms and databases. By revisiting the history of models—from ancient sand tables and armillary spheres to modern deep learning and generative networks—it illustrates how human cognition has become increasingly technologized, with models evolving from tools for explaining reality to forces that create and define new possibilities. The video incorporates experiences of “metagaming” and “hyperreality,” allowing viewers to be both participants in virtual worlds and observers of real-world rules, thus experiencing the fluidity and reconstruction of identity and norms. The work emphasizes how media and algorithms, as carriers of power, subtly influence social structures and individual thinking through symbols, procedural rhetoric, and interactive mechanisms. As AI emerges as a new medium, artistic creation faces a crisis of subjectivity; the piece invites viewers to reflect on how the meaning and boundaries of art may change in a future where AI and humans coexist. Ultimately, the video returns to a philosophical inquiry into the relationship between technology and humanity, encouraging the audience to reconsider how, in a world dominated by algorithms, the integration of art and technology can help us redefine ourselves and our future.

本影像作品以“模拟与现实的边界”为核心概念，深度探讨数字时代下技术如何重塑我们的认知、记忆与存在。作品从模拟的选择性与遗忘切入，揭示在算法与数据库主导的信息世界中，哪些记忆被保存、哪些被无声抹去。通过对模型历史的回顾，从古代沙盘、天体仪到现代深度学习与生成网络，展现人类认知如何逐步技术化，模型不再只是解释现实的工具，更成为创造与定义现实可能性的力量。影像中融入“元游戏”与“超现实”体验，观众既是虚拟世界的体验者，也是现实规则的观察者，感受身份与规则的流动与重构。作品强调媒介与算法作为权力载体，如何通过符号、程序性修辞和交互机制，悄然影响社会结构与个体思维。随着AI成为新媒介，艺术创作面临主体性危机，作品邀请观众思考在AI与人类共生的未来，艺术的意义与边界将如何变化。最终，影像回归技术与人类关系的哲学追问，鼓励观众反思在算法主导的世界中，如何通过艺术与技术的结合，重新定义自我与未来。
