Weimiao (Davis) SunRUSTY IN COCOON

---

In contemporary society, the relationship between individuals and groups is profoundly affected by information technology. When I communicate with others, I notice imbalances in the storage and sources of information. In this context, I was inspired to express the subtle and complex relationship between individuals and groups, paying special attention to social homogeneity and the plight of information cocoons. The motivation for this project is to deeply analyze the phenomenon of homogeneous individual rust and how to reveal the deep connotation of this problem through artistic expression. How individuals become rusty, lose their innovativeness, and stagnate under the pressure of social homogeneity. This phenomenon is not only manifested in the homogenization of individual thinking, but also in the fragmentation of media information and the neglect of diversity. Through artistic expression, I hope to show the potential impact of this rusty state on individuals themselves and society as a whole. Through this installation art project, the relationship between the individual and social homogeneity is conveyed. The audience can feel the mutual influence of personal information cocooning and homogenization through the works. The individual is stagnant in the cocoon, partially detached from the original information, and reaches another cocoon chamber. In addition, I use creative means to present the complexity of information cocoons and remind people to think critically about information selection. The art project Rusty in Cocoon not only reflects the struggle of individuals in homogeneity, but also reveals the profound impact of social structure and information selection on individual creativity. This insight transcends the realm of art and reminds us to remain innovative and independent thinkers in all walks of life. The successful experience of this project provides general principles for other fields, encourages people to seek uniqueness in the trend of homogeneity, and promotes society to develop in a more innovative and diverse direction.
