Offline Mode refers to a state that is free in two very different or even incompatible living states. This state is manifested in various areas of life,  in the unbreakable conflict between family life and work,  in the gradually blurred boundaries between virtual world and the real world,  in the insurmountable gap between pursuit of quality of life or explore the life style.  We are all living in the edge of online and offline,  We can neither be divorced nor fully integrated.

We are nothing but the dividing line with fluctuation. Life is just a bubble exists in the moments with fluctuations between the oil and water.  I do not want to create a line that represents our life. I'm just trying to describe an already existing line. And I use the Installation to show you what is happening in our lives. However, We are experiencing the contradictions and tangles of those living conditions that can not be fused.


“离线状态”是指一种在两种极其不同甚至无法相容的生活状态中游离的状态，这种状态显现在生活的各个区域，无论是家庭生活与工作间的无法打破的冲突，还是虚拟世界与现实世界逐渐模糊的界限，又或者是在追求生活质量还是探索生命样式之间的无法逾越的鸿沟，我们都无时无刻不游离于在线与离线的边缘，既无法脱离也不能完全融入。

而那条一次一次波动的分界线就是我们，生活不过是波动时油与水间的那些瞬间存在的气泡罢了。我这里不是想要建立一条代表我们生活的线，我只是试图描述一条早已存在的线，并用装置的方式向你展示正在我们的生活中发生的事，我们正在经历的那些无法融合的当代人生活状态的矛盾和纠结。
