The thrust of Game is the deconstruction of presentation and observation in different media, and displayed in nonlinear narratives: from the comparison between images photographed by cameras and computer-generated images to the track of camera positions in live sports on television, and then emulation of human eyes in first-person shooter games. The work intends to, by comparing these borrowed heterogeneous images with montage, unroll the mechanism, iteration, and recurrence behind, as well as the position and corresponding perspectives of observers. “How is the world represented by images? How does the represented world reconstruct the way we observe?” It is hard to answer the question, Game is a humble attempt.
