铜树 The Root

镀铜干树根、电缆;2.5m*6m*5m;2022 Copper-plated dry roots 、cables; 2.5m*6m*5m; 2022

    此作品是树根与电缆的组合,树根朝天,导线却如根系般在地面摊开。这是意指植物根系浸润着重金属元素的现实,与不断从地下获取矿产来支撑的云端世界,他们之间有着遥远又紧密的串联。铜是电子元件使用最广泛的金属,铜线也是导电、连接各部件关键。错综分布的导线,在器械中穿梭,有如菌丝网络般的存在。此连结草木,彼连接信息端口。而富集在植物根系、茎干、叶脉中的铜元素,也同导线一般,将植物的脉管填满金属。

This work combines tree roots and cables, where the tree roots reach upward, and the wires sprawl on the ground like an intricate network of roots. It serves as a symbol of the real-life scenario where plant roots are intertwined with heavy metal elements. It draws a connection between the terrestrial world, constantly extracting minerals from underground, and the digital realm sustained by this extraction, creating a distant yet intricate interplay between the two. 

Copper, a vital metal in electronic components, plays a key role in conducting and connecting various parts through copper wires. The intricately distributed wires, placed through devices, exist much like a mycelium network, connecting vegetation with information ports. The copper elements enriched in the plant's roots, stems, and veins, akin to the wires, fill the plant's vessels with metal.
