LiQin Tan

“Refractive Brain Therapy” is a conceptual animation-installation project that consists of a few large digital metal prints along with 3D animation and LCD monitors through large water-filled vats.

In this exhibit, LiQin Tan shows a decidedly unique understanding of refractivity. The project touches on the natural means, more important, a social phenomenon as well. In Chinese ideology, the phrase “refractivity” holds the dual meaning of 1) initiating an illusion; 2) leading towards social reality, with applications to psychological activities, including brain washing.
