Rui is an object-oriented visual-player who reintegrates the shape and function of objects, which weaves a speculative dialogue with the audience.
To engage with the familiar but bizarre states of vital essentials, by assembling a visual anchor between the object and the reader through words.
A visual discipline is created in terms of words’ obligation, the objects’ function and identity is redefined both as a reaction and retention from the reader.
Rui’s current research ‘Object Conversation’ reveals hidden things in his personal life, and presents them as an object-oriented conversation with the reader-viewer. It does so in three treatments:
Speculative: the description of the word is ambiguous; is a flowing idea; rather than a static form.
Sequential: the position of the object is various; is a periodic movement; rather than a static gesture.
Gameplay: the interaction of the audience is adaptive; is a subjective recreation; rather than a static instruction.
In combination, these treatments cognitively refresh the reader-viewer, leading to the completion of the ‘visual bridge’.
Extracting the significance of moments with objects, Rui grasps at his speculative thinking about living emotions and hippocampus memories.
From a transitive apple mind debate after school, to a micro eyedrop before bed.
From the overnight growth of a wisdom tooth, to a stay-up-play with a puzzle game.
This publication is an ontological investigation moving between the verbal and the visual, and into the significance of object identity.
