The name of “Without You, I'm Nothing” comes from the exhibition at the 2011 Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, where "you" refers to the audience, the museum curating the concept of the increasing importance of "audience" to art, but also asked the existence of contemporary art If art can not trigger audience’s feel, what is the point? But for me, this "you" refers to more than audience.
I designed a device connected through the network signal, one end near the entrance to the exhibition, one end set up as the stock signs, when the audience walk into my exhibition venue, the number increase as the speed of my heart rate.
On the one hand, this work quantifies the number of visitors, on the one hand, it is the corresponding currency price Refers to how to measuring the value of an artist, the majority community's expectations of artists, and artists faced reality survival issues,the relationship between the state of the artist's creation and the entanglement of the institutional economy in the life of the artist.
