Detail

《REC END 3.0 K-us》 is an interactive installation that transforms discarded home appliances into remote-controlled vehicles. These relics of daily life—such as washing machines and rice cookers, once essential to urban living—are granted new life and movement. Through the surreal and humorous spectacle of household appliances navigating the space, the work invites reflection on our society of excessive consumption and the waste generated by modern technology. While contemporary appliances offer convenience and provide a means for self-expression through their diverse designs and functions, they often include superfluous features that do little to truly enhance our daily lives. The sight of these appliances—which may appear to be in perfectly good working order, yet are destined to break down eventually—serves as a reminder that long-lasting does not mean lasting forever.

Artist

Liao Chien-Chung

A graduate of the Department of Fine Arts at the Taipei National University of the Arts, the artist employs model-making techniques to create intricate, highly realistic replicas of existing objects. By crafting works that are easily mistaken for the real thing, they challenge the viewer’s perception, bringing to the surface personal narratives and critical perspectives on society. Their work has been exhibited in museums and art festivals across Taiwan and internationally; they have also participated in artist-in-residence programs at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris and the Glenfiddich Artist in Residence program in Scotland. Their work is held in collections such as the White Rabbit Collection in Australia. They are currently based in New Taipei City.
