Empitivism Medicine
Interactive Installation
May 2024
"Empitivism Medicine" is an interactive art installation that explores the intersection of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western medicine, symbolized by empiricism and positivism. Through a dynamic synthesis of these philosophies, it invites contemplation on the complex relationship between medicine, science, and philosophy. More than just a display, the work deconstructs and reimagines empiricism and positivism, encouraging the audience to reflect on the fusion of traditional knowledge and modern science.
"Empitivism Medicine" was shortlisted for the 14th National Art Works Exhibition, held at the China Art Museum in Shanghai.
