In November 2020, I have tried to share with the guests some ways of seeing on the second floor of ALIEN Art Centre. Through the composition of picture and sound, by doing this, it is also a driving force that urges me to continue to create. Through the actual creation process, I experience some emotions that are not available to only curating and therefore maintain my enthusiasm for art creation.

In the creation and exhibition rooms of the two artists in “The Place Where There Is No Darkness”, they display different strong personalities and atmospheres, so I adopt a creative strategy different from the past. My creation is more inclined to ambient music, "Ambient music must be able to accommodate multiple levels of listening attention, rather than emphasizing on one. It must be both interesting and ignorable", allowing the audience to feel freely with their visual and auditory experience.

From 2011, when he created his classic "Life-size drawing", Lai Chih-Sheng has explored depicting the connections between surfaces within spaces, and drawing spaces within spaces. In “Linger”, a work in correspondence to the history and architecture of the Kinma Military Hostel, challenges viewers’ physical sensations on the spot.
