I Remember—
A creative work focused on the marginalized group of Alzheimer's patients

This video serves as the final compilation of my Alzheimer’s-themed virtual art project for the MAT10 course. Inspired by a real interview, the work centers around one powerful question posed to patients:

“What is the one thing you don’t want to forget?”

Using selected excerpts from their answers, I edited and restructured visuals to transform these fragile memories into immersive emotional fragments. Through digital montage, sound, and space, the video captures both the beauty of remembrance and the quiet ache of forgetting.

You, in the Fragments

This interactive artwork explores the fragmentation of facial recognition through the lens of Alzheimer’s disease. Using real-time mouse position tracking, the closer the viewer moves their cursor to the subject’s face, the more the image distorts and dissolves.

Facial features blur, stretch, and ultimately fracture—simulating the painful paradox where the faces of loved ones become the least recognizable.

Alzheimer artistic font creation

During the creation of this work, I wanted to incorporate many elements that I think are quite representative of this disease. So I picked these. Personally, I think the rotten apple is quite interesting. It not only symbolizes that people are getting old, but also that illness makes memories rot. Another symbolic meaning of a telephone is a call that can never be reached. Illness has deprived them of the ability to communicate, and they can no longer interact with the outside world.

Two Perspectives: Home in the eyes of an Alzheimer's

This work takes "the difference in cognitive perspective" as the entry point, and by comparing the home environment in the eyes of Alzheimer's patients and ordinary people, explores how memory impairment affects an individual's cognition and feelings towards "home". The project focuses on the deformation and misalignment of daily furniture and space. Through visual contrast, it evokes the viewers' empathy for the strangeness and unease of people with cognitive impairments.

During the creative process, I used Chat AI to assist in generating visual inspirations and image sketches. With the help of SuperCraft, I transformed these images into initial 3D models and finally imported them into Blender for refinement, rendering and visual presentation. Through this cross-media creative process, the psychological process from perceptual confusion to visual distortion is presented, constructing a perceptual space that is both real and detached.

Simulation of changes in the brain of Alzheimer

This piece explores the internal transformation of the brain in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, using a combination of Processing (creative coding) and Google AI Studio.

The Nameless Body

It is a text work inspired by the character Settings in the film "The Father Trapped in Time". By drawing on the identities of these characters and the tones of their dialogues, I wrote a narrative of "self-introduction". However, this self-narrative is not stable and unified but gradually disintegrates: from the initial self-confirmation, to character misalignment and language confusion, and ultimately the complete loss of the ability to recognize characters and oneself.
