The political status of Taiwan is a complex and ambiguous topic in East Asia and beyond. The newspaper aims to deliver the context by combining user-input prompts and background knowledge. Users can generate an ambiguous portrait fitting the generated story that comes from their inserted perspective.
With 12 pages, each page has its own topic with provided background knowledge from Wikipedia. I asked 11 people with different nationalities and identities to interact with the assigned page and send it back to me. The final result of the printed copy is a collective perspective from both human and machine.
An artist interview (2021) produced by University of the Arts London about the project The Ambiguity. Meet Wei-En (Wen) Chen, a student from BA (Hons) Graphic and Media Design, at London College of Communication, UAL.
