In this piece, "Ineffective Socializing" takes the form of a swarming colony. The artist borrows the penguin—the quintessential symbol of Chinese internet culture—and translates its natural huddling into a scene of digital gridlock. > These frantic, jittery creatures are the avatars of our modern selves, lost in the noise of "99+" pings. Through a style echoing urban graffiti, the artist captures the chaotic entropy of digital interaction—fragmented, loud, and buried under a pile of emojis. While it mimics a study of nature, it is truly a visualization of our collective virtual psyche. In this crowded spectacle, there is immense noise, but a total absence of meaningful connection—they are together, yet they have nothing to say.
