Looking-Glass Self is an art project created by multidisciplinary artist Jing Zhao in 2018, which reacts to the current digital landscape and contemporary media. It explores how these forces impact our minds, body, and values. The project comprises five independent works mixed with still & moving images and ready-made objects. They form an installation through a specific spatial relationship. In the digital age, each time a person browses the information trajectory, it may be recorded and analyzed by big data. The front end automatically displays related information to the receiver. "self-emotion" and "mechanical digital information" interact weirdly in this process. Throughout the series of works, this phenomenon is reflected.
