An artwork itself will form an independent space-time continuum. I called it “Virtual World”. We are observer under this space-time continuum. “Observing”, indicates a kind of feeling from a distance, and it is due to the distance that more space of imagination grows between the artwork and the viewer. “Observing” gives freedom to the act of seeing, and viewers will generate their inner views out of these freedom. Furthermore, the viewer’s own experiences, understanding, background, culture and other reasons, produced differ interpretation and thinking.

In the beginning of this thesis, the two terms “Seeing” and “Virtual World” will be pointed from the perspective of physics. After basic explanations and definitions, my own creative context and artist statement of my new work will be interpreted through the two keywords. The argument started from looking at artwork through seeing in a distance, and then proceed to the argument of allowing artwork to generate and release it''s own information, and finally extend to the other possibility of seeing moving images, in the context of contemporary moving images.

I tried to look for a context from my own creative experiences in this thesis, from the physicality of camera’s view to extension of changes in perspective, as well as the relation between video works and viewers. 《Bystander》, a video work revealing space-time continuum of relations on seeing in three layers, also indicates that we who are seeing the work are part of the work at the same time. Viewers would re-examine why we see and how we see through this form of seeing.
