Research Map
The research map showcases Tan Muโs interdisciplinary exploration, compiling a diverse range of references, including books, papers, articles, exhibitions, and films, that inform her research themes and sources. Ranging from submarine networks to cosmic spaces, and from the cutting edges of science and technology to ecology, culture, and philosophy, the map spans multiple fields. Through this interdisciplinary approach, Tan Muโs work delves into the intricate relationships between modern technology, global interconnectedness, and human consciousness.
