55 cm (16 x 22 in) Gaze: Observable Infinity (2024), draws from the concept of the “observable universe,” transforming it into an immersive cosmic experience. At its heart, the painting features a radiant, circular light resembling an eye—a “cosmic iris”—as though the universe itself is gazing back at the viewer. This central focus is encircled by concentric rings of color, gradually fading into darkness, symbolizing both the visible and hidden realms of existence. Through symbolic colors and abstract forms, Gaze: Observable Infinity transcends visual representation, guiding viewers into a meditative reflection on our shared existence and the unseen structures that connect us. The vast perspective of the cosmos merges with the intimate image of an eye or a halo of collective light, creating a resonance that evokes a hidden structure of information in the microcosmic and macrocosmic worlds. Tan Mu bridges the macrocosmic and the personal, serving as both a meditation on the macrocosm and an exploration of collective human consciousness. Light emerges from the depths of unknown darkness, carrying hidden information through the flow of time, soon to be revealed—a moment of revelation that Observable Infinity documents. Blending science, spirituality, and collective memory, this painting embodies both reverence for the mysteries of the universe and a deep exploration of shared awareness and interconnectedness. It invites viewers to prompt reflection on our role within a larger, interconnected whole. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1734111068453-8LR1118AMW5U1JP5I1KS/Tan_Mu_Observable_Infinity_2024_4.jpg Space Gaze: Observable Infinity, 2024 Oil on linen 40 x 55 cm (16 x 22 in) Gaze: Observable Infinity (2024), draws from the concept of the “observable universe,” transforming it into an immersive cosmic experience.

The idea was first introduced by physicist Freeman Dyson in 1960 as a solution to the problem of the eventual depletion of Earth's energy resources. The sphere would consist of a series of solar panels or other energy-harvesting devices surrounding the star, capturing its energy output and providing nearly limitless energy for civilization. The construction of a Dyson sphere remains a purely theoretical idea, as it would require an almost incomprehensible amount of resources and technological advancements beyond our current capabilities. However, the concept remains a fascinating topic for discussion and exploration. Scientists have devised other methods of harnessing solar energy, such as solar panels on Earth or in space, to power our society. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1739847306276-B7P4SS2D8AP3FFF5JY3U/Tan_Mu_Horizons_05_2024_01.jpg Space Horizons 06, 2024 Oil on linen 122 x 122 cm (48 x 48 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1739834787986-G8ZQOQTN210HAMR0OWOL/Tan_Mu_Horizons_04_2024_01.jpg Space Horizons 05, 2024 Oil on linen 46 x 61 cm (18 x 24 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1643055606813-VYV29O0AF0EGNPMEBJSM/Tanmu-%E6%A3%A0%E6%B2%90-Peek-2021.jpg Space Peek, 2021 Oil on linen 91 x 102 cm (36 x 40 in) Peek (2021) is reminiscent of the first photographs taken from space. On October 24, 1946, the V-2 No. 13 rocket was launched at the White Sands Missile Range in White Sands, New Mexico, reaching a maximum altitude of 65 miles. This rocket was the first to capture a photograph of the Earth from space; every 1.5 seconds, photos were taken at a speed five times quicker than any previous camera. Peek explores the underlying motivation for humanity to explore space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720541966062-GJJO2DDTII5G5H8JLBYX/TA18224-To-Mars-to-explore-2022-HIRES.jpg Space To Mars to Explore, 2022 Oil on linen 91 x 102 cm (36 x 40 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720388423010-UM8SU42RQZ93QGLEOO58/TAN-MU-Mars+01-2024.jpg Space Mars 01, 2025 Oil on linen 28 x 36 cm (11 x 14 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720388440339-6CRHX756JTRTR6ZIRE8F/TAN-MU-Mars+02-2024.jpg Space Mars 02, 2025 Oil on linen 28 x 36 cm (11 x 14 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720388481886-ALA204MGYRL87KM2EXTE/TAN-MU-Mars+03-2024.jpg Space Mars 03, 2025 Oil on linen 28 x 36 cm (11 x 14 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720542686193-8V2QPWSKW78HNQLKGU5S/TA18232-Powehi-2022-HIRES.jpg Space Powehi, 2022 Oil on linen 61 x 91 cm (24 x 36 in) A black hole is an extremely dense object where no light can escape. Anything that comes within a black hole’s event horizon — its point of no return, will be consumed, never to reemerge, because of the black hole’s unimaginably strong force of gravity. A black hole cannot be seen by nature, but the hot disk of material that encircles it shines bright. Against a bright backdrop, such as this disk, a black hole appears to cast a shadow. It was at this moment that humankind was able to capture the first image of one. In April 2019, using the Event Horizon Telescope, scientists obtained an image of Powehi, a black hole at the center of galaxy Messier 87 (M87). The M87 is an elliptical galaxy around 55 million light-years from Earth, and the black hole is 6.5 billion times the mass of the Sun. Catching its shadow involved eight ground-based radio telescopes around the globe, operating together and acting as one telescope. The image was named Powehi, translated from an 18thcentury Hawaiian chant as “embellished dark source of unending creation.”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720542077260-5TSG6UP3GLFF5DW7PKY3/TA18233-Sagittarius-A--2022-HIRES.jpg Space Sagittarius A*, 2022 Oil on linen 61 x 91 cm (24 x 36 in) "Sagittarius A*, 2022" is inspired by the groundbreaking scientific achievement of capturing the first image of the Milky Way galaxy's black hole. This work commemorates not only the celestial subject itself but also the remarkable global collaboration among scientists that made the visualization possible. Sourcing from the first image of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, this painting interprets the intricate dance of light and gravity, shadows and illumination that define such cosmic phenomena. More than a depiction of a distant astronomical object, "Sagittarius A*, 2022" highlights the human spirit of cooperation and the collective pursuit of knowledge. It celebrates the coordinated efforts of scientists across different continents who, through a network of telescopes, managed to synthesize data to reveal a part of our universe never seen before. This artwork serves as a testament to the power of human collaboration and the boundless curiosity that drives us to explore not just the vastness of space but also the potential of our united endeavors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720550953998-7DCQJUX4ZP0SUNX0CUQH/TA18178-Torus-2020-HIRES.jpg Space Torus, 2020 Oil on linen 46 x 61 cm (18 x 24 inches） Every atom on this planet is surrounded by the torus, which is a field of energy. A self-sustaining, dynamic energy flow system, consisting of two vortices and a single axis, is the foundation for everything powerful on earth. As energy passes through one vortex, it travels along the axis, out the other, wraps around the circumference, and then passes through the original vortex to be regenerated. Several of nature's most powerful creations possess this shape, including tornadoes, whirlpools, black holes, magnetic fields, and the energy fields that surround planets and the sun. It is found in all living organisms, including humans and plants. Our planet's atmosphere is created by the Earth's Torus, which runs through its center. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720543681074-CLTRNVX03CKH76I988M4/TA18177-Torus-2021-HIRES-1.jpg Space Torus, 2021 Oil on linen 61 x 46 cm (24 x 18 in) Every atom on this planet is surrounded by the torus, which is a field of energy.

It is a type of tektite. When we ponder the vastness of the universe, Moldavite (2020) reminds us of how small we are when we compare it to the universe's scope. https://tanmustudio.com/microscopic-world daily 0.75 2025-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720537970338-DJP7JOWNWVHHFAJHCOD0/TA18166-Zygote-2021-HIRES.jpg Microscopic World Zygote, 2021 Oil on linen 40.6 x 50.8 cm (16 x 20 in) Zygote (2021) delves into the origins of life and the concept of potentiality embedded in beginnings. Through a delicate interplay of subtle gradations and fine textures, Tan Mu conveys the intricate details and inherent vitality of the zygote as observed under the microscope. As the first cell formed through fertilization, Zygote resonates with themes of growth, transformation, and the nascent possibilities that define existence. The artwork not only explores biological beginnings but also metaphorically reflects on the genesis of ideas and the birth of creativity. It invites viewers to contemplate the profound simplicity and complexity of life’s origins, fostering a deeper appreciation for the fundamental processes that underlie all forms of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720537970338-DJP7JOWNWVHHFAJHCOD0/TA18166-Zygote-2021-HIRES.jpg Microscopic World Zygote, 2021 Oil on linen 40.6 x 50.8 cm (16 x 20 in) Zygote (2021) delves into the origins of life and the concept of potentiality embedded in beginnings.

Enabled by current imaging technologies, the embryo is visualized to inspire reflection on the origins of life. Building upon First Week, which depicts the developmental process of the embryo, Embryo narrows its focus to a specific stage of fertilization, examining life's inception. The embryonic cell is observed in greater depth and enlarged by the possibility of modern technology. The circle in the embryo embodies a significant force, replicating genetic information that can now be studied with precision. Embryo also celebrates the opportunities technology has afforded artists, showcasing how advancements have expanded the boundaries of creative expression. Whereas painting was historically confined to documenting visible reality, Tan Mu employs the medium within the realm of technological advancements, archiving moments in the painting medium that would never have been feasible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720468327531-O7G2N84XWT360VKEX0UC/TA18229-First-Week-2022-HIRES.jpg Microscopic World First Week, 2022 Oil on linen 46 x 61 cm (18 x 24 in) First Week (2022) captures the biological progression of an embryo, tracing its journey through the early stages of fertilization. Intrigued by growth, Tan Mu replicates the images that current technologies can visualize in the body. Technology serves not only as a tool for embryologists to monitor embryo development but also as a medium for Mu to explore and reveal the intricate details of the microscopic world. In these early stages, the embryo’s simple structures appear almost abstract, as the single-celled zygote begins its transformation into a complex, multicellular form. The evolution of its appearance captures the essence of life in the pure structure of its form. The embryo becomes a universal representation of the origin in all things, reflecting the interconnected patterns between nature and humankind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720391265270-0QIXSWYELKTLRYHIE0NU/Tanmu-%E6%A3%A0%E6%B2%90-IVF-2020.jpg Microscopic World IVF, 2020 Oil on linen 51 x 41 cm (20 x 16 in) IVF (2020) captures the process of fertilization under a microscope, depicting a single sperm being injected into an egg through a central needle. The soft blue tones and precise positioning of the needle underscore the clinical and delicate nature of in vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF has a history spanning over half a century: in 1959, the first successful IVF birth in a nonhuman mammal was achieved, and by 1978, the first human baby conceived through IVF was born. Medical advancements have since transformed IVF from a natural research method into a controlled clinical treatment. For two decades, the concept of using artificial intelligence-enhanced supercomputers for DNA editing in fertility treatment has been explored to determine which options are most likely to result in a live birth. This technology has now expanded beyond infertility treatments to include non-medical applications, such as genetic optimization and gender selection. In the context of global health crises and the commodification of genetic engineering, IVF raises questions about which conditions are deemed “screenable” and examines concerns surrounding genetic stratification and social inequity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1741285692955-6IDVTEZVHT8UV31468OD/TAN-MU-Epithelial+Cells-2024.jpg Microscopic World Epithelial Cells, 2024 Oil on linen 122 x 153 cm (48 x 60 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720467610351-8JI72160KAMU77R4076O/TA18222-Chromosomes-2022-HIRES.jpg Microscopic World Chromosomes, 2022 Oil on linen 102 x 91 cm (40 x 36 in) Historically, sequencing the human genome as "complete" has always been a relative term. The first human genome, deciphered through the Human Genome Project (HGP) in October 1990, was a thirteen-year effort that covered most protein-coding regions but left approximately 8% of the genome unexplored. On March 31, 2022, nearly 100 scientists from the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium finally mapped the first objectively complete human genome. Tan Mu examines this groundbreaking scientific milestone through the inherently imperfect qualities of the painting medium in Chromosomes (2022). By rendering the 46 human chromosomes and their telomeres in delicate blue and white hues, the incomplete nature of the painting contrasts with the supposed 'completeness' of the genome. This contrast emphasizes that the achievement of painting chromosomes marks the beginning of more profound research into human nature and the potential discovery of its differences from other species. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720551186597-OJRRDK3EOJCPAIOHGSWQ/TA18213-Atom-2020-HIRES.jpg Microscopic World Atom, 2020 Oil on linen 28 x 36 cm (11 x 14 inches) Atom (2020) represents the movement of the atom from a painter's perspective. Due to the nature of quantum mechanics, no single image has been fully effective in visualizing the atom's diverse characteristics, prompting physicists to use complementary models to explain its different properties. In some respects, the electrons in an atom behave like particles orbiting the nucleus, while in others, they behave like waves fixed in position around the nucleus. These wave patterns, known as orbitals, describe the distribution of individual electrons. The properties of these orbitals play a crucial role in determining the behavior of the atom, with its chemical properties governed by orbital groupings referred to as shells. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720559162038-NNP1J3LE7KLICWV466HD/Tan_Mu_Artwork-Emergence-2022-.jpg Microscopic World Emergence, 2022 Oil on linen 193 x 244 cm (76 x 96 in) Emergence (2022) captures the neural structure of the brain in glowing yellows and blues, evoking the scattering of galaxies in space. The composition expands outward, branching into a chaotic amalgamation of connections and fleeting impressions.Examining the cerebral cortex, the painting reflects its cosmic similarities through the lens of dark matter. The human brain and its neural network form a disordered structure that mirrors a larger, underlying pattern. Emergence contemplates what these parallels could imply. Inspired by holographic theory and Hindu mythology, Tan Mu examines the universe from the perspective of a gigantic hologram or a greater being, whose whole can be found in both collective and individual parts. If the universe originates from the brain of God, what then is the relationship between the human brain and the universe? With one hundred billion neurons and one hundred trillion connections, Emergence magnifies this miniature universe within the body. As the nature of dark matter and the essence of life remain mysteries, the painting seeks to uncover the unknown within the individual, offering a window between the physical and the metaphysical. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1741285866532-L08AOHO62AD0G1WRP5LC/Synapse_Tan_Mu.jpg Microscopic World Synapse, 2023 Oil on linen 184x 132 cm (72.5 x 52 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1741286351528-5O3Y6UZBRWGTFGB6A8XP/TAN-MU-Emergence+02-2024.jpg Microscopic World Emergence 02, 2024 Oil on linen 76 x 46 cm (30 x 18 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1741285960681-6OTR6AEARKDI8ZRVHKLV/TAN-MU-Emergence+03-2024-HIRES.jpg Microscopic World Emergence 03, 2024 Oil on linen 183 x 92 cm ( 72 x 36 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1643059738234-IFYV5MKQ2GNF4BRL0O8J/Tanmu-%E6%A3%A0%E6%B2%90-MRI-2021.jpg Microscopic World MRI, 2021 Oil on linen 36 x 28 cm (14 x 11 in) MRI (2021) depicts a cross-sectional image of the brain, captured through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, revealing the complex and powerful functions of the human brain. This internal cross-section reflects one of Tan Mu's ongoing perspectives, exploring the intricate and interconnected structures and the flow of information within different objects. Drawing on advances in cognitive psychology and brain science, MRI engages with the deeper understanding of the brain's complexity and power. MRI technology allows scientists to observe the brain in action—learning, seeing, remembering, hearing, perceiving, understanding, and creating language. However, the brain is not infallible; cognitive psychologists study the ways in which individuals acquire, perceive, process, and store information, including how cognition interacts with emotion. With tools like MRI, researchers can visualize how the brain responds to specific stimuli, and better understand how structural differences may influence a person’s health, personality, and cognitive abilities. Through this lens, MRI not only captures the structure of the brain but also invites reflection on the vast potential and vulnerability of human cognition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1665079966795-H9O5Y2XPCVI9Y9T86KZR/TA18209-Fractal-1-2019-LOWRES.jpeg Microscopic World Fractal 1, 2019 Oil and acrylic on linen 183 x 152 cm (72 x 60 in) The Mandelbrot set is popular outside mathematics for its aesthetic appeal and as an example of a complex structure arising from simple rules. It is one of the best-known examples of mathematical visualization. The Buddhabrot is the probability distribution over the trajectories of points that escape the Mandelbrot fractal. Branches and shapes emanate from the black figure in the middle. However, there is no physical body. When zooming in to find the limits of this shape, more minor parts and spaces are revealed in a never-ending pattern. All aspects of the Mandelbrot set are connected, but paradoxically, moving closer, it is impossible to find. Digitization is an accelerating trend that affects the sensory experience. Inspired by the Mandelbrot set and the formations seen in the Buddhabrot, the Fractal series marvel at the silence of beauty, emphasizing its transience, which is moderate, humble, and retreated. The meditation on the shapes that make up the origins of life embodies the fundamental energy flow pattern and the mathematical basis of the universe.

These unseen networks carry humanity’s collective knowledge and emotions, fueling breakthroughs and sustaining our interdependence. Yet, even as we remain tethered to our mother planet, our gaze reaches the stars, seeking guidance and hope in the cosmic expanse. Signal poetically bridges technology and human sentiment, the interplay between Earth and the cosmos, and the vital role of art in archiving collective memory. Tan Mu arranges abstract dots to form a "digital constellation," where the connections between nodes and cables merge cosmic vastness with oceanic depth. Each dot symbolizes a digital node and a trace of "white noise," embodying the subtle, continuous flow of data and human connection. For Mu, technology is not merely functional; it is an extension of the body and an externalization of memory. Her works trace the flows of knowledge and emotion across oceans, emphasizing the expanding web of human connection while linking historical narratives to speculative futures. Inspired by The Classic of Mountains and Seas, an ancient text mapping the mythical and the unknown, Signal transforms the unseen digital networks of our era into a contemporary narrative. Like ancient chroniclers who charted mystical landscapes, Signal explores the uncharted digital world, blending the poetic mythology of starry constellations with the tangible structure of global connectivity. As an ongoing project, Signal evolves over time, embodying the fluidity of the digital age and recording the technological and emotional timestamps of our era. It captures the duality of connection and isolation, exploring how humanity navigates an increasingly interconnected yet fragile world. At its core, Signal preserves the ineffable—our shared memories, dreams, and aspirations—offering a contemplative space to imagine new futures while grounding us in the rhythms of our collective past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/f9e8db64-6e3d-4daf-a0bc-dc5a01ed5a6a/Tan_Mu_Signal_02_2025_01.jpg Information Systems Signal: Submarine Networks 02, 2025 Oil and acrylic on linen 152.5 x 183 cm ( 60 x 72 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/63106164-99e4-46ce-9714-9a881037469c/Tan_Mu_Signal_03_2025_01.jpg Information Systems Signal: Submarine Networks 03, 2025 Oil and acrylic on linen 152.5 x 183 cm ( 60 x 72 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1697121660782-OXLQZTQKUY74FHH9Y1VV/TA18251-loading-HIRES.jpg Information Systems LOADING..., 2019 Oil on canvas 122 x 152 cm (48 x 60 in) "LOADING..." explores the digital imagery of Earth's satellite views as depicted on the opening screen of the WeChat app. This work delves into the ephemeral nature of splash screens, which momentarily mask the data-loading process in digital applications.

These concealed strands of fiber-optic splendor traverse vast oceans, their significance echoing through the currents of global communication. Seamlessly transmitting data across boundaries, they forge a tapestry of international connectivity and access to the virtual realm. Much like Captain Nemo's Nautilus, these cables navigate the intricate intricacies of real-time global discourse, where social interactions and entertainment flow unencumbered. Streaming and collaboration become a symphony, as these submerged conduits underwrite the very foundations of e-commerce, financial systems, and remote labor, binding them seamlessly to the global economy. Beyond their tangible form, these cables transcend mere infrastructure to symbolize a world without limits, a redefinition of cultural interplay, education, and contemporary involvement. Just as Verne's literary opus embarked on an odyssey into uncharted territories, so too do these cables journey into the unexplored horizons of human connection, redefining the parameters of modern existence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/2b5595dd-eaf6-46a4-a6dc-a3c929e2b655/TA18199-Memory-2019-HIRES.jpeg Information Systems Memory, 2019 Oil on linen In three parts, each: 183 x 122 cm (72 x 48 in) Overall: 183 x 366 cm (72 x 144 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1665070415627-V8LZYLYOXALTZPU1A8LD/TAN+MU+LANDSCAPE.png Information Systems Landscape, 2021 Oil on linen 51 x 102 cm (20 x 40 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1685385149629-QBQW33AT4MZLKFQ9OZ4P/peresprojects-tan-mu-web-2021.jpg Information Systems Web, 2021 Oil on linen 46 x 61 cm (18 x 24 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720386920064-K4OQCM0NYPUI6DCFHKIF/TA18244-The-Glitch-2022-HIRES.jpg Information Systems The Glitch, 2022 Oil and acrylic on linen 193 x 244 cm (76 x 96 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720541602953-F36PESWRYWGACSQRPSQ1/TA18247-The-Glitch-2023-HIRES.jpg Information Systems The Glitch, 2023 Oil and acrylic on linen 193 x 244 cm (76 x 96 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720466889367-Q3QBT6PWJCEMJQCA7MCL/TA18202-Share-2021-HIRES.jpg Information Systems Share, 2021 Oil on linen 46 x 61 cm (18 x 24 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720468056963-SG72HDFCFQEXYR6KPOB6/TA18231-Error-2022-HIRES.jpg Information Systems Error, 2022 Oil on linen 30 x 61 cm (12 x 24 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1665070549373-VEYB8KOM1CMES7F5I3N1/TA18219-Off-2019-HIRES.jpeg Information Systems Off, 2019 Acrylic on linen In 2 parts, each: 28 x 36 cm (11 x 14 in) Overall: 28 x 72 cm (11 x 28 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/13a36bea-35ec-4952-8647-2a71f5610e86/Tan_Mu_Artwork-Play-2022.jpg Information Systems Play, 2022 Oil on linen 41 x 51 cm (16 x 20 in) Reminiscent of the VCR playback screen, Play (2022) replicates the television screen on a linen canvas's flat, two-dimensional surface. Bordered with black in the suggestion of a frame on a monitor, the image stands still in the “pause” to “play” function. Frozen in this state of transition, the viewer is forced to confront the familiarity of the imagery and the consumption of staring passively at content on a screen. Inspired by Neil Postman’s criticism that visual imagery reduces serious topics to entertainment culture, Play (2022) toys with the idea of the television as a space that facilitates addiction and undermines independent thinking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720467871030-MH458R2JLB3LB7ZT8DAK/TA18225-4K-2022-HIRES.jpg Information Systems 4K, 2022 Oil on linen 41 x 51 cm (16 x 20 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1741285401386-CLIEE87OI2RNBAG64VEX/Tanmu-%25E6%25A3%25A0%25E6%25B2%2590-Privacy2-2021.jpg Information Systems Privacy 2, 2021 Acrylic and ink on canvas 122 x 92 cm (48 x 36 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1741285259313-139BNZNQWO931A79WCW1/Tanmu-%E6%A3%A0%E6%B2%90-Privacy1-2021.jpg Information Systems Privacy 1, 2021 Acrylic and ink on linen 36 x 28 cm (14 x 11 in) https://tanmustudio.com/historical-personal-events daily 0.75 2025-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720466652014-0PY8GGX6WTYN7QY728L3/TA18230-A-Sunday-Afternoon-in-Central-Park-2022-HIRES.jpg Historical & Personal Events A Sunday Afternoon in the Park, 2022 Oil on linen 61 x 76 cm (24 x 30 in) A Sunday Afternoon in the Park (2022) creates a conversation around utopic ideologies of control and function.

On one side, there is the profound sense of isolation brought on by the pandemic, while on the other, there are people voicing their demands on the streets. The primal instinct to extinguish a fire has been replaced by the modern-day response to record it on a phone and upload it to social media. This shift highlights the intertwining of news and reality, and the blurred lines between the physical and digital worlds. These themes compelled the artist to create this work, reflecting on how technology and social media have transformed our reactions and interactions in the face of crises. Minneapolis delves into the complexities of contemporary existence, illustrating the chaos and confusion that define our current era. The painting serves as a commentary on the evolving nature of human responses and the impact of digital media on our perception of events and reality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720551084612-8U1ODYBUN1EJASKNFEJN/TA18212-Bikini-Atoll-2020-HIRES.jpg Historical & Personal Events Bikini Atoll, 2020 Oil on linen 41 x 51 cm (16 x 20 inches） On 1 July 1946, the United States conducted its first nuclear test after World War II. In the painting Bikini Atoll (2020), the mushroom cloud created by the explosion symbolizes the beginning of the atomic age. An explosion occurred at the lagoon of Bikini Atoll, located in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. It was the first of 67 tests conducted in the atoll and the second U.S. nuclear test of more than a thousand that followed. Irradiation's consequences, however, were vastly underestimated. A number of protests erupted in the United States as a result of this - rallying public opinion for the first time against nuclear testing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1721013362925-WOWRXD0PYKG2JL3EFNUD/TA18218-TRINITY-TESTING-2020-HIRES.jpg Historical & Personal Events TRINITY TESTING, 2020 Oil on linen In 7 parts, each: 28 x 36 cm (11 x 14 in) Overall: 28 x 252 cm (11 x 98 in) The loud event of Trinity testing in New Mexico in 1945 declared the advent of the “Atomic Age.” The nuclear bombs — variously cheered, detested, yearned for or abolished — has become a powerful image in the world. The artist explores this event in history in a series of paintings, 28 x 36 cm each, which appear delicate and dreamlike. The world order is constantly stabilized, disrupted and rearranged, yet does not grant anyone an exit. This series reminds us of this, recognizing the inherent vulnerabilities of the current world order, and how to live with these vulnerabilities or to challenge them. The nucleus represents the maximum central efficiency of a high-speed fission process that causes an explosion in one instant, as a result creating an infinite number of ethical, regulatory and environmental issues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1665069771940-WCOR9L50H7KFKSXZ6SZS/Tan-Mu-7.jpeg Historical & Personal Events Gulf of Mexico, 2021 Oil on linen 31 x 61 cm (12 x 24 in) Gulf of Mexico (2021) depicts the bright flames, dubbed the “eye of fire,” that erupted from an underwater gas leak in the Gulf of Mexico on July 3, 2021. The leak caused a whirling fire vortex to spew out of the ocean west of Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula. It took more than five hours to extinguish the fire, although no injuries were reported. Gulf of Mexico was painted on the same day that the event took place. In today’s mediated society, the immediacy of this painting explores the web of mass communication, returning the medium of painting to its fundamental role in documenting the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720556453399-QR1IOED417FYRBMB3LQN/TA18227--Eruption-2022-HIRES.jpg Historical & Personal Events Eruption, 2022 Oil on linen 76 x 61 cm (30 x 24 in) Hung Tonga-Hung Ha'apai, a submarine volcano located in the southern Pacific Ocean, began erupting on December 20th, 2021. Four weeks later, on January 15th, 2022, the enormous explosion recorded by modern instruments would reach its climax. The eruption mangled and caused significant damage to the undersea cables in its surrounding area, disconnecting Tonga’s communication from the rest of the world. Five weeks after Tonga's network was restored, Eruption (2022) was painted to replicate the satellite image of Hung Tonga-Hung Ha'apai. The painting documents the historical event from the perspective of the contemporary age as the everyday person watches the explosion through the media unfolding on their screen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720537307818-15HE34PE6X3PTGWLT80Y/TA18190-Philadelphia-2020-HIRES.jpg Historical & Personal Events Philadelphia, 2020 Oil on linen 41 x 51 cm (16 x 20 in) This painting expresses the dual journey through the COVID-19 pandemic and societal protests, capturing the surreal experience of isolation on one side and people voicing their demands in the streets on the other. Reality is depicted as being full of upside-down, disturbing, and anxiety-inducing elements, symbolized by the burning and overturned car in the foreground. The intertwining of what is news and what is real, what is physical and what is digital, are themes that compelled the creation of this work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720550810224-RZVWX91PUUKABHMM7M9B/TA18211-Containers-2021-CROP.jpg Historical & Personal Events Containers, 2021 Oil on linen 76 x 91 cm (30 x 36 in） Containers (2021) is a painting based on a photograph taken by the artist along a highway in New Jersey. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, global supply chains and shipments slowed, resulting in worldwide shortages and altering consumer patterns. COVID-19, mandates, and restrictions have all contributed to the economic slowdown. The lack of staffing caused goods to remain at the port in the cargo shipping industry. Global chip shortages have contributed to the supply chain crisis, especially in the automobile and electronic industries. The long-tail effects of the supply chain crisis are contributing to ongoing issues related to food security, including the 2022 food crisis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1721264609819-YX5F36WSP170WLFYUEQ3/TA18188-Projection-light-and-shadow-2021-CROP.jpg Historical & Personal Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720551238815-T37MZHHF0067CES81PQP/TA18217-Vision-2020-HIRES.jpg Historical & Personal Events Vision, 2020 Oil on linen In 2 parts, each: 28 x 36 cm (11 x 14 in) Overall: 28 x 72 cm (11 x 28 in) Vision (2020) guides the viewer's attention to experience the focusing process of the human eye. The paintings are bordered in black with a circular viewing hole in the center, resembling not only the human eye but the perspective of a lense. The viewer is forced to observe the mechanics of looking and the various ways in which it is replicated through the machine. In the diptych, there are two focal points as the eye switches between looking at different objects in its range of perception. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1741284568371-DVJ5VI32R6BAJXIRXVO3/Touch%2C+2022+-+TAN+MU.jpg Historical & Personal Events Touch, 2022 Oil on linen 76 x 76 cm (30 x 30 in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720386499306-BEUIK5K4NLVJX1VCO1Y7/TA18204-Isolation-2020-HIRES.jpg Historical & Personal Events Isolation, 2020 Oil on linen 51 x 61 cm (20 x 24 in） During the artist's time in New York City amid the COVID-19 pandemic, she witnessed the profound transformation of the cityscape. The painting Isolation (2020) depicts the construction of a temporary hospital at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in March 2020. Traditionally known for hosting events like the International Auto Show, Art Fair, Functional Fabric Fair, and Cannabis World Congress and Business Expo, the 840,000-square-foot facility was repurposed as a makeshift hospital in the battle against the devastating impact of the Coronavirus outbreak, especially felt in New York City. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720386535449-9CCPGP0NRFBS461811D4/TA18165-Antimony-2020-HIRES.jpg Historical & Personal Events Antimony, 2020 Oil on linen 41 x 51 cm (16 x 20 in) In the 17th century, the two disciplines of alchemy and chemistry were studied together because of the lack of scientific discovery. Alchemists would correspond various metals with the planets in the sky. Newton had used a piece of impure antimony in his "alchemical furnace.” The radiant and shiny properties of the semimetal reminded him of the stars at night. He corresponded it to Regulus XIV (Regulus in English) in the constellation Leo and called it "Regulus XIV antimony.” Newton's manuscripts show that he spent much more time studying antimony than discovering gravity. Although Newton's "Regulus XIV antimony" did not bring him any alchemical results, it may have led Newton to think of the action of the super distance between objects. The element of antimony helped Newton open the door to modern physics. Antimony is a painting of the semimetal of the same name. Its properties are silvery, hard, brittle, and metallic in form. It is used in the electronics industry to make semiconductors, such as infrared detectors and diodes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1665069803819-BBFUYSJO60KHM1009NBE/TA18239-The-splash-of-a-drop-complete-2022-HIRES.jpeg Historical & Personal Events The splash of a drop 1, 2022 Oil on linen In 6 parts, each: 28 x 36 cm (11 x 14 in) Overall: 28 x 216 cm (11 x 84 in) In the 1895 photographic series of the same title, Arthur Mason Worthington, an English physicist known for pioneering techniques in high-speed photography, studied the physics and aesthetics of a splashing drop. Bound into a book, the images depict a water droplet at different stages of its dissolution. Although the frontispiece shows three photographs of the splash, the photographic technology was not capable of accurately capturing more detailed stages of its descent. The rest of the images in the book resorted to drawing the droplet, as at that time, drawing was a more reliable form of documenting movement. The artist's painting revisits the period when painting as a documentary medium was newly challenged by the invention of photography. The advent of photography and its progression through history impacted how reality is understood. The splash of a drop 1 celebrates the handmade qualities of painting techniques, re-recording the process as a nostalgic expression in a time over-saturated with images. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1720467906643-WWXSGDZVDP4KY4QVU1ST/TA18238-Thermal-Imaging-2022-HIRES.jpg Historical & Personal Events Thermal Imaging, 2022 Oil on linen 76 x 76 cm (30 x 30 in) Thermal Imaging (2022) is a painting of a thermal imaging camera during the Covid pandemic at an airport security check.

1940s United States, WWII era Laying Ocean Submarine Power Cables Printed advertisement 1940s United States, WWII era Laying Ocean Submarine Power Cables Printed advertisement World War II–era printed advertisement documenting the laying of high-voltage submarine power cables beneath the ocean. The image foregrounds a diver handling armored cable rated at 35,000 volts, emphasizing the physical labor, technical risk, and material scale involved in extending electrical infrastructure into marine environments. Produced during a period of rapid industrial and military expansion, the advertisement reframes the ocean floor as an operational site for energy transmission, revealing how modern power systems rely on invisible, submerged structures sustained through human bodies operating at the edge of technical and environmental limits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1766808660308-Y1PD34LPX9HTMIFPCX8K/Okinawa+Luzon+HK+Submarine+Cable+-+JSPA.webp atlas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1766808661407-FILG6X9BXN6VH3OG8P92/Opening+Of+The+Transpacific+Cable+-+Tokyo.webp atlas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1766809068318-FJIBJBG9TH3KW3185SYM/Ot7%2BEphemera%2B1967%2Bpicture%2Bundersea%2Bcable%2Bcars%2Bmarseille.webp atlas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1766808664892-01G9J8VWSCWRP5JCUVA9/Scott+%231112+TransAtlantic+Cable+Single+Stamp+-+MNH.webp atlas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1766809100340-8HVFJ1P1A6WFSTCR6M24/Sea%2BBarnacles%2Bon%2BTransatlantic%2BTelegraph%2BCable%2BAtlantic%2BOcean%2B1926%2BPrint.webp atlas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1766808666157-CZHTVUNCQV9IDFNVTVQA/Specimen%2C+Japan+Sc818+Opening+of+the+Transpacific+Cable%2C+Map+of+Pacific+Ocean.webp atlas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603c3463cf34a07d7660d184/1766808666798-F7YAQ1FHTQQYGWUMFGV5/The+100th+Anniversary+of+the+Transatlantic+Cable+%26+First+day+Cover.webp atlas
