Qiu Yu's works are not limited to visual language research, but through experimenting with the fusion of media technology and mixed media to carry out the cognitive language research. In his works, we can see the research path from perceptual transformation, perceptual extension to “perceptual hyperplasia.” He is good at using perceptual transformation to generate new perceptual experience. The series of works also explores digital technology’s potential to extend perception. Through the enhancement of various senses such as hearing, touch, vision and smell, the audience is given a “super experience” in these works. They were able to hear the sounds that were originally silent, see the radio waves that were originally colorless, and smell the sounds that were originally odorless. These extended experiences beyond the limits of the senses produced a kind of synaesthesia that was difficult to describe in words. The desire to perceive in an extended way also becomes the driving force of sensory evolution or hyperplasia. This is not only an instinctual reflection of the artist's living environment, but also a fanciful imagination about the future of the artificial body.—— Fei Jun (Artist, curator，Professor of CAFA)
