Introduction

"(...) EVERYONE IS LIKE WORKING HARD TO BECOME A COMMODITY, SOCIAL MEDIA EXACERBATES THIS CYCLE, IT IS VERY TIRING. AND ART IS TO REALLY LIBERATE YOU FROM THESE EXPLOITATIONS AND GIVE YOU ANOTHER CHOICE IN THINKING. THE HIGHEST HUMAN VALUE SHOULD NOT BE IT’S A COMMODITY, THAT SHOULD BE YOUR HEAD."

– MAK2 in Conversation w/ Yui, Marie Claire HK, 2021
