Circular Interface consists of eight custom-built structural units. Each unit is assembled from aluminum profiles and CNC-milled aluminum panels forming a nine-grid framework. The front surface of each panel is precisely engraved with the Chinese character for Like (赞), echoing the ubiquitous Like button across social media. The nine grids are joined by multi-screw aluminum connectors, maintaining a strict and modular geometry — the structure resembles both a standardized social-media interface and the barred window of a cell. On the reverse side, a milled circular barbed-wire pattern serves as a visual emblem, hinting at the hidden mechanisms of control behind the interface. Beneath the seemingly gentle surface of social imagery lies a field of surveillance, discipline, and partitioned vision. Together, the eight units form a closed loop — a structural model of algorithmic circulation — enclosing the viewer within the space of the interface itself.

Circular Interface: Puncture continues the series’ exploration of the corporeality of media, transforming bodily experience into an allegory for the condition of the social-media age. The nine-grid structure is cast entirely in flesh-colored silicone; beneath its semi-transparent surface lie sharp probes and barbed wires of varying lengths, sealed within the soft skin yet faintly visible—like repressed signals or dormant wounds. Several additional probes of different lengths are embedded along the aluminum frame, keeping the entire structure under a constant tension of potential danger. These concealed sharp objects form the central metaphor of the work: they embody the psychic state of human beings within the digital social system. Under the gaze of algorithms and the circulation of public opinion, the body is no longer whole—it is continuously pierced by streams of information. The silicone flesh becomes both shield and wound; pain emerges as the only tactile link between the real and the virtual.
