Revisiting a data-driven real world narrative by an RCA group of artist-researchers at SIGGRAPH ASIA 2025, I return to a long raised question in my reearch: how do we do justice to data-driven works of dense proceduralim to augment literacy value in a digital art show?

Two artists read YU Hua’s novella World List Mists (1988) and translate it analytically and structurally into a pictogram form to augment textures of sentiments and narrative integrity, maximizing a fatal body of cybernetics through methods of scoring, cartography, chronology and storyboarding. 兩個圖像作品,兩個創作者對余華的《世事如煙》的轉化閱讀,呈現敘事性如何把哀愁、絕望化為結構,點對點的連線,網絡的展現,把個人的「命運」背後的人為操控層層展露。
