Pan works with sculptures, installations, performances, and electronics to curate playgrounds. Like a child’s half-finished thoughts, impulsive yet stirring, his work are vessels that deflate trauma, shocks, and simulations. Pan investigates the mediated uncanniness propagated through social media, news, and everyday experience under the looming ghosts.
Pan animates objects’ forms and functions in a DIY approach, where familiar objects are digitally engineered and childishly treated. These objects induce shocks in his life, such as missiles, his middle school, Apple’s AirPods, sad looking stuffed animal, and frogs singing in hell, eliciting a reaction that starts with laughter and then evolves from unease to disturbance
