The last word pursuit of fact is unrealistic as a result of fact itself is inherently tough to outline. Many phenomena in life are analogous to the superposition idea in quantum principle. Likelihood supplies a rational entry level to discover the world, the place something can exist, disappear, or rework into one thing else beneath particular circumstances.

I typically imagine that issues I’ve seen prior to now had been a sure approach, however typically they aren’t. This conviction and actuality typically diverge. As soon as the boundaries of this actuality develop into much less tangible, maybe ambiguity represents one other facet of the world.” — Huaiyi Du

Within the ‘Incomplete Investigation Archives,’ Huaiyi Du constantly blurs the boundaries of actuality, to some extent, disrupting the images’s conventional operate of ‘truthful illustration.’ Via using new applied sciences and mediums, Du by no means ceases to discover. He finds pleasure in each recent technological development. ‘The duality of expertise typically manifests in observe. For creators, as a substitute of worrying about its twin nature, exploring the inventive breakthroughs led to by technological adjustments is a supply of pleasure,’ explains Du.
