In Non-Cultural Intangible Heritage 000 (2024), Ji reimagines the interplay between ancient symbols and modern technology, drawing inspiration from artifacts like the Rosetta Stone. By fusing a sleek, digital aesthetic with a stone-like surface, Ji creates a
striking dialogue between the past and future. The fluorescent green command prompt text, sharply etched onto the surface, evokes a sense of retro-futurism, highlighting the tension between humanity’s deep history and its technological progress. This contrast invites viewers to contemplate how we have "edited" and reshaped the world throughout history, much as we continue to do in the digital age.
