After reaching 99, the counter returns to 1.\nNumbers with the digit 0, a symbol of finality and emptiness for the artist, are omitted. The work may evoke affectless computer code but was in fact inspired by Miyajima&rsquo;s experiences in the hospitals he frequented as a chronically ill child.\nThe continual flashing and counting of numbers illustrate the Buddhist concept of samsara, the ceaseless cycle of reincarnation.</p>\n<p><em>June 10, 2025 / M+ / West Kowloon, Hong Kong</em></p>\n<img src=\"https://josephchen.micro.blog/uploads/2025/d1db9c13c2.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" alt=\"\">\n<p><video controls=\"controls\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" src=\"https://josephchen.micro.blog/uploads/2025/a3fede8c2a.mp4\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" poster=\"https://josephchen.micro.blog/uploads/2025/c9835e3a5e.png\" preload=\"none\"></video></p>\n",

During the assemblies, staff stand in military-like formation and recite chants. Zhou Tao edits and arranges the images according to the rhythm of the chants, showing how the collectivity of a socialist past has acquired a new function in the market economy as a highly effective governing tactic for modern corporations.</p>\n<p><em>June 10, 2025 / M+ / West Kowloon, Hong Kong</em></p>\n<img src=\"https://josephchen.micro.blog/uploads/2025/d45407cdb7.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" alt=\"\">\n<p><video controls=\"controls\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" src=\"https://josephchen.micro.blog/uploads/2025/7923bebbcf.mp4\" width=\"720\" height=\"1278\" poster=\"https://josephchen.micro.blog/uploads/2025/dcf1abc243.png\" preload=\"none\"></video></p>\n",
