OPINION PLANET
Now, in the rapidly evolving Internet age, anything that has happened in the world can be immediately known through the Internet media. The Internet has also changed the direction of media development. In addition to traditional media giants in the world, small independent media have their own perspectives on the world through SNS. People from all over the world are aware of news cases around the world through their own media and SNS, and are discussing on SNS based on the content of the media and forming public opinion.
With the development of the Internet, media formats have become more diverse and free, and news information has become easier to obtain. However, different media have different positions when reporting the same news. There are many factors that affect the news position. For example, driving commercial interests and political factors. Against the background of this information explosion, how social public development has changed and the increase in information routes can offset prejudice against single-angle deciphering of incidents and become a more mature and intelligent citizen. Conversely, they can widen their differences, causing social divisions and ethnic conflicts. For example, the recent anti-repair case in Hong Kong has led to different public views and perspectives on the same case, with media in different positions being led by public opinion for six months. The disputed people, torn from social conflict, seem to be living in a parallel world they believed in.
It is the main type of public opinion in the form of l newspapers, television media, social media, and even the signs of the protesters. The content of letters and the style of typefaces are the main mediums that convey public opinion. My main focus is on the tearing of society by public opinion. In this section, we will take up some of the most recent corporate conference topics, and organize and analyze the content of the public opinion and the forms of letters. Then, based on the research results, we will take "legalization of instantaneous movement technology" as fictional disputed news, simulate the public opinion of the two positions, and apply different forms of character modeling to public opinion information. I would like to express this social phenomenon through two spherical installations and encourage interest and reflection on the impact of public opinion on society.

Opposition position
1.Background:
Second half of 2019 - Social opinion cleavage in the Greater China area
In Taiwan, due to the complexities of politics and history, the two major political parties in Taiwan (the Democratic Progressive Party and the Chinese Nationalist Party) are highly biased in ideology. In addition, the democratization of Taiwanese society is at a developmental stage, and the Taiwanese society, which has been in power for 30 years with the change of two major parties, is more or less contradictory on various agendas. These inconsistencies became unresolved in a short period of time, accumulating and breaking up society.
In the entire Greater China region, there is a severe conflict between public opinion and ideology due to differences in ideology and political standpoint. The Hong Kong fugitive ordinance was revised in the second half of 2019. Hong Kong democrats and constituencies have used their media and social networks to create their own public opinion in the entire case. Democrats are favored by Hong Kong youth, intellectuals, and Taiwan Democrats. Many mainstream media around the world also support the Hong Kong democratic position. Many of the supporters are the middle-aged and elderly, Hong Kong new residents, and the majority of Internet users in China, Macau and Singapore, as the Constitutionalists take the position of the Hong Kong government and the Chinese central government. The media in China, Macau and Singapore are in a position of constituency when reported in the news.
There was no common understanding between the two positions, as the values and politics were exactly opposite between the two positions. According to media reports, media with a particular position can play a role in conveying their position or attacking others in months of incidents.
The majority of people understood the case through the media and the internet, and media propaganda determined the people's view of this. The conflicting media has caused conflicting people, and the conflicting people have constantly published conflicting speech on social networks.
Three months after the incident, Chinese communities, including those in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and other countries, have caused a crack in the irreparable society.
2.Fictitious social incident:
2XXX The legalization of teleportation technology
In order to visually visualize social phenomena in which social conflicts and public opinion have been torn apart, we envision social events that may occur in the future. Hundreds of years later, when mobile technology matures momentarily and a bill on its commercial application is submitted to parliament for deliberation, public opinion in the world envisions what will happen. Therefore, many industries in the world may do big car washes such as transportation, tourism and energy. What new challenges are brought about by political values, regional regulations, human rights, religion, ethics, how media with different financial backgrounds report, and how people on social media report this. Will you talk to?
I have organized the set of global issues that this incident can cause in a graph like this: (Internal text is English and Japanese)
3. Visualization: Opinion Planet
I printed the organized poll letters to make two identical spheres. The two objects look the same on the surface, but their speech positions on the surface are quite opposite. This is also a visual art creation for a social phenomenon in which the people live in a parallel world due to public opinion conflict.
