From “The Remedy” to “Ancient Prescriptions”, and now to “Medi-Chip” (the artwork uses aluminum blister packs as a medium), it is apparent that Zhang Yanzi is familiar with artistic expression methods from a medical perspective. In this series of work, the artist uses empty aluminum blister packs as the base for her art. Through repeated ink rubbing and dozens of applications using thin-layering technique, she portrays layers of dense ink patches as if they are microarrays on computer chips. The focus of “Medi-Chip” shifts from the individual to society as the reflection on information technology that exudes the anxiety towards the “post-digital era”.
