In 2023, with the help of Smug Huker, DiDi driver Laochen initiated the 'Luo Tuo Xiang Zi' project, which has involved inviting artists from a variety of disciplines to create on-site works in the car for this moving exhibition. The exhibition is accessible to visitors via the Didi app, although the time spent viewing the exhibition is dependent on the duration of the journey.The car is located in Shanghai on a weekly basis for the purpose of accepting regular orders.

    Should you wish to visit the exhibition, it is recommended that you take a chance on calling a didi car and if you're lucky you'd get Laochen's order. Tickets to the exhibition are the cost of the ride. Everything is very random.
Further artists and artworks are expected to join us in due course; please stay tuned for further updates.

    In the fifth episode of Reality Sandwich, titled "ABC Nameless Timeout", Ho Bin Kim collaborates with Rega Ayundya Putri, an artist who mainly works with drawing, from Bandung, Indonesia, to delve into the automatic techniques inspired by the Surrealist movement. The episode unfolds in a purely digital realm, with no physical location anchoring the narrative. Instead, the creative process takes place on a MacBook and iPad, merging analog and digital mediums into a seamless exploration of subconscious creativity.

   On one half of the screen, Rega performs automatic drawing, allowing her hand to flow intuitively across a digital canvas, free from conscious control. On the other half, Ho Bin experiments with autonomous writing, using the Mac Terminal interface to generate spontaneous and unfiltered text. The juxtaposition of these parallel processes reveals an intimate dialogue between analog instincts and digital immediacy, reimagining Surrealist methodologies for a contemporary context.

   The title, an anagram of "automatic ensembles," reflects the fluidity and randomness inherent in their creative acts. Background noise, carefully designed to alternately harmonize and clash with the visuals, underscores the duality of relevance and randomness. Together, the visual and auditory elements form a layered commentary on the nature of automaticity and its resonance in a modern, mediated world.

   Through this immersive, screen-based episode, Reality Sandwich pushes the boundaries of location, medium, and collaboration, offering a profound meditation on creativity in the digital age.
