In Conversation: Qiufan Chen & Yehwan Song

About the web-based work I am feeling Luckier: How to (dramatically) change your life with FUN

30 Aug 2024

The interview invites us to dive deeper into the concepts and collaboration process behind their interactive web-based work I am feeling Luckier: How to (dramatically) change your life with FUN

Artist Yehwan Song and sci-fi writer Qiufan Chen composed the interactive website I am feeling Luckier: How to (dramatically) change your life with FUN that becomes a site of worship. It is inhabited by DAOmoji, a god that emerges from the internet itself, from the bytes accumulated through online interactions. The god appears in familiar but often dreaded situations such as exams, flight turbulence or work meetings. And they invite visitors to perform different gestures: open and close your eyes, show your teeth or rub your shoulders. These quirky web rituals unlock whimsical charms that can be shared to cope with the taxing effects of climate change and late capitalism. I am feeling Luckier: How to (dramatically) change your life with FUN attempts a viral community-building exercise, where people can collect and share cute talismans against dark times.
