INTRO: Find Your Ground Project
2025
Gaze to the Stars
Critical Matter Group, MIT Media Lab
NeurIPS 2025 Creative AI

“…ground project or set of projects which are closely related to his existence and which to a significant degree give a meaning to his life.” Bernard Williams, “Persons, Character and Morality,” Moral Luck (1981), p. 12。





Fangting’s  key words
2024-2026
Poetic Cryptography
Composable Life
Comet Tense

...The protocol requires writing in the future perfect. We each register our name, birth year, chosen comet, and its next return year, then look back on the present from that year. Each entry takes the form of the 《春秋》: brief, dated, restrained — in the voice of a historian, as if we had returned from the future and the present had become early history. (Comet Tense)






如何找到你的隱喻系統
NOV 7-8
謎團與問題意識
核心隱喻

“People tell me that I have evolved a private mythology of tigers, of blades, of labyrinths, and I’m unaware of the fact this is so.” Jorge Luis Borges, Artful Dodge Interview






















隱喻的載體
NOV 7-8
軟件作為藝術形式
邀請他人進入你的概念系統

“I treat the system as the artwork. Each output is an instance of that system; it's a representation of what the system is.” Casey Reas on the History of Generative Art, Part 2






Getting Personal!
世紀末檔案館
信件與往來
硬件禮物

“In my view the case for personal writing entails the reclaiming of theory: turning theory back on itself.”Nancy K. Miller, Getting Personal(1991), p. 5





Information

Fang Ting
mail@fangting.me
wechat: fangtingeth


Fang Ting writes speculative stories (occasionally filed as sci-fi) and poetry about disappearance, labyrinths, and time. She loves language machines. Beyond fiction, she works in the crypto industry. A fake geek girl and a real logophile, she writes until the labyrinth of technostalgia ends.
