“Travel around the world at home during the period of covid pandemic”
How can you travel outside your home amid a central epidemic blockade when you cannot leave? You can only travel through time and space in your mind by using recumbent travel. I read Ann Morgan's 'A Year Of Reading The World' and thought I could travel worldwide by collecting photographs taken by friends worldwide. Then I went back to my room to travel in my room by making my daily life strange, to build a refuge from the epidemic.

During the epidemic, a large number of people had to work from home, and as a result, artificial intelligence technology was developing at a faster rate than ever before.Unable to leave the house, I achieved the first stage of my travels at home by collecting photos taken by friends around the world on social media and by using the disco difusion to generate images. The internet could take my vision across the globe and even into some virtual spaces.
I try to think of my home as a tourist attraction, where the objects and furniture in my house become a tourist scene. They are like my secret base in which I can hide away and tell my personal stories. This will serve as the second phase of my travels at home.
