Inspired by the celestial phenomenon known as the "Golden Snow Mountain at Sunrise" in Yunnan, Southwest China, Golden Mountain – 5991840000's transforms the intersection of sun and snow mountain into a generative, time-based virtual environment, the artwork reconstructs this moment of terrestrial illumination within a system governed by data, simulation, and perception.

The phenomenon of "Golden Snow Mountain" is not merely a scenic spectacle, but a projection of astronomical motion. Rooting the artist’s ongoing inquiry into the relationship between computational and natural time, the installation modulates particle systems based on the Earth’s axial rotation, light angles, and dynamic solar conditions. In this space, light behaves like sand — falling, flowing, accumulating — rendering not just form, but time itself.

The artwork captures this tension: between what we see and what governs the seen, between nature and simulation, memory and computation. It invites people to immerse themselves in this in-between space, where light arrives — as visitors, as data, as presence.
