利用掃瞄機，以掃描的方式產生的動態影像。

在掃描的過程中，或是刻意拖拉身體各部位，形成拖影、殘影、立體感的影像，或是移動掃描機，造成影像的錯置。原本熟悉的身體形態，無論凝眉、閉眼、蜷曲、擠壓或肢體的伸展，都在數千萬張畫面連續交融的快或慢速流動裡，形成一個動態的框架。

掃描器的高解析度可呈現如微觀攝影般的細膩畫質，所以在掃描前，我先抓傷我的皮膚，如同繪畫的基底處裡，使毛孔放大、破皮、結痂……等。而依據傷害的程度不同，也形成不同的質感，有別於正常皮膚。

''Sweet Dream'' creates fluid images with the help of a scanner. During scanning, the body parts are intentionally dragged or pulled, so to produce residual, lengthened, or 3D images. Moving the scanner also creates overlapping or misplaced effect. The familiar shapes of the body, whether it frowns, closes eyes, curls, stretches or is squeezed, thus forms dynamic frame in the fast or slow flow composed by the tens of thousands consecutive images.

The high resolution of the scanner helps present a microcosmic photography-like quality. I scratched my skin before scanning so that my enlarged pores, grazed and scabbing skin are all shown in different quality than the normal skin. After the processing like the base of painting, the scanned images consist of multi-layers effects.
