看不見的顏色 (2000)
今年九月尾開始我把彩色圓點貼紙貼在地鐵站盲人用的引路膠板上。貼紙不久因重覆踐踏而磨去， 有些則些故意給人去掉◦我見到有時會把貼紙補上◦ 這個作品，用引路板的人看不見，不用的人卻看得見。作品既然對用者來說並無影響，一切阻止就 都是荒謬的。作品也不屬於其他路人，看見的人是太八卦了。作者顯然是去錯地方，用錯物料，找 錯對象。
invisible colours (2000) 45 inkjet prints, 15 x 21 cm each
Starting from September this year, I began to put colourful dot stickers on guiding paths for the blind in the MTR stations. Soon the stickers were worn because of frequent stepping, or they were intentionally removed. I sometimes stuck the dots again when I noticed such things happened. These dots are invisible to path-users except non-users. As they do not affect the users, any obstruction is absurd. The dots are also irrelevant to the non-users – those who saw them are too nosy. Obviously the artist has gone to the wrong place, used the wrong materials and sought the wrong audience.
姓名 (2000) 兩個印章，中英文名字各一(梁允怡/ LEUNG WAN YEE JANICE)，但印出來的卻分別是「±ç¤¹©É」 和「AACEEEEGIJLNNNUWY」◦中文亂碼字指涉印刷技術的現在和未來(電腦化) ，按序排的英文 字母指涉印刷技術的過去(執字粒)。 這個作品也關於學習的過程﹕兩個符號本身沒有意思，但「蓋印-認知」的儀式賦與它們意義。
Name (2000) rubber stamps, name cards
The two rubber stamps are supposed to print my name in Chinese and English (梁允怡/ LEUNG WAN YEE JANICE). Yet the resultant prints are ‘±ç¤¹©É’ (the computer error codes of my name in Chinese characters) and ‘AACEEEEGIJLNNNUWY’ (my name in English in alphabetical order) respectively, referring to the present/ future (computerization) and the past (manual typography) of printing technology This work is also a metaphor of the learning process: the prints do not make sense by themselves, but the ritual of ‘stamping - recognition’ turns them into meaningful signs.
出生日期 (2000) 這是關於機會率的作品◦ 生日後，我把自己的出生日期分拆為六組號碼買六合彩，看看命運會不會給我帶來運氣。我期期都 買，如果我記得的話(我通常記得)，如果我在香港的話(我很少離開香港) 。
Date of Birth (2000-) ‘Mark Six’ lottery tickets, 83 x 104 mm each
This is a work about probabilities. After my birthday, I made my date of birth into six sets of numbers and started using them to buy Mark Six to see if my fate brings me fortune. I was still doing it, if I remembered (I usually did remember) and if I was in Hong Kong (I seldom left here).
街坊 (2000) 那些「街坊」和我都住在那個屋村◦未讀報前，我並不認識這些「街坊」 ，也不知道「他們」的「遭 遇」 。事實再現 (新聞報導) 後，我才認識「他們」 ，知道「他們」的「遭遇」◦我把新聞黑白影印， 影印時故意不把影印機蓋蓋上，空白位印出個大黑框，成為事實再現的再現。
Neighbours (2000) photocopied newspaper article, 42 x 29 cm
Those ‘neighbours’ and I live in the same housing estate. I did not know ‘them’ nor did I know ‘their experience’ before reading the news. I know ‘them’ and ‘their experience’ after reading the news, a representation of reality. I photocopied the news in black and white, leaving the photocopier’s lid open so that the margins became a wide black frame. It is a representation of representation of reality.
