Assembled sculpture recreate game and its existence, but to some extent the spark of art and life in the form of game seems to be related to the contemporary world and the individual life, for in this modern age of highly developed communication via Internet, one can play in his or her own world to heart's content without going out and without the company of many friends. This is also the age of "the Only Child",who have gradually grown up with their own individuality, concept and way of life that are entirely different form the previous generations. They have been accustomed to playing alone since their childhood,and furthermore,entertainment and play has become the typical activity in contemporary life due to the relatively sound economy. Therefore, it could be concluded that the game spirit inherent in art is a typical representation of the game spirit in life.For one thing, this art and game involved in the works bring forth many more subjects that create. While disassembling and reassembling the artistic works,the subject or producer of the artistic work changes,for the original subject or producer turns into subjects the audience participating in the play,thus making invalid the rule that the creating subject of traditional artistic works is the artist himself or herself. It is play without subjects and it is play that removes subjects. Instead, the artist relates himself or herself to the subjects that participate in the play,revealing the feature of the artistic work while playing. The play spirit of the artist and the audience,concentrated and embodied in the work, is thus restored to life. For another,more forms are thus recreated. The form of the work is not the fixed one any longer,for it changes each time disassembled and reassembled. It seems to imply a view that challenges the established traditional pattern and encourages the pursuit of artistic freedom.
