system. Tan Mu’s ongoing Signal series is a sustained artistic investigation into the invisible architectures of global communication.Mu reimagines these hidden infrastructures not merely as technical constructs but as vessels of collective memory and human connection. By fusing planetary systems with individual and cultural histories, Signal creates poetic diagrams of connection and rupture, mapping time, scale, and collective presence. Works from the Signal series have been acquired by major international collections, positioning the project within a global cultural dialogue.
