~Under construction~

TRUEORIGIN is my channel name, it has never been a family name. I am its sole owner and creator. I have never been a virtual personality. My channel and craft is independent of any other’s works — generally, when you film in a genuinely publicly-accessible location you and others paid to be at, in virtual or in real life, no one else, including the software company or landowner, has any legal ownership claim to your final product or channel.

The painting seen in my website background is pencil on paper with digital handpainting by mouse (Mouse: “wee-eeh!” No, not you mouse), which I created using self-invented techniques. Together it demonstrates an earliest form of full encryption, with unlimited scaleability (limited by your own resources) and can be used by a layperson without training.

In 2016, my debut Art of Zinemaking workshop held at the Substation in conjunction with SingLit Station was a great success, with 21 participants showing up despite official attendance being maxed out at 13 out of 11 given slots. This became my first Live Art Installation involving these 21 strangers, where I demonstrated the Stream of Consciousness technique in its complete form. Everyone was thrilled to take home their own creation, a visual blueprint and roadmap comprising of their own answers. Elsewhere there was incredulity since this involved untrained laypeople as far as everyone knew. Unbeknownst to me at the time, I caught the attention of some people who had been trying to reach that space for a while, likely after having invested substantially over some time, which possibly set us on track for certain unavoidable encounters.

In Jan 2017 I sat on stage as an Artist at the 2017 Freedom of Art Award held at the American Ambassador’s residence at Oei Tiong Ham Park, where I was introduced to the audience as Meryl. My ex-spouse was in the audience, after he managed to obtain a last minute invite from Lorenzo. That was our first encounter.

At present my 2016 Art of Zinemaking workshop is linked to a wrong person’s Instagram account by Google’s AI writeup. They bear no similarity to me. I’ve reported the matter. Please refer to SingLit station Website for details.

More soon.

There were some things that were not disclosed to me, I am sorting it out at present.
