In this practice, the function of the transport apparatus–Berlin's Ring Bahn translated into a 3D object scanning application, where the urban landscape inside the ring is scanned as an object and translated into point cloud data in the digital environment. In this process, the artist became a medium to synchronise with both Ring Bahn and the point cloud scanning system, combining the benefits of transportation, digital image capture technology and computation together to build a scanning system, and use it to create a point cloud model of the city within the Ring. During the process of constructing the model, the completeness of the model is limited by the form of transportation. This limitation reflects the character of the tool which further affects the users who are synchronised with the tool.
《路徑》是一項以城市交通觀察為核心的藝術實踐。在此實踐中，柏林的 環線鐵路（Ring Bahn） 被轉化為3D 物件掃描的儀器，將環線內的都市景觀視為物件進行掃描，並在數位環境中轉譯為點雲數據。
在這一過程中，藝術家作為媒介，同步於 環線鐵路 與點雲掃描系統之間，結合交通工具的能動性、數位影像捕捉技術與運算能力，構築一套掃描系統，並透過它製作出環線內城市的點雲模型。
然而，交通方式的形態形塑了點雲模型，這種關係不僅揭示了工具自身的特性，也進一步影響了與工具同步的使用者，使得城市的數位映像不僅是技術產物，更是交通運動與感知機制交互影響的結果。
