The individual users in the network environment have no substance, so network users are given great freedom. Real humans hide in virtual accounts to communicate and make friends quickly, and all human behaviours become digitized in social networking. However, the data-based network behaviours make most people believe that the impact of the behaviours is also virtual. This means the network and reality are divided into two independent worlds, and user behaviours existing in the network environment cannot affect real people. However, there are more and more self-harm and physical damage to individual’s life related to malicious network behaviours. These seem to be trying to interpret another answer; that is, we cannot truly separate the Internet from the reality, and the destructive behaviours in it will affect people in the real world with an invisible bleeding result.The project includes the design of a combination of three-dimensional installations and dynamic visual effects as well as graphic zine design. I take the hedge between virtual behaviours and reality as the starting point and use different types of virtual bugs to predict destructive behaviours on the Internet. In the design of the combination of three-dimensional installations and visual dynamics, the contrast of various media is used to make a visual narrative that substantially impacts the destructive behaviour of network virtual. And the design of the graphic zine include the seven most common network destructive behaviours and designs that visualize them. I intend to visualize the invisible virtual destructive network behaviours through tangible visual expression and have direct communication to feel the discomfort caused by the bad network behaviours intuitively.
