Emotion Skin Beyond Organic Mechanism's Cover

Temporarily unlisted

The mechanism and emotion have been the main core concerned by the author in his art creation. In this thesis the author discussed the topic of “Emotion Skin Beyond Organic Mechanism” by two pieces of interactive art works - “Atma-graha” and “Pupufu”. These two works both explored the interdependent relationship between the mechanism and emotions via mechanical installation.

“Atma-graha” is an installation art of fluid mechanics. In this work, the pendulum swings back and forth on it and a white ball is dragged by fluid. When the audience picked up the white ball and put it back, the white ball will be controlled and dragged back by fluid finally. The situation represents the author’s current mind. “Pupufu” is a net installation art. It was constructed with four machine creatures which symbolized by punctuation related to different emotional symbols. The four machine creatures are installed by Chinese punctuation symbols “!”, “?”,”、”, “。” separately. Those symbols were typewritten by people through the Twitter and MSN virtual community in internet. The emotional symbols are full of our life and they are ubiquitous around our every single thing. These emotion symbols were converted to a dialogue and made“Pupufu” twinkle and creep in the space correspondently.

Besides, the author also described the implement methods and discussed the related works in this thesis. At the end of the thesis, the author reviewed and probed the possibility of tow-way feedback between the audience in the exhibition and the remote audience in internet when they interactive with the works.
