Through a poetic and metaphorical way, my installation attempts to re-spond to a new phenomenon, a de-sexualization of human desire caused by the super-frequent interaction between human and machine. The aluminum profiles give the installation itself a metallic texture, constructing the ma-chine part of the installation. The tank part with the mixture of mineral oil and titanium dioxide constitutes the projected medium and cooperates with the projection part to construct the artificial-organic part of the installation. The machine part interacts with the organic part through a rhythmic, repet-itive motion, like the refrain of living beings in nature.
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. (Gibran 70)
