Interactive Sculpture [Elastic Ropes, Wooden Structure] , 2011

 

 

 

The sculpture I have made is a "human face" in the form of a self-designed weaving system. Participants are invited to use the woven system by pulling the ropes in order that they may control the expression of the face. The elastic system allows more than two-hundred "muscles" to join action to form rich facial expressions. This indirect manipulation of emotional expression is a metaphor of how techno-forms of all kinds pull the strings of our everyday communication and personal expression.

 

 

一顰一笑,面上四十多組的肌肉各自恰如其分地舒張緊縮,組合成像。以種種微妙的瞬間變化,組成各種的情感表現:似笑非笑、欲哭無淚、眉頭緊皺、凝神貫注、靦腆微笑……本作品利用數碼立體軟件及自製的織網結構,建造一座模彷面部肌理運作的互動面譜,觀者透過簡單的拉扯動作,以手腳控制嘴臉,簡接操控,反正,我們都習慣透過/隔著各種電腦程式互相溝通。
