4. Symbiotic
Author: Liu Yichun, 2020The relationship between the baby and the mother is the basis of the moral relationship between individuals and the society, and it is also the prototype of individuals and human morality. Therefore, the mother and child are easy to establish an in/separable relationship that affects each other.
In this symbioticrelationship, the two depend on and influence each other. It may be interdependent and mutual benefiting, but sometimes it is mutual hurting because it reduces the opportunities for self-verification and independence.
Without exception, the center of human beings in their infancy is the mother. Meanwhile, this restraining relationship is as dangerous and difficult to control as natural and carnal desire.
From a certain perspective, with blood as the starting point, the child becomes another form of continuation of the mother.
No matter how old a person is, he will always subconsciously search for what was lost in his childhood. At a certain moment in life, he will find another self from his mothe
Inspiration Symbiosis refers to the close and mutually beneficial relationship formed between two different organisms. This state of bonding is physiological and difficult to violate. symbiont can or may not live together, and most symbiont do not know that they are helping another organism, they simply choose the best way to survive for themselves.
I have witnessed many complex mother-child relationships that bring about changes on both sides, over-dependence/lack of need, and the impact of which is lifelong.
"I love you, but you suffocate me”
"In times of danger, I always call out to my mother”
So I want to make a installation that the experiencer play the role of a mother, exploring his own body in virtual amniotic fluid until he discovers and realizes that he is in this symbiotic relationship, where At a certain moment in life, the child will find another self from his mother.
The pressure sensor receives the signal, the left-hand electric shock installation and the step motor starts.The step motor moves forward when exerted, and moves backward when relaxed, so as to control the internal GoPro.The GoPro is installed on the step motor for shooting the image from the Ice screen
The picture captured by GoPro is transmitted to the computer for processing, and then transmitted to the screen via wifi, and finally played to the participants.
The man enters the dark space and sits on the white women's operating bed. The man stretched his hand into the white device, firmly gripped the installation with his left and right hand, a faint electric current tingling sensation came./Some liquid-like images began to change with the control of the man's hand/ As the man explores in the liquid, he will find his own image appears in it
Process 01. The display cover
The display cover is used to gather the viewer's sight and make them be more attracted to the content
02. Box(outside )+ Step motor (inside)
The internal installation will move when it receives a signal from the pressure sensor.
The outer surface is made of aluminum bracket, the groove in the middle is designed to leave space for the wooden box.
the step motor (1.4m) is placed in the wooden box, in order to make the appearance more tidy.
03. Armrest Installation
Two armrests are designed for the ex-periencer.
They can firmly grips the internal installation .It simulates the state of the pregnant woman exerting force during deliv-ery.at the same time, there will be a tingling sensation of electric shock
Visual design: The device simulates the inspection and production scenes. When holding it hard, the experiencer will feel the pain of being electrocuted, and control the lens by force to explore in the "amniotic fluid" until he find his own image.
So I referenced the visual experience of the fetus in the amniotic fluid, simulation a liquid composed of viscous and complex granular materials.
I also used a microscope to shoot, and every movement under the microscope is clear. The visual experience conveyed is also stronger
