Interactivity

Why is interactivity? On the Internet, interactivity is so omnipresent. And it is impossible to think of a passive online experience. This project is working on Human boy. The whole human body is circulations, is mazes. The interactivity is for attracting audiences’ attentions, gives initiative to them, let them experience the circulation between hands and brain from different forms, for instances: nerves, muscles, blood vessel, skeleton, skin. At the same time, audiences are using their hand to control the mouse for clicking buttons to experience the project. Then the abstract images transfer from their visions to thought back to hands. It creates another circulation between the interactive animation work and audiences’ body. Another interactive element is the sound track. The soundtrack plays following the mouse movement. Sets up the Sound Off button to let the visitors have choice to stay in silence.

Meaning of life relating to the human body

In the historical Chinese dark learning, from the lines of hands (life line, head line, heart line etc.) people may know their future. But I believe chiefly the mold of a man’s fortune is in his own hands. Similar to the unique fingerprint, everyone has his own life journey. Paths in the forest are metaphorical journey of life. Also the trunks of tree symbolize the paths of life. On the life paths, everyone should keep walking, however, lot of choices need to be made, to think about which way to go. From our body, we can also learn this principle. The blood vessels and nervous of the circulation system also looks upon the paths.

The idea also relates to my prevenient series of drawings "Life & Body" (2006-2007).
