Ovonic domestication

none

This is an interactive art installation driven by mechanical aesthetic. The viewer tries to tip the pendulum, but is simultaneously caught in the machine's perilous red light signals that are algorithmically released. The mutual discipline between human and machine is a result of this relationship. More people have become followers of machines in modern society due to inequalities in class status and social discourse, in addition to the creation of machines. Machines and algorithms mould, manage, and control people without their conscious consent. In the course of mutual regulation, the interaction between man and machine moves toward a complicated unknown. In the settings I've created, this unnoticed ovonic domestication is exponentially amplified.
