DescriptionBook
Description from artists:
This book explores the relationship between decay, life and death, featuring an extended looking lens through which we are able to view the odd and the beautiful. It is a synergistic coming together of the sentient (me) and the machine to reflect on the human life. It is an interrelationship between a human (me) and a machine about the nature of decaying, and the symbolic representation of decaying in human life. The machine reflects on the questions asked by the human regarding decaying, the environment, ecology, politics and philosophy. Through a better knowledge of the nature of life, the human and the machine work together together to find a philosophy for a sustainable future.
