Comb Machine: the Regulation of Hair, 2020-2021
(Robotics, computerVision)
艺术家试图通过机械的一场行为艺术来展示一个制度系统。 在这个系统中，只要 “被管理者” 遵守该系统的规则，就拥有一段相对自由的活动时间。艺术家创建了一个梳头机与头发机器人之间的互动场景。在这段关系中，梳头机代表着权力阶层，而头发机器人则代表着被管理者。头发机器人平时可以进行自由活动，但每当铃声响起的时候，它们必须来到梳头机面前被梳理头发。每隔十分钟铃声响起一次，头发机器人被梳头后获得暂时的自由。
The artist displays an installation to demonstrate an institutional system. The institutional system shows an interactive relationship between two parties, in which a ruled party has a certain degree of freedom if they obey the principles formulated by the ruling party. In the installation, the ruling party is a comb machine, whereas the ruled party is a group of hair entities. The hair entities can wander around till the comb machine rings the bell for the sake of combing, or to say, regulating. The conduct of combing is not necessarily for tidying their hair, they may leave with messy hair. After all, they get their freedom till the next bell ringing.
