Our hands are a machine archive. On the surface, they manipulate the machine in a designed process, beneath the visible actions, hands produce and assemble every machine part. This project shifts the conventional notions from motors and electricity as the mere driving force of machines, to human hands
By stripping away the overt motion of hands, we not only eliminate the physical gestures but also the associated elements that typically accompany them—labor, factories, and more. It's a conscious effort to shift the focus from the apparent external mechanisms to the often overlooked, yet indispensable, role played by hands in the intricate dance of machine creation. This reevaluation invites us to reconsider the true essence of power within the machinery we often take for granted.

OUR HANDS ARE A MACHINE ARCHIVE是一件基于电子元件与机械结构的互动装置，通过对废弃电路系统的重组与空间化呈现，探讨机器系统背后的生产逻辑与人类参与关系。
装置以拆解后的电路板为核心视觉元素，将原本隐藏于设备内部的结构重新组织并暴露于展示空间中，通过线路延展与结构连接，构建出具有信息导向性的空间视觉系统。同时结合电机驱动与观众触发机制，使装置在静态结构与动态反馈之间建立互动关系。
在体验设计上，作品弱化传统以功能为导向的机械逻辑，将重点从“运转结果”转向“制造过程”。观众通过接近、触发与观察装置，逐步理解机器并非自发运作的系统，而是由人类行为与劳动所构建的结果，从而重新建立对技术系统的认知。
展陈上，项目通过墙面装置的模块化布局与路径引导，形成具有阅读顺序的空间叙事结构，使观众在观看过程中完成从“表层机械”到“内部逻辑”的认知转变。装置不仅作为展示对象，同时也是信息传达与体验引导的媒介。
