Prosthetic Electric
2023
Collaborated with Zichen He and Yongbo Yang

Prosthetic memory refers to the use of external devices or media to access, adapt, and recreate alternative bodies of memory as part of our personal identities. In an interactive performance, the project externalizes and re-embodies the operation system of the brain producing prosthetic memory, which is mediated by media and information. The marimba keys randomly making sounds and the colored liquid drops represent the mixing of real and prosthetic memory, while the inflating and deflating balloon symbolizes the divided consciousness that shapes human perception and identity.
