Loss, Undersea

Loss, Undersea is a phantasmal media work in which a character dynamically transforms according to undersea metaphors and a narrative poem is dynamically generated according to user-selected emotional tone. The work evokes the poignant pathos of a civilization slipping into the sea, a transforming being losing more and more of herself or himself, and mindless traveling through life as if on a descending platform. Such visions for me capture a sense of dissolution of joy, daily struggle for happiness, and the conflict between the rich mental lives of all individuals and the narrow, prejudicial bureaucratic structures that constrain people to discrete boxes.
