YU SHIH-FU

The artwork depicts abstract personalities through mechanical devices, drawing inspiration from the experience of observing the mechanical dynamics in everyday life. It introduces the concept of expressing humanity through "mechanical language." The piece is powered by a 6RPM reduction motor, driving twenty-four pairs of connecting rods in a radial pattern. These rods, in turn, move twelve pairs of acrylic blades slowly up and down, creating a rhythmic waveform through the dynamic variation in the height of each blade. The base of the artwork incorporates fluorescent tubes that provide light, projecting onto the blades and creating a pulsating light pattern in the darkness.
