Die interaktive Installation Shadow of Original Sin untersucht die menschliche Urschuld. Wo es Licht gibt, muss es auch Schatten geben. Aus den Schatten können wir immer die dunkle Seite der menschlichen Natur sehen. Im Inneren des Apparats spiegelt sich die Urschuld in dir als Mensch. In der Installation verwandelt sich der Schatten des Publikums in ein Monster. Das Monster wird vollständig vom Publikum kontrolliert, wie das Monster reagieren wird, hängt vom Publikum ab. Das unbewusste Böse der menschlichen Natur ist völlig offengelegt.

Guo Biyu: Undergraduate student at the Cheung Kong School of Art & Design at Shantou University, majoring in Digital Media Art. Normally, I would not try to do interactive media art and even would not try to make art. Through the process of this project development I started to think differently. I discovered endless possibilities for creative expression, complex storytelling through meanings and metaphors which makes me believe that media art is still full of vitality.
