Shadow of Original Sin is an interactive installation that explores human original sin. Where there’s light, there must be shadows. From the shadows, we can always see the dark side of human nature. The inside of the device will reflect the original sin inside of you as a human being. In the installation, the shadow of the audience will turn into a monster. The monster is completely controlled by the audience, and what the monster will react to depends on the audience. The subconscious evil of human nature is entirely exposed.

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.
