A human-technology romance expressed as a performance installation. The human and technology try to become one through a garment made of skin. Technology longs for the limited twilight of human life, and humans for the infinite galaxy that technology holds. Whether they are embracing, or restraining each other, the two drown in the sea of personal distance. Humans are addicted to technology. Technology, too, is addicted to humans. How can one love technology, while loving humans? I want to discover an intermediate place between pleasure and despair, and project it onto the sexuality of we humans who live in today’s world.
