I work, therefore I am
Chiu Sze Man
I work, therefore I am is an interactive installation that comments on the existence of meaningless jobs in society. It features a factory line creating and erasing forms, amplified by layers of monitoring hierarchical systems that emphasise its futility. Visitors can engage by clocking in, symbolically becoming a part of the system, encouraging contemplation on the nature of work today.
Artist's Statement
Cman is interested in crafting experiences and telling stories with technology as the tools. Her creations revolve around kinetic sculptures where she explores the dynamic interplay between space, materials, and technology, to expand the narrative in our physical reality.
Juror's Comment
A clever and satirical piece that resonates with contemporary working society, this ambitious creation seamlessly integrates physical computing, machine learning, motion capture, and computer vision. It serves as both a celebration and a self-critique of the technologies employed, adding depth to its commentary on the intersection of technology and human experience. (Kingsley Ng)
