Living Mask, 2022

A soft robot could breathe with heartbeats

A living mask interacts with a person through heartbeats, which modify the air that the mask breathes. It has a brief but lovely life.

The living mask is an interactive mechanical installation. I favor looking into the kinds of animals that might live in a post-human world. Maybe after being surrounded by humans for a while, some objects

that are static can become dynamic. As a result, I will create an alive mask that will start to breathe as soon as people's hearts connect with it. The mask is designed for persons who must routinely wear

masks in public places during pandemics in China. During this phase, our faces could develop. The closed link between humans and machines is last but not least.
