2015 was a more robotic period where I exposed the mechanisms and motor sections of my statues as I built them. Their body interiors, moving joints, and motor mechanisms are open to view as integral parts of the statues. As with my other pieces like I am bored, Playground, the inclusion of music as an external element, or the ironic arrangement of a mechanism that manually plays with a ball were an indication that I was interested in different subjects. “The Purple Flower of the Machine” introduces a smell to the statue, aiming to actuate the audience’s sense of smell. The combination of three dimensions, action, and smell render the human-machine dichotomy less ordinary. Perhaps the addition of a little playfulness will also make it easier to understand.
