        台灣是個3C王國,而每年都有許多可以用的光碟機被人們丟棄,但其實他們都是好的,只是因為其他公司推出了更新更酷炫的硬體。
我去收集了許多二手的光碟機,用另一種方式讓他們再度活了起來,而其背後驅動他們的養分,是來自於網路上碎屑的封包。
        Taiwan is a 3C kingdom, where numerous informational products are discarded - some of which, replaced by newer models, still usable. For this piece of work, I collected hundreds of scrap CD-ROM drives and made them come back to life.
        The Internet, the blood of my work, is itself a stream from which data, consisting of 0's and 1's, are put in (uploaded) and taken out (downloaded; accessed). Likewise, data in a CD-ROM can be put in(burned) and taken out (read). In my work, I want to convert the Internet data - the ones and zeroes - into the CD-ROM drives' physical ejection and retraction, thus making the activity of logging on to the Internet both visible and audible. Moreover, by putting a large quantity of CD-ROM drives together, I would like to immerse the audience in the grand informational torrent materialized by the collective action. The mechanic movement shall create a space undefined, moving, developing, "massaging" the body all the time.

* 3C means products belonging to the categories of computer, communication, and consumer-electronics.
