leap motion, loop video image

The ship of Theseus is an interaction installation that based on the ancient Greek question, which was raised by ancient philosophers: The ship of Theseus paradox.

This work consists of visual image, motion sensing controller and sound effect, which makes people control the ship motion as participants, feeling how things develop and change in process. People accord a priority to biology over technology and take into account in any assessment of how we define ourselves in relation to our technologies in philosophy itself. Should we include our ontological status in connection with technology, which make modern civilization possible?
