Credit: Zhen Li (Structure Design)Fruit is an interactive installation that critically examines the themes of human greed and the exploitation of technological progress. Inspired by the forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden, the work addresses the ways in which our desires drive us to manipulate both technology and our environment. The installation features an artificial fruit, suspended from a metallic branch, symbolizing the allure of materialism and technological innovation. As participants interact with the fruit, their actions influence a responsive video loop, underscoring the consequences of our engagement with technology in a world where ethical boundaries are often blurred.
果实 是一个互动装置，批判性地审视了人类贪婪和对技术进步的利用的主题。该作品以伊甸园中的禁果为灵感，探讨了我们的欲望驱使我们操纵技术和环境的方式。该装置的特点是人造水果悬挂在金属树枝上，象征着物质主义和技术创新的诱惑。当参与者与水果互动时，他们的行为会影响响应视频循环，强调我们在道德界限经常模糊的世界中使用技术的后果。
