I • Automaton Alive
{Automaton Alive} is a installation performance piece that tells the saga of last world child “CC” who shed a teardrop over the destroyed land, and returned the color of it when the tear landed in its own place once called home. The performance consists of 3 episodes: crumble, a returning of, the day of. These 3 episodes are constructed with music composed and played live, projection mapping of the visual element of the story, and instrumental devices designed to synthesize the movements of CC in its automaton form. 

II • CC 
CC, the last child on earth, is a fiction character dedicated to those children passed away in the 2008 Wenchuan, Sichuan earthquake. In the incident, over 70,000 people died (official statistic), many of them were children. This project touched the subject of abundance of the anonymous defunct in a social currency where lived the chaos of civil conflicts and global prejudice.

III• Theory
"Tear is the missing ingredient to cook the soup of reincarnation”. I want to explore the metaphysical meaning behind our automatic mechanical world. The quote contains two parts: "soup of reincarnation" originates from a 5000+ year old Chinese saga about a bowl of soup cooked by lady Meng to forget about the past life upon the gateway of reincarnation; "tear is the missing ingredient" is my addition to the saga as a metaphysical construct of the recipe within that bowl of soup.
