The Grammar of Agency

by Yiwen Che

A Series of Interactive Installations

This collection of Interactive Installations comprises three subjects that step out of the passive role of being mere ‘objects.’ They refuse to simply absorb a passing glance or wait to be looked at; instead, they actively extend an invitation for you to engage. Here, a hand reaches out to connect, the plant breaks its silence to speak with those who touch it, and time itself adjusts its pace to the physical weight you apply.

Hope is no longer a state of waiting (intransitive); it is a necessary, directional intervention (transitive) seeking connection. Technology acts not as ornament, but as the ‘syntax’ bridging subject and object, inviting a dialogue and enabling the material world to reach out and answer you back.
