這是一個自給自足的裝置作品，具有一致的邏輯，議題及敍事性。
在「Soong Wei 是你的朋友」這個題目下，我嘗試探索人類的脆弱所帶來的控制慾和尋求夥伴的慾望。為了尋找這個議題的最佳解決方案，我設計了這些機動朋友──它們備有細緻的結構、詳盡的心理背景，讓你可即時理解你的機動夥伴！
然而這些夥伴不是解決寂寥和控制慾的最佳答案，因為尚是空中樓閣式的構想。

A recurring theme of my installation is the creation of self-contained systems with their own sets of consistent logic, issues and narrative.
Under the title “Soong Wei is your Friend”, I tried to explore our vulnerability as humans desperately seeking companion and our desire to control it. My mechanical “friends” are designed to be the perfect solution, usually complete with their own meticulously compiled background information, which includes mechanical schematics and also their detail psychological profile, to help you to get to know your new companion better.
Nonetheless, these companions failed to be the perfect solution and remain only as an idiosyncratic conception that temporally fulfills our needs.
