PrefaceThe entry of my graduation proposal will be a Buddha machine, a music box for meditation. It was sacred but cheap, industrial yet transcended. 
There is a 24/7 sound in my house—ambiguous, genderless, looping "Amitabha" endlessly. This is my **mother's machine**. She once worked on the factory assembly lines; now, she uses this cheap plastic box to "accumulate merit."
Before the graduation proposal, I need to find the clue from my Xpub 1 practices, tracing the methodology and the tools in the past one year.
How the body is disciplined by systems

/// and how we react ///
I want to find the cracks, the glitches, the moments where we can insert our own meanings.

SI#25 SOUND_OF_MAKINGIn SI25, sound was the tool to explore invisible discipline.
Broadcast#3: Underwater_Exploration > Field recording as storytelling


Using water as a metaphor to explore systems. Collaging diverse audio samples to investigate the textures of aquatic environments, finding the materialization, fluity and resistence of the sound.
Key Connection✎: Sound collage, archival practice 
Broadcast#5: Bad_Customer_Service 
Scripts.exe
> Script-based Narrative


Sound, like call center scripts, is repetitive and systemic. This project constructed a fictional space transforming protocols into narrative scripts.
Key Connection✎: Script-based narrative, fictioning, storytelling


Radio Worm: The Guideline to Shadows' Mindscape 
Poster.png
A radio drama about the Chinese art system. Exploring algorithmic intrusion and escape.


Key Connection✎: fiction writing, role play, broadcasting


SI#26 DECLARATION[Key_Connection]: Interactive Interface
Face_Notation 
Prototype_v1.jpg
It is a interactive website that transforms the bodily markers of Chinese physiognomy into a music system. 


Users adjust browser windows (CSS Grid), turning the disciplined body into a musical instrument.
Key Connection✎: fiction writing, role play, broadcasting

SI#27 See you many times! The Observer Clock "Every blink counts. 
The more you blink, the faster the clock runs."
Installation.view
Documentation_Err.log
Eye_Tracking_Mechanism
The Observer Clock transforms our most unconscious body language—blinking—into a direct conversation with time itself. This interactive installation consists of a blinking-detection clock where visitors' blinks literally accelerate the passage of time,revealing how our attention speaks in ways we rarely notice.
I also used the weasy print to documentation the whole research process and the basis machnism.
Key Connection✎: installation, archiving

THE_BUDDHA_MACHINE
[0] CONTEXT: THE_INFINITE_LOOPWhy research the Buddha Machine?  
File:PLACEHOLDER IMAGE OF BUDDHA MACHINE.jpgThe interface of transcendence.
PARADOX_DETECTED:
Soundscape: Factory = Hard Labor // Practice = Healing
Body: Production Line = Tool // Home = Merit Accumulator
[1] METHODOLOGY: THE_PHANTOM_CITYOutput: Web-based Installation + Publication
A non-linear virtual space simulating "Spiritual Suspension". 
User navigates a **"Phantom City" (Yicheng)**—a digital mirage.
**STATE 1: THE LOOP:** If input == 0, system decays into noise.
**STATE 2: THE GLITCH:** Clarity appears as a mirage, then dissolves.
**STATE 3: SUSPENSION:** Repurposing the exhausted body in hyper-efficiency.
