Created to die?
No work of art has affected me emotionally like this piece of robot arm has done”.
It is programmed to try to contain the hydraulic fluid that is constantly leaking and requires to keep running. if he escapes too much, he will die, so he is desperately trying to pull him back to keep fighting for another day.
The saddest thing is that they gave the robot the ability to do these “happy dances” to the spectators. When the project was first released, she danced spending most of her time interacting with the crowd, as she could quickly remove the small spill.
Many years later. (as you see it now in the picture) he looks tired and desperate, since there is not enough time to dance.
Now he only has enough time to try to stay alive, as the amount of hydraulic fluid leaked became unmanageable as the spill grew over time. Living his last days in an endless cycle between sustaining life and bleeding simultaneously. (Figuratively and literally how his hydraulic fluid was deliberately made to look like real blood).
The robot arm finally ran out of hydraulic fluid in 2019, slowly stopped and died - and now I am torn by a robot arm that was programmed to live this destiny and no matter what it did or how hard it tried, there was no escape. The spectators watched him bleed slowly until the day he stopped moving forever. Saying that “this resonates” doesn't even do it justice. Created by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu, they called the piece, 'I can't help me'.
What a masterpiece.
What message.
Extended interpretations: the hydraulic fluid in relation to how we kill ourselves both mentally and physically for money only in an attempt to sustain life, how the system is configured for us to fail on purpose of essentially enslaving us and stealing from us the best years of our lives to play the game that the richest in world have designed.
How this robs us of our happiness, passion and our inner peace. How slowly are we drowning ourselves with more responsibilities, with more hopes of ourselves, less rewarding rewarding and less free time to enjoy over the years. How is there really no escape from time and that we were destined to one day no longer wake up. How can we give and give and give and how easily can we be forgotten after we are gone. How we are loved and respected when we are valuable then one day we are no longer so and we become a burden. and how our young free and caring spirit is stolen from us as we get out of the broken system in which we are trapped.
It can also be seen that it represents the cycle of human life and the fact that none of us leave this world alive. But it can also act as a reminder to allow you to heal, rest and love with all your heart.
That the endless pursuit of “more” is not necessary to find your own inner happiness.

I once saw a cartoon of people, waiting in a long line, with a hole at the end where they jumped to their death, this reminds me of this

Very special work of art, with a pressing message. I particularly like how you write down the interpretation of this work in rake sentences, which reflect the heart of the matter.

What a good message with this good writing we fight and fight for money and in the end nothing is eternal like the robot.

That is why we must live appreciating the small details of life, having a balance in it we will be able to live better.

The saying of surviving and doing everything possible to move forward and then end up dying, is the law of life

The same is our life, we try as much as possible to survive this life over and over again for fear of losing it and we do not finish accepting that sooner rather than later we will reach that end

I read the whole publication, and it has a very curious meaning that is, The machine fought and fought and in the end its life ended, that is, that could be taken in a person's life

Well, it's true, whatever we do, it will always lead us to death, that is, it is the natural process of life.

What it means is that we spend our whole lives working and taking care of ourselves at the same time, keeping ourselves alive as much as possible.

Epale greetings. It is definitely a message that they are trying to tell us, we just have to see this; it is a machine, if it were a human it would get tired and be defeated.

I love your publication is very true no matter how much we swim and swim the same we will die on the shore none of us will save ourselves from going through that trance some first others later the truth is that what is worth accumulating fortunes and material things if at the end of the road we leave only with our good or bad works

Good night, I found it without an explanation a heavy picture to see, with the explanation I have no words.
