The scary thing is not the end of the world, but that life is no longer dominated by us and we have no alternative but to live with that. Artificial intelligence will be the end of mankind. The future world will be subject to intrusive domination and forced transformation of insane optimized intelligent technology, endangering organic life.

The world is full of darkness and beautiful pessimism. Transformed people wander in the barren neon world, struggling with poisonous and oppressive intelligent technology.

Is the future of high technology necessarily bright? This series of works named NO.404 provides a negative answer and presents the possibility of a pessimistic dystopia. In the dystopian future world, intelligent technology rules mankind and the world. This work is a surrealistic depiction of the future of mankind. By exchanging the identities of humans and machines, humans are transformed into music players and live as "Human-Machines". These jewellery pieces are experiential, and it is my intention that in wearing them, my audience will feel the effects of the dark futute i predict.

"Human-Machine No. 404" has been transformed and is now being launched…

BEFORE OPENING — There are also many holes in the facial features of humans that can be connected. I hope that people will feel uncomfortable when wearing this jewelry and produce controlled suffocation of being invaded.

— Magnetic control bulb was put into the artwork. The magnet can control its on and off, as well as the light mode. When the magnet is close to the LED bulb, it will be turned on, and the light can be always on, shining and breathing. The work in breathing mode is as if it is alive.
