Human body is most complex system that is precise and efficient. It has a dynamic framework that is flexible, with hinges and joints. Also, there are oceans of nerves that carry the information back and forth from the central nervous system. Especially, the brain is the center of a complex computer system that control information that controls every action from conscious ones to unconscious ones.
How much do you know about your body? Who does know your body better than you? There is nobody who knows about your body but you. Then how can you demonstrate your full body in a limited space with limited materials?
To answer these questions, I conducted a few experiment and tried to represent the metaphor of human body symbolized with actual living being as a part of my life. I regarded my body as a small particle and tried to transform physical whole body shape into the abstract form based on the Standard Model of particle physics. The Standard Model is a simple and comprehensive theory that explains all the hundreds of particles and complex interactions.
This practice shows hybrid analysis to demonstrate human body complexity. The outcome is a symbolic of visualization with an unusual setting and idea to express my experience and feeling.
Task1: I tried to measure my physical body with various methods including volume and surfaces.
Height: 162cm, Weight: 51kg Volume: 51 L (1.5L x 34 water bottles) Surface : 22.275m2 (13.5 x 10 cm @162 toilet paper units)
Task2: Multi-photon scanning microscope (with 16x, field of view: 735 micrometer) has used for hair and skin texture observation.
Task3, I created an electrical black box that interacts with human movement, voice and touch. LED lights and entangled fibers are installed in the Insulated box.
