Collision Gears

Mingyi Qian (CN)

Self-destructive machines are unusual in that their function challenges the normal production and consumption cycle we assume of technology. Self-destructive machines are contradictory, they call into question material existence. This project is a self-destructive machine created through research on materials and self-destructive forms. The operation of gears is a precise process. By changing the material and shape, the gears no longer interact with each other, but they collide with each other.
