+===I love my computer===
+The focus of the installation is the co-dependency between a machine and its owner/human, as well as their differences.
+The computer, as both a personal companion and an opaque technological entity, serves as the focal point of this work. Its physical form—sleek, intimate, and often overlooked—invites close observation, while its inner workings remain largely mysterious. This contrast between surface familiarity and internal complexity opens a space for poetic reflection. Rather than offering technical insight, the piece embraces the emotional, aesthetic, and symbolic dimensions of human-machine relationships.
+"I love my computer" is a multimedia exploration of the complex, intimate, and ultimately fragile relationship between a human and their aging machine. At the heart of the project lies a sentimental bond with a once-reliable computer—now deteriorating, slow, and drifting from functionality. The work contemplates the shared history between the two entities and raises existential questions about agency and attachment: who determines the end of such a relationship—the human, or the machine itself?
+The project navigates the blurred boundaries between animate and inanimate, between care and utility. Through audiovisual materials, poetic reflections, and comparative studies of organic and mechanical bodies, the piece investigates whether commonalities exist between the human and the machine—physiologically, emotionally, or structurally.
+By shifting perspectives, the work seeks to portray how the computer might perceive its human counterpart, while also revealing how the human projects meaning onto the machine. Underlying the project is a central inquiry: can a relationship between a machine and a non-machine be imagined as one of mutual recognition—perhaps even as equals?
