Clockwork Melon is a very simple creature constituted of a box, servo, sensors and a watermelon. Clockwork Melon is a sensible creature that wears itself down by being alive. The servo situated at the top of the structure generates reciprocating movements. A piece of sandpaper is attached to the servo, continuously rubs the watermelon, and slowly abrades the material. As time passes, less would be left out of the watermelon, and its inner parts (pulp) would be visible, just like the bones of a corpse.

We are trying to represent what time and the surrounding environment do to living things through this work.

• The watermelon resembles an animal's head, which also stands for vitality.

• The ultrasonic sensor, looking like a person's eyes, detects the distance of people moving around to imitate social interactions.

• The LDR and temperature sensors stand for the environment we're in as biological entities.

• The sensors are responsible for the movements of the servo. Their extreme sensibility to the environment makes the servo run endlessly.

• We also put a sunlight lamp in the exhibition, which took place in a dark room, to create a dome-like projection, standing for the world we live in. It also added to the melancholy atmosphere.

This process will be ever-running until the watermelon is totally gone, as a representation of death and the uniqueness of life.

With this work, we want the audience to reflect on their mortality and the ageing process, but also put in a light that even artificial objects follow the same process. We are all equal when it comes to the wrath of time.
