　　In today’s information explosion and internet era, the creator had realized that modern people require even more capabilities to face competing pressure. 《Examination》 is an interacting art which uses a model of the creator’s head as the interactive interface, and projects 3D animation images of the creator on both sides of the room. When the audience picks up the stethoscope and touches the model, the projected 3D human digital images would appear with IC invasions and brightens, just like having an IC board tattoo marked on the face. The audience uses a stethoscope as the interaction mechanism, picks up the role as a doctor, and “health check” the inside feelings of the creator. During the interacting process, the effects such as computers and the internet to the creator’s mind are diagnosed. The work piece expresses forms of anxiety and haste. The model is divided into different interacting sense-areas, printed with fortune-telling Chinese characters and scientific symbols which describe the human body parts. As the audience uses the stethoscope to diagnose the characters on the model, it resembles modern people would chose a rather superstitious method, or a medical path to diagnose and relieve self-pressure. While using the method of an interactive piece to express the creator’s realization towards information and technology, and from the interaction with the audience, the concept of 《Examination》is presented. This presentation is meant to refer the experience and inside thoughts of modern people.
