This work deals with an individual who has been enrolled in a process that can be called morbid, in the modern life. The individual who has constantly been pushed to an identity and new life designs for the sake of a crazy glorification of mankind and an idea of a final proceeding, has been condemned to a living of a vicious circle which seems to go on forever.
From the beginning of manhood, the technologies whose integration with the body has been increasing day by day are accelerating this process and cause a progress simulation. The individual who is lacking a target or an upper utopia, is having a realition with the machine which can be considered as slavery, only doing “the processing” in all the aspects of life that recur to the mind.
This work includes all this process as to the way the materials are used. The 3D human model and the bicycle which were produced in a digital environment that can be defined as a secluded system, are placed in a location/room/space in another “window” and are constructed “as if” they are moving by desinging each motion one by one. In this process, the designer has also processed in front of the computer, within the limited oppurtinites the machine provides, just like his design.
