Inner Force – Shu-Min Lin

March 9th, 2006

Shu-Min Lin's work Inner Force applies to the practice of the wu-wei principle of Taoism , which means “action without competitive or selfish goals”.

A pool of water is projected on the floor. Participants have to compete to fill its surface with lotus flowers or to catch as many of the carp swimming in the water as possible. Electroencephalogram probes are attached to the viewers' heads to measure the alpha wave activity of the brain. Forcing things does not work, the more peaceful the posture and the mind, the more successful the effort.
