Artist statement

Title: Back to Reality

Inspiration:        Based on personal experience. One of my lecturer asked me why do I look sleepy in class. When I told the lecturer it was because I am lacking of sleep and only slept for 1-2 hours every night, the lecturer told me that was impossible.

This video basically explains why I am having lack of sleep. It is divided into 3 main reasons. Each reason comes with collective data that I have been collected within the period of one week.

Knocking on my door
Living in my parents’ house means I will be called upon a lot. Reasons vary from fixing the water pipe, cleaning the fish pond, fixing the modem/internet connection to buying groceries. Being the elder of the two that still live in the house, the responsibilities automatically fall on me.

Nature calls
The consequence of drinking too much coffee or water to stay energized when doing work/assignments means frequent toilet breaks. Peculiar thing is that it always happened when I’m asleep.

Notification from hell

It is the most annoying thing that can happen while you are asleep. Being connected to lots of different people means that I am being forced to sync to lots of sleeping patterns/timing. It seems that there are no social courtesy on when you can call someone or post article on their Facebook page or send twitter message or worst, invite someone into a group chat and spam the chatroom. Things happened randomly and often at inconvenience time. It’s hard to filter all or switch off or silent the phone altogether because I might miss on something important.
