Transistasis
This is my Art piece in an Exhibition – 248 days of school.
I call it Transistasis. Actually, it is a very serious topic which is talking about a society phenomenon.
I utilise a very essential mechanism in human body as a trigger – Negative Feedback mechanism.
However, I am apparently using a easy going method to execute my art work as I believe that art should be belong to everyone.
In the visual, you can read the definition by your body. At the same time, you will hear the news which reflex the society conflict.
I wish the audience would think of the society actually is a body. If we won’t do anything to maintain stability or to enrich ourselves from outside environment, the mechanism even the society would be collapsed finally.
Below is the full text projected on the wall:
Transistasis is the property of an open system, especially living organisms, to reform its functions to maintain a meaningful condition, by means of multiple dynamic equilibrium adjustments, controlled by interrelated regulation mechanisms. The term was coined from the Greek trans (across, beyond, on the opposite side) and stasis (to stand, posture).
The term is born in the sense of biological transistasis but most often used in the sense of sociological transistasis. Multicellular organisms require transistatic new functions in order to live beyond the reformations of the outside world ; many environmentalists believe this principle also applies to the internal environment. Many ecological, biological, and social systems are homeostatic and transistatic. They almost oppose change to maintain equilibrium but sometimes chose change to keep or get some functions or profits. If the system does not succeed in reestablishing its balance and functions, it may ultimately lead the system to stop functioning.
Complex systems, such as a human body, must have homeostasis and transistasis to maintain stability and to survive. These systems do not only have to endure to survive; they must adapt themselves and evolve to modifications of the environment.

這是我的媒體作品 – Transistasis
其實這是一個很嚴肅的話題，我利用身體的負反饋機制中的Transistasis去套用到社會學上。
視覺上我利用Transistasis的生物學定義，讓觀眾用自己的身體去找尋意思。聽覺上我運用了反映社會的新聞聲音。
事實上我希望觀眾能從視覺及聽覺溶合。理解到社會其實是一個身體，基於外來環境的改善而去互相改變增進自己。
更重要的是若再冷不正視這個「身體」，這個身體就會死去。
Transistasis暫未有中文術語，可能這就是中國唯一一個陋習。和而不同的反效果，擁有千萬年文化的中國重視和諧，
但卻偏偏忘記了就算互相制衡，也會得出美好的結果。其實，現在的中國又是否是真正的和諧呢？
留給大家去思考吧！
以下為完整全文：
Transistasis是一個系統，尤其是在所有生物體，改革其功能來維持有意義的條件的體制，由多個動態平衡作出調整，相互關聯的調控機制控制手段。這個詞是來自希臘 Trans: 跨越，超越，在另一側和 stasis 站立，姿勢 。
這個術語誕生於生物感應的層面上，但最常見於在社會學的意義上使用。多細胞生物體需要從體制中改變成新的功能，去適應重新組合過來的外來環境; 許多環保人士認為這一體制也適用於內部環境。許多生態，生物和社會系統都是在穩態和反穩態之中交錯著 。他們幾乎反對變革以維持平衡，但有時選擇了改變，以保持或得到一些功能或利潤。如果系統沒有在成功地重建其平衡和功能，它最終可能導致系統停止運作。
複雜的系統中，如人體，必須具有穩態和反穩態去保持穩定和生存。這些系統不僅要忍受生存；它們必須適應和在環境中的作出微調。
