In this series, <Machines on the verge of a nervous breakdown>, machines with simple logic circuits make an attempt to simulate some of human neurosis that is supposed to be painfully human. This series, through the paradoxical association of neurosis and machines, is questioning about the relationship between humans and machines and exploring the boundaries between them.
Its second work, <Imprinting> shows a group of robots moving around. Yet one of the robots is compulsively attached to another specific robot in the group, following it blindly wherever it goes, which is reminiscent of obsessive-compulsive disorders such as obsessions or fixations.
