The artist describes being frequently trapped by endless information from games, short videos, and daily routines to avoid being disconnected. Yet, this constant cycle crated debilitating anxiety.

The games in the video are all in Chinese, but sounds, images, actions, icons and the feeling of being Human (Android) connect us all together.
