Ghost orchid in the machine

Artist Rachel Youn creates kinetic sculptures from used electronic devices and artificial flowers, including a 'Ghost orchid' sculpture that animates an artificial orchid with a motor from a neck massager. This art piece explores themes of human presence and sexuality. The use of repurposed technology adds a layer of commentary on consumerism. The sculpture is part of a larger series called Perfect Lovers II. The art piece can be seen at a gallery, but the full story is available at The Verge.
