This video tries to poetize mixed concepts of the biological past, present, and future realities through an animated presentation.

The video is inspired initially by one past exhibition in 2012 in the Wellcome Collection in London. The topic of the exhibition is “Superhuman”, and it explored the extraordinary ways people have sought to improve, adapt and enhance their bodies’ performance. The idea of the video Do Not Drink Water From Electronic Ocean is to imagine how human biology will develop in future, at the same time the past circuits and brings everything back to form a big cycle of lives. The video uses references from different resources. One of the ideas comes from professor Yuval Noah Harari’s assumption: “humans will become God-like cyborgs within 200 years”. The video pictures futuristic scenarios from reproducing historical paintings. And actors in the video have a special makeup to make them look like cyborg humans.
The title of the video implies a dystopian opinion that the nature of life was polluted by wastes from electronics manufacturing.
