Anti-Party Machine is an interactive work based on the theory of catastrophe. The pattern of catastrophe can be viewed as the Möbius band, it indicates the ongoing loop of history, and the unity of opposites for contradiction. In this theory, catastrophe takes place when series of human activity accumulates and reached the tipping point. These activities are seemingly irrelevant but contributes to the same result.
