眼球試驗部
我所觀注的,是藉由目的不明的試驗來捕捉虛浮感受,進而反應環境。
眼球試驗部,以測驗眼球運動的儀器切入,分為三個空間,每一空間放置一種試驗用的儀器(或說是觀看器),分別是「眼球試驗部-驗光」,「眼球試驗部-追蹤」,「眼球試驗部-對焦」,而這三種測驗儀器也分別隱喻著三種不同的現代化觀看工具和經驗-驗光機、夜視望遠鏡、視力測驗機。

這三種試驗工具為觀者創造了一種微觀的風景,並且將重複拆解又組裝的怪異情結內容放入一個似乎有過共同經驗的視覺經驗裡,觀者彷彿化身為儀器使用者,進行著畫面中正在進行的測驗。當然,作品中不斷地會有”無法直覺判斷的訊息”出現,這讓觀者不斷地將自己的位置漂浮於”儀器使用者”和”自己”之間,觀者的身體一下子融入儀器畫面之中,彷彿被儀器默默地奪走身體做著試驗,一下子因為間歇出現的對不準訊息而讓儀器又默默地將身體還給觀者,而觀者此時也感受到重新掌握自己身體,是一種”知道自己身在此地卻好像又不在”的感覺。就在這來去漂浮之間,創造了某種不可名狀的虛浮感受,而這正是我企圖捕捉的。

作品中,不斷地出現線索式的訊息,這些線索,提供觀者聯結的方向和想像,但卻往往不提供下一步驟,將觀者不斷地懸浮於空中一般,在未知的儀器觀看世界裡,如果畫面中提供的訊息以數量化為1的話,那麼畫面外似乎有著數以萬計的線索和可能性正在發生著。訊息不斷地給出,又不斷地失去作用,這是一種失焦,一種感受焦點在某處的方法,也是一種捕捉虛浮感受的方式,更是一種對於身處環境的反應。



Department of Eyeball Experimentation
My main concern is to capture an airy experience with aimless experiment, and reflect the environment.
Department of Experiment Eyeball divided into three spaces of different experiment eyeball instruments. Each spaces contains one instrument(or scope),which are “Department of Experiment Eyeball-Optometry”, “Department of Experiment Eyeball-Trace” and “Department of Experiment Eyeball-Focus”. These instruments are metaphors of three modern visual experiences and three existing instruments, the optometry machine, the night-vision horoscope and the optometric assessment machine.
These instruments create a microcosmic landscape, and put the repetitive reconstructive of odd circumstances into some déjà vu visual experiences of the viewers. The viewers become users of these instruments, taking the exams these instruments are for. Of course, messages that could not be judged with instincts appear constantly, this takes the viewers somewhere between being the instrument user and their self-identity. With the intermittence deviant messages, the viewer can be occupied by the frame of the instrument in one minute, and regain their selfhood in another. The senses of dispersal from where they are, the airy, indescribable experiences between these places are what I am trying to capture here.Messages/hints appear constantly in the pieces, and these hints provide viewers directions and imaginations, but not the next step. It’s like the viewers are floating in the air, watching the world through some unknown instruments. If there is one single message in the frame, there are numerous unsaid messages and possibilities tacking places outside of it. The providing and voiding of messages is a kind of focus losing, it’s a way of sensing the focus is somewhere out there, a way of capturing airy experience, moreover, a reflection of the environment.
