《雲氣平衡》是一件單頻道錄像作品，透過錄像散文的形式，書寫當代社會其影像生產的慾望、雲端運算的信仰，以及影像和社會空間相互的滲透與建構。影片以半虛構的敘事，透過氣象學的雲團概念，解構政治、工業、娛樂等各種社會趨勢，將社交媒體、娛樂產業、自拍文化、雲端儲存、供應電子產業所需的稀有礦物及空氣污染等現象，組構為相互呼應、支持或反駁彼此的複雜敘事。

當大量的影像被製造、複製生成並上傳，形成過載的雲霧，在數據空間追求全面可視性的同時，因工業發展所劇增的霧霾－大氣中的懸浮顆粒，如同上載至雲端的像素，在物理空間中佔據，形成了不透明的灰幕。此錄像以詩化的口吻，描述這個無所不在的、具全面可視性的雲霧：『霎時間，雲霧已無所不在』；語帶雙關的旁白指涉著工業雲霧的上升-下降，形同雲端數據對生活空間的全面包圍，急促且使人不備。

在影像數據、人、環境相互滲透增生的渾沌中，在技術和感受共譜的實在間，原有固態的、堅固的事物已不復存在，當代生活空間所呈現的是各種流動中的不確性。液態的現代性，在此被進一步推至氣態。

Vapor Equilibrium is a single-channel video work. Through the form of video essay, it writes about the contemporary society’s desire in image production, the faith in cloud computation, as well as the mutual infiltration and construction of image and social space. The film employs a semi-fictional narrative, using the cloud concept of meteorology to deconstruct all kinds of social trends in politics, industry, and entertainment. The phenomena on social media, entertainment industry, selfie culture, cloud storage, the rare mineral required by the electronic industry, and air pollution are assembled as a complicated narrative that echo, support, or refute each other.

As immense images are produced, copied, and uploaded to form overloaded clouds and the digital space pursues a total visibility, the increasing smog due to industrial development – the particulates in the atmosphere – are like the pixels uploaded to the cloud, occupying the physical space to form an opaque gray curtain. In a poetic tone, the video portrays this omnipresent cloud with full visibility: “All of sudden, the cloud is everywhere.” The punned voice-over suggests the ascension and descension of the industrial cloud, like the data in the cloud, besieging the living space in haste and catching people unprepared.

Amidst the chaos where image data, man, and environment infiltrate and proliferate each other, amidst the reality woven by technology and sensibility, the beings that were solid and firm no longer exist, whereas what the contemporary living space manifests is an uncertainty in all sorts of flowing. The liquid modernity is hereby ascends into gaseous state.
