阿斯卡是一片混合著真實與虛擬的土地,在阿斯卡中,虛構與真實的邊界是模糊的。正如同許多真實或幻想的情境或事件被挪移複製於遊戲空間中共存一般,此作以首爾做為一個標的,揉雜了南韓古老的舊城、新的金融區、圍繞著城市的山丘及南北韓的邊界共同存在。作品亦調查了年輕一代於網路世界中的生活樣態及其與真實世界的連結。影片中所採集的資料來自於南韓遊戲玩家、虛擬實境專家、網路成癮戒斷中心的醫師及礦物學家的專訪。

在作品中,一位年輕女性的聲音帶我們穿過邊界,並且娓娓道來科學家們對於宇宙緣起論述和那些數位科技的物質組成。在作品中,阿斯卡的邊界是無法被經歷的,他是對於認同的掙扎與抵抗,經過達爾文的物競天擇,脆弱的平衡才可能暫存於此殘酷且巨大的宇宙中。

Ascar is a land mixed with reality and ction. In Ascar, the border between ction and reality is blurred, just as many real or fanaticized scenarios or events are appropriated and copied to game space and coexist. This work takes Seoul as a target and mixes the ancient city, the new nancial district, the hill that sur- rounds the city of the South Korea with the North-South Korea border. The work investigates as well the life styles of young generation and their connections to the real world. The materials collected in the lm come from the interviews of the South Korean game player, expert in virtual reality, the doctor in the Internet ad- diction rehabilitation center, and mineralogist.

There is a young female voice in the work, guiding us through the border, and recounting scientists’ theories about the origin of the universe and of the material composition of digital technology. In the work, the borders of Ascar are untraversable. It is the struggle for identity and resistance, the fragile balance that can only live shortly in this cruel, immense universe through Darwinian sur- vival of the ttest.
