英國藝術家伊旺‧古德的作品《二進制愛戀》將我們所居處的主要空間安置於科技所創造的虛擬空間中,影像情節在WIFI連接上全球網路後,兩位男女主角在交友軟體完美配對的提示下,展開的一場介於真實與虛擬間夢境般的愛戀探險。
伊旺的作品以影像的語言討論了今日人類在不斷變化的環境中自身的生存處境。在科技的高速發展下,我們在生命中同時身兼了被創造物與造物者的雙重角色。影像內容針對數位時代探討此雙重角色和人與人之間的親密性,同時也提醒我們每日所面對的環境同時是由我們自身所不斷擾動的。我們形塑我們與所有對象的互動關係與價值認同,同時我們也被我們所塑造的技術環境回返深入至我們最為私密、最為個人的情感連結。
British artist Ewan Golder’s artwork, Binary Love, allocates the main space we reside into the virtual space created by technology. The video plot progresses after connected to the World Wide Web via Wi-Fi, in which the male and female protagonists, prompted by the perfect match on a dating app, engage a dream-like romantic venture in between reality and fiction.
Ewan’s work talks about the survival condition of humanity in the ever-changing environment today in the language of image. Thanks to the rapid development of technology, we live a dual role of creation and creator in our lives. The content of the images investigates this dual role and the intimacy among people in the digital era, and reminds us at the same time that the environment we are situated in is constantly disturbed by ourselves. We shape the interaction and value identity of the people we deal with. Meanwhile, we are probed by the very technological environment we shape into our most intimate, most personal emotional connections.
