Nat,Niu: 當我和你老去When I’m getting older with you

當我和你老去－給電傳時代的當下

在當代媒體影像中的「現場」魅力，似乎意在召喚「此時此地」的真實魂魄：要能如實顯現了事發地點，也還原到事件發生的時間點。這種「現場」感的影像操作，為了將觀眾置入「事件」中，通常安排被攝主體(記者)以第一人稱的姿態涉入場景，成為情境的一環，也因此前述的事件真實性，在被攝者的影像化的過程中同時被片斷化。

在這系列的作品中，我將「記者」這個角色引至兩個相對的位置－訊息發話者與接收者。在類比即時新聞的畫面中，她以我們熟悉的播報姿態出現，但在抽離事件現場後，她即成為螢幕前觀眾的替身－那些訊息代表得事件本身已與他無關，交錯龐雜的資訊渠道吞沒辨識事件的能力，引發無話可說的痙孿。

所謂的「永恆」，在當今媒體界面上的鋪陳，已縮為一個光點(Pixel)閃滅的時間，每一個當下經過一秒即成過去，而我們又急於預告未來，對此刻的存在感是建立於兩邊拉扯的焦慮上。我將觀者的情感輕放至一個日常循環的媒體畫面，試圖在生活當下和新聞現場兩個不同時空的重疊拉扯之間，引發出無可名狀的滯留狀態，是對媒體之下的「即時」和「永恆」提問，也表述了我們生活周遭流通交換的訊息正以拼貼、失速的樣態蔓延－如同過度擴張的觸角，它能觸及的騷動僅只於皮表，速食填塞式的閱讀過程比接收訊息本身更為真實與熟悉。

In this series of works, I do not focus on the critical notion, or a gesture of resistance to the popular media. But from everyday life, amplification of certain moments, those reflect the appearance of our lives which are coexisting with media, and the indescribable static situations accompanied by. In which we have consciousness of self-perception, but the feeling is locked to the external world.

We rely on the transmission of message to determine our position, the speed of its transmission to measure our level. However, due to the openness of exchanging message, the event behind the information has converted to superficial reading. We have a sense of familiarity with the event is not because of our experience in before, but it has expanded by the message, even it’s only a line of flashing text.

Live-time is not this moment, the eternal prophecy of the screen has become a fleeting spot. To gaze at the moment we exist is the concept of my works.
