《透明社会：下一刻》｜许毅博 Original

Digital age • people live in relative reality, and "happily" walk on the smooth road patched up by digital information While we quietly savor the joys and sorrows of others in social media, our lives are also being chewed by others. • In this era, we seem to be gods who can control everything, but we are also controlled by everything. • This is an endless game and a strange landscape created by the digital age. Interpretation of the work (overall space): the work focuses on the room that the audience can enter. (the first space) is respectively provided with "concave and convex" 3M high corresponding keyhole devices on the opposite wall. When the audience enters the "convex" keyhole device on the right, they peep inward through the small hole. The internal image presents a delayed picture of standing in the exhibition space and peeping at the small hole. (second space) at the same time, the large "concave" lock hole on the left wall will appear synchronously, and the eyes exposed by the audience peeping at the lock hole. (third space) the audience in the "bureau" will never find the eyes behind them, and will always think that they have the non-existent initiative in the "bureau". This forms an endless peeping cycle of different dimensions. In this structure, the live audience seems to control three different dimensions, but once the audience begins to intervene in the work, they lose their identity of dominating the space. And become tiny nodes in countless units in the peep cycle. This is just like the virtual society created by fields such as artificial intelligence and big data. Interpretation of the work (human face interaction device on the right): the human face relief device above the convex keyhole device is connected by a mechanical structure and controlled by the character face recognition system. It will stay asleep in the space. When the audience enters the range of its "eyesight" (the range collected by the facial recognition system), it will always keep face to face with the nearest audience, which represents a kind of monitoring at all times. Interpretation of the work (fusion image of three walls): the image is composed of a three-stage structure: in the first section, the array composed of featureless human back is constantly creeping and changing, and the image is slowly extracted into a "bar code" image. In the era of artificial intelligence, human beings will fade their role labels. In the middle section, fuzzy Chinese and English characters appear at both ends of the wall, slowly close to each other, fuse, and gradually blur the pixel painting. Text is a reflection or hint of culture. In the era of artificial intelligence, all cultures may tend to be the same. In the tail, human limbs and organs are broken and reorganized with a large number of industrial products to form a new product of the post human era. This combination has many absurd and speculative meanings. Xu Yibo studio October 2019 project
