剩餘價值 / The Remains of the Day

 

在人體器官中，大腸吸收小腸餘留下來的營養及水份，象徵著剩餘價值。觀者在進入作品時，配戴呼吸及心跳的感應器。藉由人的呼吸、心跳能讓光線產生指示及對話，而有機狀的編織物暗喻著觀眾被器官所包覆。觀眾在進入空間後，由感應器接收其生理訊號，讓光的顏色、明暗、頻率隨之改變，帶來視覺上的獨特經驗和感受。消化系統的裝置至此將告一段落，觀眾可以在此沈澱這趟樣貌多變的感官與心靈旅程，反思屬於自己的價值。

 

The large intestine absorbs the residual nutrition and water from the matter moved through the small intestine. The residues symbolize the surplus value. Before the viewers enter the room in which the work is exhibited, they will be equipped with breath- and pulse-sensors. The sensors are able to instruct the lighting installation to point out directions and therefore engage in dialogues with the viewers. The organic texture of the work implies that the viewers are encapsulated by the organ. After the viewers enter the exhibition room, the sensors will receive their physiological signals that change the color, brightness, and frequency of light, and thereby bring the viewers peculiar feelings and sensations. The journey through the digestive system ends with this work. The viewers are allowed to linger in the exhibition venue and review the multi-faceted sensory and spiritual journey. By doing so, they may reflect on their own value amidst the conversion between the inner and outer worlds.
