心之身

媒材/互動沙盤、紅外線攝影機、Unity 3D動畫、投影機

年代/ 2013

 

歷經了結婚、生子等人生體驗，我重新回到創作的原點，觀看自己一路走來的生命風景，並意會到「心」，在做為我人生的根本和核心價值下，發揮了極大的作用，它是原點、也是動力。我從「心」這個中文字的形狀發想，發現到「心」其實就是兩個對面而坐的人的造型，「心」字的形狀是從一個對稱形的圖案演變而來，自象形文字開始一直到小篆，都保有如此特徵。由於它的形狀就像是一個容器，上方有一個開口，由相對稱的兩半組合而成，是故，我將其與〈身體意識〉中所創發的鏡射人體予以結合，並以數位科技和互動漢字來進行拆解，發展出〈心之身〉兩兩鏡射相對的人體造型，建構出〈心之身〉的原型。互動的形式是讓觀者於沙盤上進行文字的寫書，再透過數位視覺投影〈心之身〉並輔以音效，來作為視覺、聽覺上的呈現與回饋。

 

The Body of the Heart
Interactive sand plate, infrared camera, Unity 3D animation, projector

After getting married and having children, I came back to my creative origin. By looking at the life I have been through, I came to understand that the “heart” at its grandest as a beginning point and drive to the foundation and core values of my life. From the shape of the Chinese character of “heart”, I discovered that it was composed by two human figures sitting facing each other. The Chinese character of “heart” is a symmetrical shape derived since pictographs to the writing from Chin Dynasty (221-206 BC), and still maintains the shape. The shape of it is a vassal with an opening on top, and the right half and left half are identical. I, then, use “body awareness” to mirror itself, and digitalize the Chinese character in order to deconstruct and interact with this human body mirroring shape in the “body of heart,” and to form the prototype of the “body of heart.” The interactive action is set to have the spectators to write in the sand plate, and to project onto “the body of heart” adding sound effects in for a visual and sound expression and feedback.
