《空Vacuum- 台北數位藝術中心成果展》為台北數位藝術中心之創意整合實驗室開館一年多來的心血結晶，有著全台首屈一指的創意整合實驗室，台北數位藝術中心的展覽更是數位藝術圈中具高度實驗性的先驅。《空Vacuum》本展覽名稱同時也代表了台北數位藝術中心的當下狀態，空的狀態意指自身定位與外界壓力不平等時，希望外界其他力量的參與注入得以消弭此不平衡之狀態。台北數位藝術中心相信未來中心以數位藝術之平台角色可以融會藝術、創意、表演、科技等多方面跨領域的結合，將數位藝術之層次作提升。 本次展出的作品之一《Are You Clear? 》透過人們常以約定俗成的想像判斷真相的這個觀念，藉由觀者觸碰和旋轉裝置載具等動作的改變，產生介入虛擬世界中的事實，並與虛擬空間產生了連結與互動。 人在觀看全景影像的認知總是憑藉著既定的經驗去想像，我們自以為是的認為清楚的影像即是真相，我們經常以偏概全認定眼前所見的事物，以全蓋偏的謬誤推斷。當你真正看清楚了那一個spot，才會發現一切只是自己的想像，但那想像在視點轉換時，便開始質疑什麼才是具真實性的。淺層地觀看形體的表像和物件背後的意涵皆可能存在同一層次的荒謬反差，刻意營造、矯飾、偶發、有(無)意識等等行為同時發生，我們的辨別需超乎社會規範與真理，此作品〈你真的清楚嗎?〉試圖表現事件判斷的反差和不確定性。觀眾會在一種《Are You Clear? 》的擬真世界中體會到與虛擬人物互動的不確定感。在《意識的溫度》這件作品中轉化溫度的提升作為對自由意識的認同行動。觀眾於作品前會看到模糊的畫面裡有人物虛擬形象的投射，當自身想靠近時模糊的身影作出一個動作，當觀眾也認同此理念時，即可作出相同動作與投射人影產生互動。本次唯一的動畫作品《REVERB》為使用敘事性結構的表現手法，透過後設認知進行藝術家個人反思自我認知過程，將主角反射於自身。 台北數位藝術中心成果展以對數位藝術未來的發展、數位技術應用及無限創意的發想空間為觀眾帶來本次《空Vacuum- 台北數位藝術中心成果展》擬真世界般的虛幻體驗。

 

Concept
《Vacuum- Exhibition of Digital Art Center, Taipei》is a presentation of Creative Club Lab, DAC one-year-long of hard work. CCL is one of the best lab in Taiwan which holds highly experimental and pioneering exhibitions.  《Vacuum》is also a description of the current condition of DAC. It’s an indication of the unbalance struggling between the position of DAC herself and ambient pressure. The participation of outer sources is thus hoping to eliminate the unbalance. In the future, DAC will work as a platform of the combination of art, creativity, performance and technology that will eventually promote digital art.       
《Are You Clear? 》is one of the artpiece of this exhibition, it delivers the idea that people normally make judgment according to habitual imagination. By the transforming of motions through touches and rotation of the implement, a virtual reality is thus created for further interaction and connection.

The perception of a panorama bases on our imagination of existing experiences. We simply assume what we have seen as the truth and easily jump into conclusions full of biases and narrow viewpoints. However, when it comes to the time to actually see through a spot, one will realize what one has done built upon nothing but imagination. We start to question what reality is as we change our perspective. A ridiculous contrast might coexist both in the shallow perception of surface and the meaning beyond it. Movements of purpose, correction, incidents and actions with conscious or not all take place simultaneously. Differences should be made beyond rules and criteria. 《Are You Clear? 》intends to indicate the contrasty and uncertainty of judgments. Viewers will also experience the uncertainty when interacting with virtual characters. 《Temperature of awareness》《意識的溫度》is a recognition of freedom via the transformation of the warmth. One will see a vague projection of a virtual character as one step forward. When moving closer, the vague projection will change synchronously. Once agree with the idea, an identical projection will be presented according to physical motions. Moreover,《REVERB》 is the only animation picture telling story in the form of narration. It is a reflection of the procedure of self-examination of the artist himself/herself.  《Vacuum- Exhibition of Digital Art Center, Taipei》 will lead people into a world of virtual reality on behalf of the development of digital art, the utilization of digital technology and the infinite creativity of art in the future.
