The digitally controlled three-axis mechanism carries and drives around one light spot, which moves in a dark three-dimensional space to create virtual images of objects. However, “light” does not leave any physical trace behind, so the visualized objects disappear right after they are created. The effort-in-vain process reverses our habitual vision and offers a dialogue between viewing and knowing. What is the final picture when the light spot slowly moves around the dark space with mechanical precision? If we look closely at how the mechanical installation functions, it is like a ritualistic process starting from here to approach something. Through the installation and image, the light spot of flowing uncertainty is crystalized into a fixed image where time is superimposed. It thus encourages viewers to experience the transformation of physical perception and conceptual awareness as it provides a discussion on spiritual pursuit and philosophical belief.
「淨.境」透過數位控制的三軸機構來載運驅動一光點,光點在黯黑的三維空間中移行以繪製虛擬物件,而「光」卻沒有留下可參照的物理性存在,原本預定被實踐的型體發生後隨即消失,而這種看似徒勞且虛無的過程,逆反了視覺觀看的慣性,探討看與認知之間的連結關係。
當黯黑空間中的光點緩緩位移,精確控制的機械性運行,那將會完成什麼呢?若凝視這機械裝置的運作,便是開啟了趨近某物的過程,如同進行儀式一般。透過裝置和影像的配置,光點由流動的未明狀態到時間堆疊的定格顯像,引領觀者經驗身體感知與心念識想的變化,從而產生許多二元的對照和觀察,像是動與靜、主與從、具象與抽象、實存與虛空、外在的舉措與內在的心象等等,藉此展開精神層面和哲學思維的討論。而識見那機械裝置以光所繪製的景物,是否就是我們所嚮往的極境?對我來說,由專注進而脫離現實的片刻,同時感到平靜,這樣的狀態或許就是最圓滿的境地。
“Crystalline · Realm” explores the intersection of structural precision and ethereal wonder. This exhibition invites the viewer into a sanctuary of light and geometry, where the clarity of “crystalline” forms reflects the complexity of the human spirit.
