此創作的動機是生活中突如其來的許多健康問題,疾病在家人、朋友和自己身上相繼發生,不正常的細胞和外來的病菌在體內大量的增生和流竄,吸吮著身體上的每一寸營養,隨著時間擴大也漸漸的佈滿,面對這般無法控制的勢力形成,也只能任由牠們佔領。這些微生物迅速的擴張,大量的攻城略地,從一變成二,再分裂成四、十六……,以等比級數的方式複製繁衍;或許這是生物延續生存的一種原始方式,但對於被寄生感染的生命體來說卻是逐漸走向死亡,人類面對疾病、而地球面對人類、科技與環境,彼此互相侵略以強迫獲取方式延續生命,而對於生態圈來說,一個區域內原先存留著既有的大量原生物種,通常對於外來客的侵入所帶來的威脅無抵抗力,就像中世紀時在歐洲爆發的黑死病,從中東而來的老鼠帶著病菌侵入歐洲世界,病菌從老鼠身上帶給了人,人經由接觸傳給了更多的人,感染行為也就此展開,病菌得以繁衍。
作品當中,主要討論被寄生物體(宿主)對面寄生物侵入的無力感,試著以生物體(植物) 和非生物體(冷陰極燈管),表示雙方的關係。在另一層的意義上,此創作計畫未來將選擇用藝術家的身體直接入侵不同地域進行調查和創作,並主要以特定地區和生活文化息息相關的在地原生物種作為生命載體,在未來與不同地域性的植物生命體產生”科技感染”。 裝置作品裡,運用大量的植物作為創作的材料,冰冷的媒材-冷陰極燈管(CCFL)刺穿莖葉,經由植物體內富含水分的維管束和纖維傳導電力,讓這些侵入的物件發光 <如下圖>。在裝置底下藏放有高壓電放大晶片電路,輸出微小電流經由植物繁密的細根傳導至末梢莖、葉的每一處,讓電子撞擊燈管延續光量,使光呈現的狀態和生命體的狀態共同消長,但然當隨著宿主凋零死亡,水分喪失殆盡,不斷吸吮生命的另一方(光) 也跟著消失,感染行為隨之結束。
The motivation of this installation is from various health related problems happening in my life. The illness of family members, friends and myself occurred one by one. The abnormal cells and invasive bacteria gradually proliferate, duplicate and fled, suck out the nutrition of the body inch by inch and spread with the time. There was almost nothing you can do to control the process. Maybe it is a primitive way of biological continuation of survival, but it is also become a way for the host to walk toward death. People facing the illness just like the Earth facing human being and technology, forced the aggression with each other to obtain the continuation of life . For the ecosystem, the huge amount of native species exist in an area usually lack of immunity toward the invasion of outside species. For example, just like the Plague outbreak in Europe during the Middle Ages, the mouse from Middle East carrying the virus and anabasis Europe. The virus infected the human being, the human being then pass it to more human being. The infectious disease therefore exploded and the virus proliferated.This installation primly discuss the powerless of the object which been parasitizing(host)when facing the invasion. Interpret the relationship between the living species(vegetations)and the non-living objects(Cold-cathode Fluorescent Lamp, CCFL). In the sense of another level, this project of creation chose to use the artist's human body as a parasite to anabasis different sites for investigation and creation. Using the local native species as the host and produce a "Tech-Infection" atmosphere in different sites.
In this installation, using a huge amount of vegetations as the material and pierce the stems and leaves with cold hearted material - CCFL. Conducted power through the high water content vascular bundle and fiber to light up the invasive object (see figure) . There are hidden high-voltage amplification chip circuit under the installation can deliver small current of electricity through the vegetations' dense fine root to the distal of every stem and leaves. Using the electrons to hit the lamp to continuing the light. The brightness of the light will be jointly fluctuate with the status of the vegetations. When the host fade and died, the water will be depleted and the light will be dim and gone. The acts of infection come to an end.
