關於作品 / Work
〈出口〉反映數位時代的日常生活，創作靈感來自於Sherry Turkle一書《一起孤獨》。面無表情的市民，與使用中的手機有著極大對比，反映我們過度依賴虛擬通訊。市民遭吞噬的驚嚇結局意味著，沒有人能從無止盡的慾望所創造出的科技潮流下全身而退。
“Way out”, inspired by Alone Together by Sherry Turkle, is a reflection of modern life in this digital age. The exaggerated contrast between emotionless citizens and characterized phones reveals our over-dependence on virtual communication. A dramatic and extreme consequence shows a negative attitude, for which no one can escape the trend of technology that originally comes from the endless appetence of human beings.
