非决定型人格综合体1号,2023



The work continues my recent exploration of the expression of emotional aspects in computing technology, as well as my interest in the history of computer graphics and their relationship with entertainment, science, and finance. Similar to the supercomputer-trinity Magi in "Neon Genesis Evangelion," the work is conceptually conceived as a decision-making machine and embodies one of three personalities. The installation of the work takes the form of a large DIY open computer chassis, combining elements from culture, history, and personal experience to explore the evolution of graphics cards from their initial limited use in image processing and video gaming to their current role as the key technology permeating various fields such as artificial intelligence, scientific computing, and finance. Through cultural elements and fictional narratives, the work also explores the potential connection between parallel computing technology and emotions in the post-human era.

作品延续我近年来对计算技术在情感层面的表达,以及计算机显卡历史及其与娱乐、科学与金融之间关系的线索。类似《EVA》中三位一体的超级计算机Magi,作品在概念上被设定为一台决策机器,并具备三重人格中的其中一层。作品装置结构为一台大型DIY开放式电脑主机,对文化、历史与个人历史元素进行组合,探索计算机显卡从最初仅限于图形处理与游戏应用,到现今逐渐演变为渗透人工智能、科学计算和金融等多个领域的关键技术。藉由文化元素和虚构叙事,作品亦探索并行计算技术与后人类时代情感联结的可能性话题。
