作品介紹
模擬生活始於電影及電腦遊戲,現今已影響各個領域,從建築、都市計劃、交通導航到市場和交易預測,人類行為的虛擬場景正改變我們生活的方式,馮・魏德邁的影像作品《轉化場景》預示了模擬社會群體行為可能產生的影響。本片是藝術家另一件長期創作計劃的部份呈現,該計劃以埃利亞斯.卡內堤的著作《群眾與力量》為參考依據,旨在改變現今看待社會影像、群眾控制及民眾潛力及其潛在危險的觀點。
Artworks
Simulated life began in the movies and computer games, but is influencing many fields today. In architecture, city planning, traffic navigation, and market and trade predictions, virtual scenarios of human behaviour change the way we live. Clemens von Wedemeyer's film Transformation Scenario creates a speculative narration on the impact of emulated group behaviour in society. The film is part of a long-term project by the artist making reference to the book Mass and Power (1960) by Elias Canetti, shifting the view on images of society, crowd control and the potential and danger of masses today.
