沃羅諾伊的猜想2Voronoi Guess 2

作品介紹

沃羅諾伊是一種空間分割的演算法，分割後的空間區塊相互之間維持一種等距平衡的關係，而此空間的配置關係，與自然界中的許多區塊圖像相似，代表在看似平常的區塊配置中，其實背後仍然依循一種規律在運作。作品《沃羅諾伊的猜想2》結合沃羅諾伊空間分割及摺紙理論所衍生的猜想，探索「在沃羅諾伊空間分割圖中，是否每個分割多邊形都存在著內切圓。」意即是否可以利用摺紙摺出沃羅諾伊空間分割圖，是一種猜測，也是一種實驗與驗證。多邊形是否存在著內切圓，將關係到是否可以透過摺紙方法來完成。

在科技及數據大量進展的時代中，我們的存在與習以為常的生活中，人與人的關係，是否正依循著某種規律在運行，也因此許多人提出各種的猜想，但是有些猜想直覺認為應該是這樣，卻是很難證明。因此，希望藉由從數理及摺紙的觀察體驗，來引起對於猜想的討論，來反映出自身存在於世界中，本身就充滿各種的猜想，或是自己就是一種規律，但是卻是難以證明。

Artworks

Voronoi is an algorithm of partitioning a plane into regions while maintaining an equal distance and balance between each region. The configuration resembles many natural regions, indicating that there is still an operating pattern even in the seemingly ordinary spatial configuration. Voronoi Guess 2 displays the artist’s exploration of combining Voronoi partition and origami as he attempts to find out “if there exists an inscribed circle within each polygon derived from Voronoi partition.” The attempt is simultaneously a hypothesis as well as an experiment and a verification because the existence of inscribed circles within polygons will determine whether it is possible to perform Voronoi partition through origami.

In an era of rapid technological development and massive data, is there a pattern dictating our existence, our ordinary life and the relationships between people? Many people have ventured their guesses; however, some guesses are based on intuition and are still difficult to prove. Therefore, the artist hopes to prompt discussions about these guesses through mathematical and origami observation and experience. Moreover, the work reflects how the world we dwell in is itself filled with innumerous guesses; perhaps we are precisely the underlying pattern that cannot be proven.
