旁觀的視界 - 虛時空下的延伸
Distance of Seeing - The Extensions of Virtual World
摘要
藝術作品本身會形成一個獨立的時空，我稱之為「虛時空」，在這個時空下我們都是旁觀者。「旁觀」有著一種距離的感受，也因為這一層距離使得作品與觀眾之間有著更多的想像空間，而旁觀賦予了觀看的自由性，也因為這種自由性讓觀者產生自身內在的觀點，並且由自身的經歷、領悟、背景、文化等等因素，產生了不同的解讀與思考。 在本文裡首先會先將旁觀的「視界」、「虛時空」這兩個名詞從物理學的角度切入創作論述中。在基本的解釋及定義後透過這兩個重點關鍵字，去解讀過去自身的創作脈絡以及接下來新作品的論述。透過旁觀的方式來看待作品，讓作品自己醞釀並給出資訊，最後再延伸到當代影像上我們要如何觀看影像的另外一種可能。 在本論述中也從自身過去的創作經驗開始找尋脈絡，由物理性的觀點、視角變化性的延伸，及錄像作品與觀賞者之間的相對關係。以錄像作品《旁觀者》呈現三層觀看關係的時空架構，我們在觀看作品本身的同時也是作品的一部分。透過這種方式使觀賞者反思我們為何要觀看，以及我們如何觀看。

An artwork itself will form an independent space-time continuum. I called it “Virtual World”. We are observer under this space-time continuum. “Observing”, indicates a kind of feeling from a distance, and it is due to the distance that more space of imagination grows between the artwork and the viewer. “Observing” gives freedom to the act of seeing, and viewers will generate their inner views out of these freedom. Furthermore, the viewer’s own experiences, understanding, background, culture and other reasons, produced differ interpretation and thinking. In the beginning of this thesis, the two terms “Seeing” and “Virtual World” will be pointed from the perspective of physics. After basic explanations and definitions, my own creative context and artist statement of my new work will be interpreted through the two keywords. The argument started from looking at artwork through seeing in a distance, and then proceed to the argument of allowing artwork to generate and release it's own information, and finally extend to the other possibility of seeing moving images, in the context of contemporary moving images. I tried to look for a context from my own creative experiences in this thesis, from the physicality of camera’s view to extension of changes in perspective, as well as the relation between video works and viewers. 《Bystander》, a video work revealing space-time continuum of relations on seeing in three layers, also indicates that we who are seeing the work are part of the work at the same time. Viewers would re-examine why we see and how we see through this form of seeing.
