現實不在此處404: Reality Not Found

Project statement / English

Digital technology infiltrates our lives in a surreal yet subtle way, transforming everyday spaces into stages governed and observed by invisible systems. The photographs capture “anomalies” in the city—surveillance devices, advertising screens, artificial plants, and people constantly filming—revealing how technology quietly reshapes our relationship with the world. At the same time, staged still lifes turn mirrors, data cables, and time devices into symbolic “intruders,” creating a visual sense of a world experiencing a “system error.” Inspired by Hito Steyerl, Trevor Paglen, and Jon Rafman, the project poses a fundamental question: as technology permeates our perception and experience, is the world we inhabit still real, or has it already become an illusion rewritten by digital logic?

項目介紹 / 中文

數字技術並不總是突然闖入生活。更多時候，它悄無聲息地改變我們熟悉的空間，讓街道、房間和城市角落，像是逐漸進入某個看不見的系統。監控設備、廣告屏幕、仿真植物，還有不斷舉起手機拍攝的人——這些尋常景象開始顯出一點異常，也讓人與周遭世界的關係變得不再確定。

鏡子、數據線和計時裝置出現在擺拍的靜物中，像是不請自來的闖入者。它們讓畫面有了某種“系統錯誤”般的感覺：熟悉的世界還在眼前，卻彷彿已經被另一套邏輯改寫。在希托·斯泰耶爾、特雷弗·帕格倫和喬恩·拉夫曼等創作者的啟發下，這個項目留下一個無法輕易回答的問題：當技術進入我們的感知與經驗，我們所生活的世界仍然真實嗎？還是說，它早已成為數字邏輯重新編寫的幻象？
