Mr. Fanatic

Artwork description:

“Unreal and real”, is a topic that I am very interested in. At our age, we always have some temptations, and when fully addicted to it, it is difficult to separate the world between true and false.

In this work, I regard myself as a research subject, because esports are my deepest feeling, when I am addicted to virtual games, my real self is the remaining body, unconscious. My main material is clear tape, and the idea comes from light because indulging to this state reminds me of light, it does exist but is abstract. I use transparent tape around the whole body, to create a 1:1 myself. Then I cut off the transparent tape to become a body like light or shadow. I also connected the transparent human body and the illusory world with the transparent tape. Every transparent skin is a kind of virtual information or data, which was strongly pulled by the illusory world.

Through this transparent shadow, I ask myself and ask the people in our age, whether the world is true or false, are we still aware?

作品描述：

虛幻和真實，是我一種很感興趣的一個題目。 像我們這樣的年紀，總擁有著一些誘惑，當充分沉迷於其中，就很難分別世界的真和假。

這個作品中，我以自己作為一個研究對象，因為電子競技的是我感受深刻的，當自己沉迷虛擬的遊戲中，真實的自己只剩下軀殼，沒有意識。 我的主要材料是透明膠帶，這個主意是來源於光，因為沉迷這種狀態會讓我聯想到光，它確實存在，但卻很抽象。 我用透明膠帶圍繞著整個軀體，打造一個1：1的自己。 再將透明膠帶剪下來，成為自己的一個像光一樣的軀殼或者是影子，我還用透明膠帶將這個透明的自己和虛幻的世界連接起來，身上的每一道透明的肌膚都是一種虛擬的資訊或者數據，被虛幻的世界強烈的拉扯著。

我透過這個透明的軀殼問自己，或者問我們這個年代的人是意識存在還是軀體存在？
