科技上身-純愛歷練

何以成就「純愛」?

身處於這漂浮的時代,在快速的時序中迷失方向,科技演化帶來炫麗奪目,越發忙碌越是追求,卻越不知道自己身在何處, 無時無刻被空虛、寂寞與焦慮圍繞,我們的面容彷彿失去自己,身體也失去對靈魂的感受,心與自身脫離,無法傾聽自己內心與身體的真實需求。

純愛是合一性靈的信仰,是身心靈的交融。
創作是自體演繹心靈的、身體的、感知的、感性的一切總合。

科技始終來自於人性,我們如何使自己進化,認識真正的自己而不迷失在科技的華麗裡。

本作品中數字七是一個靈數:
七是輪迴數,有完滿完整(完全)之意,上帝七天造人造世界,一周有七天,七宗罪七德行,七種色彩,七小時睡眠,音階七階,ph中性數七,婚姻七年之癢,七千七百大卡等於ㄧ公斤脂肪等等,七七四十九天更是人死亡靈魂轉化的過程。

我將身體以健康為前提,進行全方位的自我改造。經由時間結合意志的磨練,精密的科學紀錄與計算,將科技之於人體的方式以塑造完美人型作為演譯。從科學性的測度與手術先進行臉部骨格的改變,回應我本身在身體度量上對於臉部的塑型。對於身體的(肉體的)形態將依本體型態進行精密測量與修正。

以運動訓練,控制飲食,調整日常習性,多面向的自我破壞與再造手段,在這七七四十九天當中重新形塑自我身體及心靈狀態,執行規則程序,以七為單位做輪迴進程創作出2.0版的全新自我達到純愛的最終體現(本體展示之終端)。

上身的科技是真實內化的、肉體的、心靈的純愛總合。



A Fusion with Technology -- The Experience of Pure Love

How does one attain “pure love”?

As part of this drifting era, in which one loses their direction within the rapid passage of time, the evolution of technology has captivated our attention. The busier we are, the more we are in pursuit, yet we don’t even know where we are (or we’ve lost our way), as we constantly find ourselves surrounded by emptiness, loneliness and anxiety. Our face is as if it has lost itself and our body has lost the feeling of a soul, heart separated from the physical form, never to hear ones’ inner thoughts and the body’s realistic needs.

Pure love is a belief that unites the spirit and is a blend of the body and soul.

Creation is the complete combination of the internal interpretation of the mind, body, perception and emotion.

Technology has always originated from humanity. We know how to evolve and get to know the true self, instead of being lost in the splendor of technology.

In this work, the number seven is a spiritual number:

Seven is a cyclical number -- it has a meaning of absolute completion and entirety. God created the earth and humans in seven days, there are seven days in a week, there are seven deadly sins and seven virtues, seven colors in the rainbow, seven hours of sleep, seven musical scales, the neutral pH is seven, seven year itch in marriage, 7,700 calories is equal to 1 kg of fat, etc., and 49 days (7 times 7) is how many days from death the soul takes to transform.

Under the premise of physical health, I will proceed with multi-faceted self improvement. Through training that combines time with mental work, sophisticated scientific recording and calculations, we will apply technology to sculpt an interpretation of the perfect human type. From scientific measurements and surgery, we will first start with changes to the facial bone, as it reflects my own perspective and standard on the facial plasticity of the body. As for the body’s physical form, we would then follow the original body type to proceed with precise measurement and correction.

Using athletic training, control of diet, adjustment of daily habits, and numerous self-destruction and reconstruction methods, we will reshape the spiritual and physical state in 49 (7 times 7) days. During this period, we will implement rules and procedures with a base of seven as cycles to progress to create a brand new version 2.0 of the pure love self, achieving the ultimate expression of the physical form (the final display of the body).

Technology of the upper body is real, internalized, and a combination of the physical, spiritiual and pure love.
