2.14 金牛犢
The Golden Calf
邵志飛|Jeffrey Shaw

1994/2018

這件於1994年面世、應用擴增實境技術的先導之作,觀眾手握螢幕,畫面中出現的虛擬金牛犢,仿似置於現場的底座之上。只要將螢幕圍繞底座郁動,就能以不同角度鑑賞金牛犢。聖經中的金牛犢,是將動物當作偶像崇拜;這件作品的金牛犢,則是對科技的崇拜,沒有實體,弔詭矜奇。此作的2018年版本,底座內藏有四個微型鏡頭,即時攝錄現場環境和觀眾,同步放到犢身之上,有如金色外殼的倒影。

In this pioneering 1994 augmented reality artwork, the viewer handholds a video screen that shows a computer-generated golden calf standing on top of a physical pedestal situated in the exhibition space. Moving the screen around the pedestal allows the viewer to examine this virtual golden calf from all angles. While the biblical golden calf is an idolatrous object of animal worship, the golden calf in this artwork can be interpreted as the veneration of technology whose immateriality is both compelling and uncanny.In the 2018 version of the Golden Calf, four tiny cameras embedded in the pedestal enables the live video image of the exhibition environment and its inhabitants to be mirrored onto the golden skin of the calf.
