2016 第三部 Part 3 電腦動畫 2580 x 1080 影片
Computer-aided animation, 2580 x 1080 video, 30m15s
〈新山海經〉系列參照中國遠古神話經典〈山海經〉，將傳統水墨轉化為動畫，以亙古角度審視現代文明。〈新山海經3〉探討互聯網給人類帶來的迷思:一個被虛擬全息圖象包圍，有如廢墟的城市，虛擬與現實重疊混淆;人沈溺於虛擬娛樂和自製的虛幻世界，真實生活則只有枯燥乏味的工作;兩個世界差天共地，最終令虛擬世界崩潰。作品展現虛擬和現實之間的矛盾糾纏，質疑現今資訊科技發達的吊詭。現場展示的畫作來自〈新山海經1〉。
The New Book of Mountains and Seas series,alluding to the ancient Chinese myth collection Classic of Mountains and Seas, transforms a traditional ink wash painting into digital animation in order to examine issues of modern civilization from the perspective of ancient culture. The New Book of Mountains and Seas Part 3 explores the myth the internet has created for humans. The city surrounded by virtual holographic images presents a wasteland in which virtuality and reality are juxtaposed and yet blended. Ultimately, the contrast between indulging in virtual entertainment and participating in the mundane, arduous task of real life undermines and destroys the surreal world. The work demonstrates the intricate, sometimes contradictory, relation between virtuality and reality, focusing on the dilemma of contemporary information technology advancement. The accompanying drawings come from The New Book of Mountain and Seas Part 1.
