心理功能失調（Psychological Dysfunction）是指認知、情緒或行為功能上的衰變。包括幻覺，與現實脫節的思維過程(常見於精神分裂症以及其他重度精神障礙)。(馬克杜蘭德《異常心理學》)

人們的心理活動常隨著外界環境的變化而變化，正常與異常也是相對的，且相互演變、相互移行，沒有絕對的正常和異常。即使心理健康的人，在一定場合或特定的時間內，心理活動也會出現程度不同、持續時間長短不一的失調。

這件多屏幕影像作品採用電腦生成和實拍結合的方法，注重六個屏幕之間的變化、流動，與音頻隨視頻的變化產生的立體聲的共振感，以達到“短暫的異常”。

Psychological Dysfunction refers to a breakdown in cognitive, emotional, or behavioral functioning.(V. Mark Durand)

People's mental activity often changes with changes in their external environment; normal and abnormal are counter-parts, mutually evolving and changing; there is no absolute normal or abnormal. Even psychologically healthy people, in certain situations or for specific periods, may temporarily show different levels of mental activity, of variable duration.

This multiple-screen image combines a computer generated graphic with shots. It mainly focuses on the dynamic flow of the six screens and the resonance of the sound frequency, generated by the changing videos , designed to allow viewers to experience such a "temporary exception" through synesthetic sensory stimulation.

曲倩雯的《機密錄：雙城》建構了一個虛構的故事：九龍寨城從未消失，只是掩藏在地下。由人工智能接管的城市，與變為人類最終防線的地下九龍寨城 －－ 數據遊走於兩個巨大的城市記憶體之間，往後的世界將又如何？藝術家將帶領觀眾進行一場特殊的符控流域之旅。

Confidential Record: Dual Metropolitans by Vvzela Kook is based on a makeup story – in revealing of a big secret that Kowloon Walled City was never gone, it is just hidden under the ground. The city governed by artificial intelligence, and the underground Kowloon Walled City became the last defense of all human being ------ huge data flows between these two gigantic memory systems, how the future world would become? Integrating with sound/music, visual and new media, artist will take audience through an exceptional cyber city journey.

Throughout the past hundred years, Kowloon Walled City mostly worked as a community that with military and political function, it maximized the ability of improvisation and compatibility, and finally developed into a huge and comprehensive urban system. The issue of governance of the site which had permitted the unfettered development of these few hectares was finally resolved and the decades of growth ended.In this project I’m trying to make an audacious assumption: Scientist Ray Kurzweil define the acceleration of development of technology as Law of Accelerating Returns. He thinks that human could make the progress of the entire 20th century with only 20 years in 21 century. People think that technology develops linearly, but what if it is growing exponentially, and we are here right before the “explosion”, what will happen decades later might threat all human being. And what happen if Kowloon Walled city still exist in this hypothesis? What functions will it have, what progress will it have made? What kind of role will it play between artificial intelligence and human?
