Expanded Cinema
生命故事的演繹始終在上演,直至終章落下帷幕;電影亦無異於此。《LIFE》是個移地電影作品。該作品運用心率感測器測量估算觀影者的情感狀態,讓觀眾得以實時選擇不同的情節發展。如此一來,觀眾便能與電影即時互動,共同編織一段充滿情感交織的故事。本企劃無借助互動電影或遊戲中常見的互動方式,反而是嘗試一種基於生物識別的互動方法。
The unfolding of life stories continues present until the final curtain falls; cinema is no different in this regard. "LIFE" is an expanded cinema. The work uses heart rate sensors to estimate the emotional states of viewers, allowing them to choose different plot developments in real-time. In this way, the audience can interact with the movie instantly, weaving together an emotionally interwoven story. This project does not rely on typical interactive methods found in interactive movies or video games; rather, it explores a biometric-based approach to interaction.
心電圖(ECG)是一種與人體心率相關的生物識別技術,在情感研究的心理學領域有著廣泛應用。在《LIFE》這部作品中,心電圖數據與劇情緊密互動,劇情不會暫停等待觀眾主動作出選擇。正如我們日常生活中所經歷的種種遭遇,這些瞬息之間的決定或許可被詮釋為命運或宿命的糾葛。
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a biometric technology related to human heart rate that is widely used in the field of emotion research within psychology. In "LIFE", the ECG data interacts closely with the plots, which does not pause to wait for audience to make active choices. Much like the various encounters we experience daily, these split-second decisions may be interpreted as entanglements of fate or destiny.
《LIFE》的移動影像投射出自由、生命與死亡的象徵。觀眾透過自身的情感反應,左右著角色的生死存亡。隨著時間的流逝,觀眾的情緒反應引發劇情轉折,而劇情轉折反過來又牽動著觀眾的情感。這種微妙的相互影響構成了整個觀影體驗。觀影結束後,藝術家訪問觀眾並與他們探討整個觀影過程。這種微妙的互動關係不禁讓人深思:究竟什麼是生命?命運又是何物?
The moving images in "LIFE" represent symbols of freedom, life, and death. The audience's through their emotional reactions determine the fate of the characters. Over time, the audience's emotional responses trigger plot twists, tugging at the audience's emotions. This subtle interplay constructs the entire viewing experience. After the screening, Chan interviews audience and discusses the entire viewing process with them. This intriguing interaction prompts reflection on the nature of life and the concept of destiny.
