《Pneuma.to》是一種由符號和呼吸共同構建的流動結構,觀眾可透過呼吸來產生符號。語言作為文明的基石,隨著社會的演進而不斷變革。從奇普(Quipu)到字母系統,人類創立了眾多交流方式,記錄了自身的發展歷程。
"Pneuma.to" is a system co-created by symbols and breath, with which the audience can generate and interact with symbols through breathing. Language is the cornerstone of civilisation. It evolves as society develops. From Quipu to alphabetic systems, humans have created numerous methods of communication that document our progress throughout history.
在數位時代,我們將語言轉化成各種資訊技術標準格式。這些技術限制了我們選擇詞彙的自由,間接地改變了語言本身。在眾多電腦檔案背後,隱藏著的編碼,這些編碼標準會不時更新,但並非人人皆知。由於這些持續變化,科技使我們與自己的語言日益疏離。為了展現語法的流動性和數位語言的不確定性,《Pneuma.to》運用無線設備接收聲音,呈現了一幅扭曲的符號視覺。該設備外觀揉合了長笛和方尖碑的元素,觀眾可對著設備吹氣或說話,從而產生符號投射至指定位置。接著,在軟體運行期間,這些符號被整合至投影中,移動並組合成新的符號,等待觀眾賦予語言意義。
《Pneuma.to》在 《INSTINC D:Art Fest 2022》中被選為全球十四個地區中的《The Best of 20》。
In the digital age, we convert language into various standard information technology formats. These technologies limit our freedom to choose words and indirectly modify the nature of language. Behind computer files are mysterious codes that are regularly updated but have yet to be generally known. Because of these constant changes, technology is causing us to become increasingly alienated from our language. To demonstrate the fluidity of syntax and the uncertainty of digital language, "Pneuma.to" uses wireless devices to receive sound and create distorted symbols. The device's appearance combines flutes and obelisks; the audience can blow or speak into it, generating symbols projected onto the audience's appointed location. These symbols are then integrated into the projection during software activation, moving and combining to form new symbols, waiting for other audiences to give them meaning.
"Pneuma.to" was selected as one of the "Best of 20" in 14 global regions at the "INSTINC D:Art Fest 2022".
