Duplex Transmission 雙向傳輸

Duplex Transmission was performed on 18 May 2019 at LAB Creative Lab, Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in Taipei, inside the Agravic Starry Sky exhibition, co-organized by Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, Jut Art Museum, and the British Council. The audience stood among hanging fiber-optic strands. I turned each smartphone screen into a cockpit: a set of controls that let people send messages into the room and shape the sound as it traveled around them. A multi-channel system carried those responses back, so the exchange ran in both directions.

The piece explores how digital interfaces influence our work, interactions, and perception of our environment. It focuses on the mobile devices that people already carry with them.

《雙向傳輸 Duplex Transmission》於 2019 年 5 月 18 日在松山文創園區 LAB 創意實驗室演出，是《無重力星空》展覽的表演節目之一，由松山文創園區、忠泰美術館與英國文化協會共同舉辦。觀眾站在垂掛的光纖之間。我把每支手機螢幕變成一個駕駛艙：觀眾用它送出訊息、改變聲音在空間裡的走向，多聲道系統再把結果送回現場，訊號在兩個方向之間往返。

這件作品關注於數位介面如何改變我們工作、相處與理解環境的方式。這裡的樂器，就是大家原本就帶在身上的行動裝置。
