Visual Vibrations_ Template

  

  

by Lee Ying Yuk Andries


In the past decade, technology and knowledge have been developing and discovering rapidly. Many templates now exist in numerous forms including both hardware and software. Simply like a standard guideline, templates have created boundaries for people which will limit human being’s creation and development. Templates indeed have the value with repeated application or being implemented in many aspects (from individual to social level) in different period of our lives. However, it is not difficult to find their common spirit; they do look different, have the same function. From economical to political, religious to cultural; templates can be found anywhere easily.

To some extend, human beings are always likely to be influenced by those standard values, building up a reliance on them in order to obtain a sense of being secured. We get used to those standard values, and numbly follow it. As a result, our own identity and thought towards our live will diminish gradually. I used concept books as the media to present this idea. With repeated contents in the reading process, I wish to let people to have a chance to find out and re-think about this social phenomenon from cultural aspects to their own life.

最近的十多年來，無論在科技上和知識上的開發和發展都極速發展，在硬件和軟件上都出現很多「範例」供人參考。「範例」有如一個固定指標，形成了一個界限，限制了人類的創作和發展；同時「範例」也代表著在我們生活中不同時段、不同層面(由個人到社會)的重複發生和執行，但同時間我們又很難去發現其共通點。儘管外貌不一，這些在不同領域裡的「範例」有著共同的功能；由經濟到政治，宗教到文化，「範例」隨處可見。

再作伸延，人類好像被一些既定觀念而影響，為求安全而在這些觀念上建立信任，因而麻木地跟隨。漸漸地人在生活中便開始失去個人特性和想法。在這個作品中，希望透過三本概念性刊物，表達以上想法。在閱讀本作品的過程中，利用不斷重複的內容，讓人有機會從文化到個人生活中，尋求和重新思考這個「範例」衍生出來的社會現象。
