《散光 700—36.0-37.3》延续了“散光”系列,但以一种全新的方式探讨了感知与个体身份之间的关系。作品以热成像仪下的自我肖像为基础,通过多层次的光影实验和数据化标注,展现了一种剥离传统身份概念后的视觉体验。在这一创作中,温度成为主要的视觉语言,象征着在机械化视角下,性别、社会阶层等旧有身份标识被模糊化,取而代之的是一种新的观察系统。通过这一方式,作品质疑了传统视觉美学,并试图探索技术与人类感知的交互可能性。
Astigmatism 700—36.0–37.3 continues the exploration initiated in the Astigmatism series, yet it approaches the relationship between perception and individual identity in a wholly novel manner. Centered on a self-portrait rendered via thermal imaging, the work employs a multi-layered interplay of light and shadow, augmented by data-driven annotations, to present a visual experience that transcends conventional notions of identity. In this context, temperature becomes the primary visual language, symbolizing the erosion of traditional identity markers such as gender and social class under a mechanized gaze, and giving way to a new observational paradigm. In doing so, the work interrogates established visual aesthetics and probes the interactive potential between technology and human perception.
