相較於上個世代是以透過一定的積極努力就能換取等值成果的狀態，現今生活因為科技的日新月異而變得方便甚至輕而易舉，似乎不再需要像過往那樣的積極地去努力就能得到成果。假如對於自己在積極什麼不加以思索，漸漸地積極就會變成一種包袱，為了眼前立馬生效的成果而出現如同表皮一般的積極，這樣工具化的積極會逐漸使我們無法乘載最初想要達成的目標，感知是否會因此變得支離破碎？

 

  創作並不是為了可以解決什麼事情，這樣的說法並不是說創作無用或是不實際，因為創作是有效的之於人，包含對於創作者自身，所以處在這樣容易被表皮積極給誘惑的時代下，我試圖透過創作與作品促使大家停下腳步，來看看身邊周圍微不足道、再熟悉不過的事物；是否還有別的面向的價值可以讓我們去了解，並且藉由一種止步於感受那般無法言語的狀態，進而產生質疑來喚醒我們的感受。希望在觀看我的作品的同時能在這樣的生活中真正沈靜下來，得到一個偷閒的機會好好休息。

 

  「不在場證明」這檔展覽最一開始是因為一次失眠，我忽然想到一個朋友；綽號叫做小明，沒錯，就是數學考題最常出現的「小明」一樣，所以我就透過教師網站去挑選有關小明的數學題目；變成數學考卷，以這張數學考卷當作文本，去跟我的朋友小明的生活作對照，將可以（誤會）連接的照片或影像畫成畫，再讓觀者去猶疑數學公式下這些未知數/未知物的關係。

 

 

Last generation, paying certain efforts could exchange for result of equal value. Nowadays, it seems no longer paying certain efforts to get result of equal value, because of the technology progress rapidly. If there is no idea about paying efforts, then paying efforts becomes unnecessary. To get the result immediately, paying efforts turns out a tool superficially. Instrumentalizing paying efforts would be too weak to load for the sense of achievement. Therefore, the sense of us is whether to collapse.

 

Art is not for solving such problem. It does not mean that art is not working and not practical. Art is working for people, including artist my own. Hence, being this generation of temptation from paying efforts superficially, my paying efforts is to pause the steps by art and works. This pausing is to notice the surroundings which used to so far, and to understand another side of engaging in those familiar surroundings. Moreover, the pausing is also to feel the moment for unsayable, then to recall our sense by doubt. Wish whom is seeing my works could be in the moment of tranquility and have a good break.

 

This exhibition, “Falsification”, came from my insomnia. It reminded me a friend, whose nickname’s 小明。小明 was always the most popular name on math test. Therefore, I picked up some of 小明 on math test from testing resource website, and made a paper of them. According to this math test paper and my friend 小明, I painted few questionable connection between them to create pausing doubt from the relationship of X and unknown in math formula.
