節目簡介

一個看似虛構的城市，充滿似曾相識的情節：城市以身體建造結構，裝置刻劃輪廓，聲音化作語言，好像機器不斷重複運作，直到完結。 經過三個階段的講座、工作坊及技術實驗，梁基爵、黃俊達、羅穎綸及馮穎琳帶領學員，與創作伙伴一同實踐獨有的演出模式：由多個裝置作品組成的展覽，像一個跳蚤市場也像一個城市，裝置涵蓋戲劇、肢體、機械、 聲音、影像、電子程式等，大銀幕播放的畫面令看似互不相干的單位產生關係；演員同時穿梭裝置中進行互動表演，讓觀眾感受科技為媒體／表演藝術帶來的新感官體驗。

 

節目詳情

第一部份：展覽

Ø 由多個小攤檔組成市場展覽，展覽由不同裝置組成，形式有電子裝置、聲音、影像等。以身體運作的協調與自主為基調，籌劃出一系列獨立又互為影響的攤位，攤位內和攤位之間都以無形行動觸發有形改變。因此，攤位內容會分別探討不同的議題，就如身體不同的部位可以獨立運作；有部分攤位更會利用不同感官(身體)探索，更立體感受和體驗議題。

 

第二部份：展覽及互動演出

Ø 展覽的裝置開始運作和觀眾互動，並且將不同場景投放到銀幕，以不同的組合播放攤檔的畫面，令看似互不相干的攤檔，在銀幕上互相產生關係。再加以戲劇、肢體舞動配合，令觀眾欣賞銀幕之餘，也可加入表演。

 

第三部份：總結演出

Ø 將部分攤位的元素延伸，再加入新的元素，包括形體動作、舞台裝置、聲音，整合為一場完整的演出。由形體演員，將人群視線帶到主舞台範圍，回應每個攤位細節、數據、反應，建構大型Machine，像是機械城的中心。

 

 

City of 0

 

Media x Body x Sound x Device x Performance

A seemingly fictional city with story plots we all know: its structure built by bodies, its outline carved by devices, and its sound turning into language — just like a machine running non-stop until its demise.

After lectures, workshops and technical experiments in three stages, GayBird, Ata Wong, Vanissa Law and Fung Wing-lam, aided by their fellow creators, lead project participants in forging a performance uniquely its own: a multifaceted exhibition, with installations covering drama, movements, devices, sound, image, computer programmes and more, resembles a flea market as well as a city; separate units, once streamed on a mega-sized screen, meld into an organic whole. Plus interactive performances by actors the experience ignites your senses in ways unimagined before!

攤位介紹 Booth Introduction

 

 

 

1.「活人心情」：是一個透過掃描手掌，來了解參加者當下心情的機器，參加者會把手掌放在掃描器上，按下按鈕開始掃描。機器會隨即打印出參加者當時的心情、運程占卜、以及就著掃描結果向參加著提供人生方向指導。 

共同創作：陳卓欣 Joyce Chan Cheuk Yan

Mood of the living

It is a machine that understands the mood of participants by scanning their palms. Participants place their palms on the scanner and press the button to start scanning.  The machine will immediately print out the participant's mood at the time, tell his or her fortune, and provide guidance on the life direction of the participant based on the scan results.

 

3.「耳語/whisper」：攤位是一道平平無奇的木牆，背後藏有十多個小擴音器，參加者把耳朵靠貼在牆上，會聽到牆在輕聲耳語。當機器越來越佔領了我們的生活，人類與人類的直接的互動減少，耳語這種本是平常的人與人溝通方式也越來越少，現在由這道牆向人類輕聲耳語。

共同創作：張子晴 Candy Cheung Tsz Ching

Whisper

This booth is a plain wooden wall with more than a dozen small loudspeakers hidden behind. Participants put their ears against the wall and they will hear the wall whispers softly.  As machines taking over our lives more and more, the direct interaction between humans has diminished. And whispering, which used to be an ordinary way of interpersonal communication, has become increasingly rare. Now the wall is whispering softly to humans.

 

4.「你跳舞?」：參加者來到攤位會看到一個類似跳舞機遊戲的裝置，當參加者想要開始遊戲時，屏幕上的畫面也會開始遊戲。但其實參加者看到在屏幕上的畫面與他們在跳舞墊上的動作無關。跳舞機遊戲由控制室的人類控制，像似參加者的動作觸發反應，實質是由其他人操控。

共同創作：周雋曦 Thomas Chow Chun Hei

Are you dancing?

Participants will see a device similar to a dancing machine game when they come to the booth. When the participant starts a game, the screen will show images of a dancing game.  But in fact, what the participants see on the screen has nothing to do with their movements on the dancing mat.  The dancing machine game is controlled by people in the control room. It looks as if the participant’s actions trigger a reaction, but it is essentially controlled by other people.

 

5.「活人控制室」：攤位#1-#8的控制室，不會讓參加者直接看見。控制室內和遊走於展場中的演員會透過各種方式隱晦地透露各這個攤位的位置，和訪問方法。參加者得到指示後能夠來到活人控制室的外面，透過窺視孔看到攤位內局部的運作。

Human Control Room

The control room of other booths are not visible directly by the participants.  The actors and actresses in the control room and those wondering around the exhibition hall will hint the location of each booth and the method of accessing them.  The participants can come to the outside of the Human control room after receiving the  instructions and see the local operation of the booth through the peepholes.

 

7.「電話亭」：攤位中只有一台電話，當有參加者行近時電話會響起。如果參加者接聽電話，活人控制室的演員會與參加者對話。

共同創作：陸尉俊 Chun Luk Wai Chun

Phone Booth

There is only one phone on the booth. The phone will ring when a participant approaches.  If the participant answers the phone, the actor in the human control room will be talking to the participant.

 

8.「Soundscape」：攤位是一塊綠色的草地，草地上長出4個有線耳機，耳機中會循環播放在香港大自然錄取的位置錄音。

共同創作：徐慧珊 Teresa Tsui Wai Shan

This booth presents a piece of lawn with 4 wired earphones grow on it. The earphones will play the recordings recorded in the nature of Hong Kong in a loop.

 

9.「Round」環：創作靈感來自18世紀發展出來的建築物-圓形監獄。監獄的環形設計令人永不休止的互相監視，活在恐慌。自由的我們看似無拘無束，但別人的目光卻無法控制。這作品以半圓的裝置呈現，觀眾的加入啟動了電子音樂和密集圖案的投影，動作的幅度展開一連串的互動。反映中我們可以在他人的眼中了解自己，但亦無法擺脫那既定形象。

共同創作：葉曦汶 Crystal Yip Hei Man

 “Round” is inspired by the panopticon prison which is a type of institutional building and a system of control designed in 18th century. The circular design allows prisoners to be watched by each other. This is pretty much the same as our daily life. We can barely get rid of what people think of us. 
Audiences can activate the semi-circular installation with movements. Electronic music and visual images then response to your moves. This reflects that people provide mirror in which to see yourself more clearly. But what matters most is how you see yourself.

 

10.「CantoCAPTCHA」「驗證碼零貳肆叄」：CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart)，又稱驗證碼。拆解光學字元識別（OCR）的特性，設置多重辨識，包括：人體電阻值、「我不是機械人」驗證圖像和粵語協音辨識。2047、2059和6081，不是公歷年份；2·3434·23和6·7878·69沒有數理上的關係；正如，30624700也不是電話號碼。一連串的數字要如何解讀呢？不妨聽一下、看一下、讀一下，憑直覺感知，或許能證明自己是人。

共同創作：陳嘉運 Josh Chan Ka Wan

CantoCAPTCHA

CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart), also known as verification code. This booth disassembles the features of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and set up multiple recognition measures including: human body resistance value, "I am not a robot" verification image and Cantonese coordinated sound recognition.

 2047, 2059, and 6081 are not Gregorian calendar years; 2·3434·23 and 6·7878·69 are not mathematically related; just as, 30624700 is not a phone number either. How to interpret a series of numbers?  You might as well listen, watch, and read. Intuition may prove that you are a human being.

 

11.「真偽·操控」「Authenticity」：真偽·操控是一個聲音與影像的表演攤位。當中互動式的電子裝置以公仔為外型，作品從天線得得B在不同國家的播放爭議引發反思，選擇了其外型來反思真偽與反映操控。觀眾會在我創作的聲音與影像下利用電子裝置操控參與其中，也在裝置中的螢幕反映出虛擬的影響，但當中的真偽需要觀眾自行參透。

共同創作：龐百勤 Chet Pong Pak Kan

Authenticity and Manipulation

It is a performance booth of sound and video in which the interactive electronic device takes the appearance of a doll. This work reflects on the controversy of the broadcasting of teletubbies in different countries. Therefore, their appearances are chosen to present the idea of authenticity and manipulation.  The audience will use the electronic device to manipulate and participate in the sound and video created by me while the screen in the device will reflect their virtual influence. But the authenticity (or not) are up for the audience to interpret.

 

12.「地府龐克」Death Punk：地府龐克以地府作為主題，融入機械化的觀念。觀眾將會體驗一個科技化的地獄，並接受地獄人工智能的審判。藉著融合傳統文化與科技，為觀眾帶來一個創新的陰曹地府。

共同創作：周晉光 Felix Chau Chun Kwong 

Death Punk

It takes the underworld as its theme and incorporates the concept of mechanization.  The audience will experience a technological hell and face the trial of the hell artificial intelligence.  Through the integration of traditional culture and technology, it presents an innovative underworld to the audience.
