室内观赏植物承载着超乎寻常的信息与情绪,以毋庸置疑的自然象征物之姿进入人类的日常生活中。作为技术装配(technical apparatus)的办公室植物,藉由丰饶的媒介资源,浓缩了劳动空间中自然意象的文化史。以历史溯源研究为出发点,这个多媒介装置作品综合了文本、物件和计算机生成图像,探索人与植物在现实环境和数字空间中的跨物种共生之道。从真实植物,到人造盆景乃至虚拟景观,办公空间中的残缺绿意,向我们揭示出自然-社会-政治-文化的多重纠葛。
Through the undeniable presence of indoor ornamental plants as natural symbols, this multimedia installation, rooted in historical research, explores the profound inter-species coexistence between humans and plants in physical and digital environments. Serving as technical apparatus within office spaces, these plants encapsulate the cultural history of natural imagery, using abundant media resources. By integrating text, objects, and computer-generated images, the installation delves into the extraordinary information and emotions carried by these plants. It traverses from real plants to artificial bonsai and virtual landscapes, unveiling the fragmented greenery within office spaces as a window into the intricate entanglement of nature, society, politics, and culture.
