Surveillance X is a performance conducted by algorithmically grown plants. In the work, three “plants” are irradiated by real-time global news trawled on the internet. Under the radiation conditions mass media, the plants endure a subtle process of growth and transformation, until they are finally shaped by the news. The work investigates the seamless, ubiquitous existence of online media, and the co-existence of and mutual evolution of humans, information and technology.《监控 X》是由三株植物程序共同完成的表演。
在作品中,程序生成的三种植物实时受到全球范围内实时新闻源的“辐射”,并随着新闻媒介构成的环境条件的改变进行微妙的生长与形变,直至被“信息”塑造成不可预期的样貌。作品探讨今日在线媒体构成的无缝存在环境,以及其中“信息”、“人”、“技术”作为主体的共生与共同演化。
