Beast Souls


    这是一个可互动游玩的反人类中心主义幻想,有三个不同的角色在其中演绎,玩家会被黑猩猩下指令,需要完成不同的任务来继续游戏,比如:消灭“邪灵”莱卡狗,在双头羊中选择克隆体消灭,并在游戏结束后接受猩猩的质问.

    这是我书写的另一种叙事:它们的生命被迫与人类实验绑定,如果作为游戏中的反派角色存在呢?而不是人类历史中书写的为科学献身,披戴荣光,毕竟荣耀只是人类自己的念想.在这组装置里,这些动物是演绎者,观众可以通过互动来影响它们.但我想表达的是:在人类的故事里,动物角色其实也是完美的观众,它们沉默地存在,也沉默地看着人类的荒诞故事.

This is a fantasy of anti-anthropocentrism that involves interactive games with three different characters playing. The chimpanzee gives the player instructions to complete different tasks to continue the game, such as destroying the ‘evil spirit’ Laika, the space dog, choosing the clone to destroy as for the two-headed sheep, and being questioned by the chimpanzee at the end of the game.

This is a different narrative I have designed: the lives of these animals are forced to be tied to experiments by humans, but what if they exist as villains in the game instead of giving their life to the development of science ‘gloriously,’ as written in human history? After all, glory is a concept only in the human mind. In this installation, these animals are players, and the audience can influence them through interaction. But what I want to convey is that in the human story, the animal characters are also the perfect audience. They exist silently, witnessing the absurd stories of humans.
