這一輯《螢幕快照》,是源於極渴望離開香港,到東京旅遊而生,而能夠讓我用眼走一趟的方法就是利用網絡的實景地圖。
攝影,是主觀角度於現實環境的選擇;實景地圖,本身已由相機記錄並處理為全景影像,而影像的攝影日期已不是現在,是過去的不同年、月、日、時的「一𣊬」,但影像拍攝方式是由改裝於車上的數部相機,在電腦合成而成為全景。在地圖上的移動距離就是「程式」運行的時間,觀者遊覽的位置、時間已被決定,當中在電腦合成出現的「錯誤」,而且在每一步的放大是有限度,會到達變成只見像素、模糊。
每一步的全景影像為裝置的選擇,我則在遊覽同時以螢幕快照作記錄,並進行改寫,能被限制的「實景」中,被限制的「時間」中,隨實時街景的時間交錯,遊覽的卻永遠是過去。
過往,我從現實中選擇,現在從運作裝置所選擇給我的現實。「咔」,他提醒我,這也是種選擇。從那限制中以螢幕快照,生產影像、相片。
節錄於《behaviour》中<Behaviour VI>
I play with the screen-shot of my computer and google map. I search a place, and start from it.
Google map already is a record of reality, people can visit every places (Google gone). I ask a question: “The action of screen-shot, is it as same as photo shooting?” Actually the map was updated a year or few years before, which already is a photographs. The fact is the map give me the right to look nearly whole angle (panorama) from the point I mark on the live map.
Every step of the map is kind of moment in the past. When I arrive that mark, actually I am going back the past and visit the moment, randomly. It is because I am limited by the map, no matter the routes, the steps , the views.
When I capture the screen (view), with a electronic sound “klack”, it reminds me that is kind of selection.
