Emotion Machine / 情感机器

Tan Chui Mui / 陈翠梅

Can a machine make us feel? Across images, moving images, poetry and installation, Tan Chui Mui asks what happens between a person, a machine and the person who encounters its output. Memory, authorship and emotion become things to test, play with and reconsider.

机器能让我们产生情感吗?陈翠梅从影像走向诗歌与装置,追问人与机器,以及接收机器输出的人之间,究竟发生了什么。记忆、作者身份与情绪,成为可以试验、游戏,也可以重新思考的事物。

These works extend her filmmaking practice into the exhibition space: a question about who owns an image; a printer that cannot stop writing love poems; a room that responds without necessarily understanding.

这些作品把她的电影创作延伸到展览空间:一个关于影像归属的疑问,一台无法停止写情诗的打印机,一间能够回应、却未必理解的房间。
