Exploring "Sexual Mechanisms" After the Deluge of Images and the Popularization of Imaging Devices
After individuals are immersed in a vast amount of imagery and imaging devices become widespread, their sexuality and desires are increasingly influenced by media. We rely on our projections to achieve gratification, and these projected images come from imaging devices and media. Therefore, whether one engages in solitary acts, acts facing imaging media, or acts with another person, our projections and feedback are always a result of media influence. One can't help but wonder how much autonomy we truly possess over our sexuality and desires.
From self-stimulation using a camcorder (Video Masturbation) to a fetish for imaging devices (Feedback); from images as sexual objects for projecting desire, to the self-awareness of human nature's gradual impotence to stimulation (Rise Up, Rise Up, Rise Up); ultimately, even individual sexuality is only re-presented within camcorders and televisions (Close-Up).
探討接受大量影像洗禮和影像機器大眾化後的「性機制」:
接受大量影像洗禮和影像機器大眾化之後的人們,其性愛與慾望愈來愈受媒体的影響,我們依靠我們的投射來達到滿足,而投射的影像則來自影像機器和媒体,所以不管你一個人作,面對影像媒体作或是二個人作,我們的投射與回饋都是影像影響下的結果。不禁懷疑對性愛與慾望我們究竟有多少自主性?
從以錄影機進行自慰〈錄影自慰〉到對影像機器的癖戀〈回饋〉、從影像作為慾望投射的性對象,到對刺激逐漸陽萎的人性自覺〈Rise Up, Rise Up, Rise Up〉,最後連個體的性愛都只再現在錄影機與電視之中〈特寫〉
