〈EYE〉是日本電子雙人組合group_inou在2015年發行專輯「地圖」的音樂錄影帶,這兩位90年代出生的藝術家用特殊方法將自己的影像與google地圖中的立體街道導覽相接聯。畫面中他們手拿著遊戲機(或DJ唱盤),一邊吟唱著歌曲,一邊身體不斷地迅速移動,從黑暗的隧道到高速公路、從偏鄉無人的山頭到城市高樓林立的街景,在時空壓縮的全球一體狀態之下,他們所經過的是無法辨識的地景、地域或國家,可以是任何真實地點,也可以是甚麼都不是的虛擬空間。〈EYE〉以音樂錄影帶形式展現一種年輕世代的輕盈與樂觀,他們是網路時代的原住民,平滑快速地優遊於虛擬世界,無邊界、無阻礙,一路高歌前行。當這個計畫完成之後,他們也在網路上公開製作的軟體與方法作為開放資源,回應網路作為分享平台的概念。
EYE is a Music Video included in the album “MAP” released by Japanese electronic music group “group_inou” in 2015. These two artists, born in 1990s, fused their own figures with the 3D images from Google Street View. In the video, they hold a game console (or a DJ system), singing while moving rapidly from dark tunnels to highways, from desolate hilltops in countryside to city streets with skyscrapers standing alongside. Compressing the space-time around the globe, they travel through unrecognizable landscapes, regions or countries. It could be any authentic location in reality or nothing at all in a virtual space. EYE, in the form of music video, demonstrates the brisk optimism of the young generation, who are the digital native of the Cyber Age, roaming swiftly while singing in the virtual world without boundary, limit, or whatsoever. After the project is finished, they make the software and the know-hows open-sourced on the Internet, in concert with Internet’s idea of a platform for sharing.
