《戀物癖指》結合了數個實驗性的影像片段,探討了數位媒介及其衍生物—螢幕所帶來關於觸覺感知上的變異及複雜性。物件在數位化及去物質化後,人對於觸覺的需求有時反而是不減反增。而影像在之間,就像是物質與虛擬成像間的介質,也像是種種主動與被動間的連結。

作品中的影像片段截自社群媒體或YOUTUBE,由不同發佈者拍攝上載有關「食物日記」的3D動畫、攝影及影像片段。除了針對影像的一些手勢及動作探討,某種程度上,當閱讀此作時,其實正如我們平日在閱讀網頁一般,閱讀的當下即有敘述的發生。當手指往下滑時一段由資訊所構組而成的看法也在這個手指的動作中自上而下產生。

Fetish Finger consists of several experimental image clips and investigates the variation and complexity of tactile sense brought by the digital medium and its derivative – screen. People’s need for the sense of touch, instead of decreasing, would sometimes increase after objects go through the processes of digitalization and dematerialization. Meanwhile, like the medium between the material and images, images in between are like the connections between initiative and passive.

The footages in the work are adapted from the 3D animations, photographs, video clips about “food diary” uploaded by diverse publishers onto the social media or YouTube. Apart from the discussions on some gestures and movements in the video, when we read the work, it is, to some extent, like when we read webpages the other day, generating narratives at the moment of reading. When we scroll down with fingers, an opinion made of information comes into being from top to down with the movement of the fingers.
