一個關於攝影經驗的互動聲音裝置。若將萬花筒之光路逆轉,則可將其內部影像投射至牆面上,並可用透鏡使其對焦。裝置和馬達連結,驅動使之轉動,觀眾可透過旋鈕介面控制其轉速,或使其停下。

在轉動的過程中,若操作者看到喜歡的畫面,想馬上將畫面停下,則會發現它永遠無法剛好停在他想要的那個瞬間(因為轉體有慣性) — 如同按快門,人往往無法完美擷取衝擊其大腦視覺的那個瞬間。本裝置實為相機的變體:牆面為底片,旋鈕為快門,透鏡為鏡頭,轉動為時間,而外在世界則在萬花筒內部。

註:與攝影家羅晟文合作之作。

This is an installation about the experience of photography. By reversing the direction of light, one can focus the inner image of a Kaleidoscope onto a wall. By connecting the system to a motor, the audience can interact with the device or make it stop. This "stopping" action mimics the experience of pressing a shutter, and the installation is hence a "camera" in disguise
