Bases of Games
A Failed Simulation of Origami
基礎遊戲 — 摺紙失效的模擬
當世界複雜性逼近奇異點,人能依據什麼行動?我回頭凝視那些簡單、卻能成立的「遊戲」;我以「摺紙遊戲」作為核心,透過將摺紙攤開、放大;在摺痕中呈現規則如何被依循。然而,由於狀態轉換,規則不再導向完成。這個過程使人思考:當基礎規則不再保證結果,它是否仍牽引著我們的思考與行動。
Bases of Games — A Failed Simulation of Origami
As the complexity of the world approaches a point of singularity, upon what can human action still be grounded? I turn my attention to games that are simple, yet capable of sustaining themselves. Taking origami as my central framework, I unfold and enlarge its forms to reveal how rules are followed through the traces of folds. However, through shifts in state, these rules no longer lead toward completion. This process prompts reflection on whether foundational rules, even when they no longer guarantee outcomes, continue to guide our thinking and actions.

《基礎遊戲 — 摺紙失效的模擬》
作品是一張攤開的紙鶴、一幅對折的繪畫,也是一座帶有窺視孔的立式屏風。摺紙、繪畫、屏風曾是我們模擬現實、理解世界的工具。然而,作品將三者融合,讓它們的語境在彼此的重疊中失效了。
摺紙不再指向具體形象,繪畫不再構築視覺幻象,屏風也不再提供隱蔽。因「疊加」而產生的「失效」,反映了人們對於新奇、與重新定義的偏愛。攤開的摺紙,它遊戲性的轉變,象徵著觀眾對形象的開闊預期。我們不再滿足於對現實的模擬,而更傾在資訊流的疊加中,交織折射出的現實。
Bases of Games — A Failed Simulation of Origami
This work is an unfolded origami, a folded painting, and a freestanding screen with a peephole. Origami, painting, and folding screens were once tools through which we simulated reality and made sense of the world. But by merging all three, I have allowed their contexts to collapse upon each other and, in doing so, to fail.
Origami no longer points to a specific form, painting no longer constructs visual illusions, and the screen no longer offers concealment. The “failure” born from “superimposition” reflects our contemporary preference for novelty and for redefining the familiar. The game of unfolded origami—its shift in playfulness—symbolizes the audience’s widened expectations for image. We are no longer satisfied with simulation of reality; instead, we are drawn to the layered flows of information, and the refracted realities that emerge from their intersections.
