下一秒 The next second Back
200613个录像,互动系统
2006, 上海

一个极小的动作,一秒钟的不留心,一个下意识的表情印痕,微小的细节都很关键。虽然我们不刻意这样,但我们发现,在一个时刻里我们的生活已经入轨到一个无法还原之境。当然,如果当时做的是另一个动作,结果会完全不同。下一秒什么都可能会不一样...

在只有一个入口的空间中,13个显示屏被布置成不同的方向。这些屏幕始终播放着一段五秒钟循环的录像。录像中一对男女沉默相对,就在某一事件即将发生时画面停住,录像从新开始。

一旦观众走到某个屏幕前,他触发录像继续播放直至情景的结尾部分。 准确的说何种可能的结局将取决于电脑的随机选择。

A tiny random action, a second of unmindfulness, an unconscious shade in our facial expression. The smallest detail matters. Though we didn’t mean to, we realize that within in a fraction of time our life has taken an unwanted, irreversible course. Obviously it could have all come different, if in that moment we had done something else. The next second, everything could be different...

In a space with a single entrance, 13 screens are set-up facing into different directions. Each of them shows a five second loop of a couple in a silent by tense situation. Something is about to happen. Yet at this moment the video halts and starts over.

Only when the onlooker walks up to one of the screens, his/her presence will trigger the video to play the ending of the scene - or more precisly one of the possible endings - randomly chosen by a computer.
