失身記

《失身記》為超現實風格的虛擬實境互動作品，由黃心健的家族記憶發想、出發，描繪臺灣戒嚴時期，所有人性在體制下，約化成僅供領導階層辨認、評量的社會氛圍。 儘管那年代早已遠去，數位科技的興起卻重現威權年代的類似循環。政府開始利用數位監控、大數據和人工智慧等新興科技監控民眾。強大的世界領袖們，使用不到140字元的推特文章，宣布國家的政策方向；平民被簡化成螢幕上的少量像素，無人機成為判斷擊殺目標的審判人，被辨認、註記為恐怖份子的真實生命與人，最終成為被擊殺的目標與數字。

在《失身記》中，過往的戒嚴統治及現代的數位科技合而為一，形成對人們生活與信仰對立的深沉壓迫。一位於政府祕密實驗中的政治犯長者在獄中孤獨死去，觀眾透過長者之眼，身歷其境體驗這段旅程。長者死後成為孤魂野鬼，墮入冥界。對應了臺灣民俗信仰中，農曆鬼月地獄之門大開，鬼魂回到人間探訪陽世家人。觀者以第一人稱視角與長者之眼重合，理解並經歷常民精神文明與自然交織而成的，極具台灣內涵風格的豐富精神世界。

Bodyless is an interactive VR work created in the style of Surrealism. Hsin-Chien Huang begins with his family memory to depict Taiwan under Martial Law and how the humanity of a society is reduced to a collective identified and evaluated by its leadership.

Despite referring to a period that has long passed, the work sheds light on the similar cycle of authoritarianism present with the rise of digital technology. The government has used new technologies such as digital surveillance, big data, and artificial intelligence to monitor its people. National policies are announced by powerful world leaders through tweets that are under 140 characters long, civilians are simplified into pixels on a screen, drones are given powers to determine and judge targets that are to be killed, and actual lives and people identified and tagged as terrorists have become targets and numbers are that are to be exterminated.

In Bodyless, the Martial Law of the past merges with current digital technologies and becomes the oppressive culprit that causes opposition between people’s lives and beliefs. An elderly political prisoner dies alone during a secret government experiment, and audiences experience the journey through the eyes of the older man. The elder’s soul descends into the underworld after death. This corresponds to Taiwanese folk beliefs in which the gates to hell open during the Lunar Ghost Month, and the deceased are allowed to return to the world of the living to visit their families. The viewer’s first perspective matches that of the elderly, manifesting the quintessentially Taiwanese spiritual world interwoven with folk belief and nature.
