Between Watching and Being Watched-Visual Existence

國立臺北藝術大學 / 科技藝術研究所媒體藝術組 / Author:Ching-Kuang Liao

“Look” is a kind of desire. The process of choosing the subject to look is to satisfy someone''s aspect. Browse the autodyne on Internet provides an opportunity to fulfill it. We take our time to pick freely and survey each of them, with out other people’s judgments. People who took an autodyne have two roles. One is a model and the other is a modeler. They model every thing for how they will “be looked” and for that reason they relate people by disguise, costume or performing. The place to take an autodyne is the most private place, their rooms, and the safest and comfortable place to show them. But the one who looks the autodyne can enter the autodyne maker’s room through the camera for peek their privet life.

This project has provided a space of visual experience. In this space during watching the video, every detail and desire draw out from the heart. In "gazing" the video, the freedom of visual go back to the one who is watching it and quietly with the video without attraction. In this “watching and being watched” place, the watcher is faced the one who is in the video and being watched. They are both flowing in this moment, gazing each other make the watcher’s sensation feel deeper, farther more enhance the desire. Take off the relation of watching and being watched, by gazing feel this moment beyond watching something is reel and visionary between watching and being watched.
