模造黑箱 Molding Black Box




交互装置 Interactive installation

2022


Molding Black Box is a conceptual tool that aims to explore the production of man-made objects through the simulation of injection moulding. In this work, the injection mould is transformed from an industrial production into a 'blind box' that cannot be opened or examined. Faced with a series of injection moulds, the experiencer can only know the possible scope of their shape, but cannot determine or verify the actual casting result.

The human being is moulded in a mould whose contents cannot be determined, and the final product remains in the mould - thus, the miniature assembly line appears to be producing objects, but in fact it has been removed step by step from human cognitive intervention: moulding, from the "production of man-made objects" into a more purely "object-making" process, and purposive industrial production into a more "object-autonomous" generative process. The use of the 'black box' as a cognitive-behavioural tool enhances the perception of the infinite possibilities of material production and expression.

模造黑箱是一种概念性工具，旨在通过模拟注塑成型过程来探索人造物的生产机制。在这件作品中，注塑模具被转化为一种无法开启或检视的“盲盒”。面对一系列模具，体验者只能推测其可能的形态范围，却无法确定或验证实际的铸造结果。

人类自身仿佛也被置于一个内容不可知的模具之中，而最终的成品仍被封存在模具内部——这条微缩的“装配线”看似在生产物件，实则一步步地被剥离出人类的认知干预。由此，“成型”这一行为从“人造物的生产”转化为更纯粹的“物自成形”过程；目的性的工业生产，也转向了一种“物之自发生成”的机制。以“黑箱”作为认知与行为的媒介，作品强化了人们对物质生产与表达中无限可能性的感知。
