【非志願性讀者】
在「非志願性讀者」中,藝術家利用報紙來反應生活中資訊的過量及探討其流動的脈絡,以及媒體如何影響我們所認知的社會真實。在一百天內,她不購買任何報紙及雜誌,不主動瀏覽電視及網路新聞,只閱讀送到手邊的免費報紙,包括在捷運站發放的、座位上撿到的、早餐店桌上的等等。她收集這些報紙,拍攝並記錄下與該報相遇的時間地點以及當天的頭條,試圖記錄下資訊的流通網絡,以及這段時間內媒體所建構出來的「真實」。而在這一百天內,她對社會的認知則全然的被該媒體所掌控。

In this work, the artist uses newspapers to reflect on the excessive information in our daily life, exploring the flowing context and how the media affects the truth, as we know it as a society. In a hundred days, she did not buy any newspapers or magazines, nor did she watch news from both the Internet and the television. She only reads free newspapers given out at the Metro stations or found on the seat or table at the breakfast shop. She collected these newspapers, photographed, and recorded the time, place and the headline of the day. She tried to compile the flowing network of information and the “truth” constructed by the media during her experiment. Within the hundred days, her perception of society was completely controlled by the media.
