結合當代語境,本土創造以創業初始延用至今的混凝土作為媒介,製成大腦作為「死腦筋」的物化象徵。
Combined with the contemporary context, BENTU takes concrete, the material that has been used since founded, as the materialized medium of the status of blockhead.
通過探討「死腦筋」在當代社會的分化形態,引導關注周遭環境和世界,反視、感知、表達,在互動中不斷自我更新與補充。
Exploring differentiated forms of "blockhead" in contemporary society, and guiding the viewers to pay attention to the world and surrounding environment with reverse view, perception and expression, then renew and replenish oneself in the interaction.
在這個鋼筋水泥的世界,物質成為囚困人類的隱形牢籠。不停歇地追逐物質的人們,在快速更新的全球化浪潮下疲於奔跑。此刻,任何沒有一點閃光的表面,都不會獲得哪怕一瞬的目光停駐。而同一時代舞臺,卻仍有一群「死腦筋」的苦行僧,罔顧效益公式,自行其道,偏執於一時一事,似乎叛逃於奉行「更快、更高、更強」的當代社會。
In this steel-and-cement world, material becomes an invisible cage for humans. People who do not stop material pursuits are in a race against the fast-changing tide of globalization. At this point, any surface that doesn't have a flash of light won't get even a fleeting glance. However, in the stage of the same era, there are still a group of "blockhead" ascetics, regardless of the benefit formula, and go their own way, paranoid at one thing at a time, and seem to defect from the contemporary society that pursues "faster, higher, and stronger".
死腦筋都有執念,彷佛是有慣性在牽引著,相信甚至是偏執地投入到一個行為當中。不論行為是否重複無意義,不論信念引領的結果是否如願,「做」這個動作都是持續發生的。社會學家馬克斯·韋伯認為:「人是懸掛在自己編織的意義之網上的動物」。死腦筋的過程就像是築巢,一點點地給自己安全感,現代人便習慣於蜷縮在自我營造的這個舒適圈裡。然而,我們究竟是在渴望什麼?還是被時代裹挾著隨波逐流?
The blockhead will always have an obsessiveness. They believe in or even be paranoid in an behavior as if they have been pulled by an inertia force. No matter the behavior is repeated or not, no matter how the result will be, they just keep doing. The sociologist Maximilian Emil Weber once said "Man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun." Being a blockhead is just like nesting, giving oneself a sense of security bit by bit and eventually curling oneself up in the self-made comfort zone. However, what do we actually desire for?Or are they being carried by the times to drift with the flow?
洗腦
各種碎片化的信息不斷衝刷,像是在迷霧中沉浮,來不及去尋找根源。混沌的世界裡,我們所信仰的價值觀真的屬於「我」嗎?
Brainwashing
We are facing all kinds of fragmented information every day, such as in the misty fog, too late to find the root. In the chaotic world, do the values we believe in really belong to 「us」?
牢籠
人類馴化地像被圈養的動物,我們的意識絕大部分是「虛假的」,是社會所填塞給我們不真的認識。我該追求的「我」是這個社會賦予的身份還是我內心的本真?
Cage
Humans seem are being domesticated like captive animals and most of our consciousness is "sham", and it is what the society that fills us with unreal knowledge. So I should pursue the "I" is the identity given by the society or the truth from my heart?
