栩栩 (Lively)

牛俊強 (NIU,CHUN-CHIANG)－國立台北藝術大學科技藝術所

這件作品是別於一般動態影像的方式，呈現「時間」在空間中的流動。

我挑選日常生活的場景，請主角靜立於攝影機前10分鐘。影片輸入電腦後，將電腦螢幕置於掃描機上，播放影像同時，一邊掃瞄。再將掃描之後產生的靜態圖像，串聯起一個完整的動畫。因此作品中一條條雜訊波紋，是拍攝過程中物體移動遺留下的痕跡，被攝者因為靜止，所以形體是清晰的。

在拍攝這件作品時，因為拍攝時間需要，所以作者必須透過攝影機，與自己的親人，做長時間的對望。那種機械式的凝視，產生一種陌生的親密感。似乎她們只存在於那一段10分鐘的影像之中。在顯影的過程，場域的記憶，如氤氳般，在時間的罅隙中延展開來。那個當下，我意識那種流逝是種催促，眼前的形體，正向盡頭的幽谷緩緩駛進。

Unlike most of video installations , the aim of Lively is to present the flow of time within the spatial environment. Director selected ordinary scenes from daily life, and asked the protagonists to stand still in front of camera for10 minutes. After inputting the video into computer, the screen put on the scanner, so that when the footage was playing, it was also being scanned. The static images produced by the scanner when then put together to create a piece of animation.

The filming of this piece required the director to spend an extended period of time looking at (and being looked at by)family members. This mechanical , fixed gazing created an unusual sense of closeness. It was as through they had their existence only in the 10 minutes of filming.
