空拍機負載著跨越縱橫的滯空能量,穿梭眼前廣闊無邊卻難以端相的視域,流淌往返物理距離與人機一體的狀態中,延伸、顯像、模糊、發散,輕巧地製造出虛實交疊的圖像風景,懸停於跨越時間限制的集體記憶。
懸停(Hover)一詞為航空領域用語,意指飛行器於空中停留飛行的狀態。空拍機便是通過配備穩定傳感器系統,控制推力和姿態來實現穩定的懸停模式。「懸停記憶—魯志楷個展」,展出《雲端勞力士》與《降筆圖痕》兩件作品,以空拍機的視角特性與人機連結關係,揭示其作為創作技術性工具外新的詮釋可能,進一步帶出常民生活與信仰傳說背後關於「人」的記憶面貌。
《雲端勞力士》是從影像中試著搓揉網路社群、空拍和時間三個面向的關係,顯示出在大街上修理鐘錶的阿伯,帶著浪漫、自由和漸變的生命狀態;《降筆圖痕》以67年前麻豆水堀頭靈泉傳說的降筆儀式視為開端,陸續浮現的圖痕則為強化信仰傳遞的驗證,通過挖掘傳說背後的常民經驗與神性軌跡,探問靈性訊息交流與信仰圖像化背後的技術性脈絡。藉由本次展覽,藝術家以串接兩件運用空拍媒材製成的作品作為開端,試圖梳理生命個體時間返照下的回憶片刻,進而凝聚、歸整、再現不同維度下影像交織的現實語境。
Carrying a hovering energy that crosses in both the longitudinal and the latitudinal directions, a drone shuttles througha vastly boundless viewshed that is difficult to gauge, traversing back and forth in a state of physical distance and human-machine integration. Extending, image-forming, blurring, and dispersing, it delicately produces landscapes that overlap the illusive and the real, hovering in a collective memory that transcends spatial and temporal confinements.
The word, “hover,” is an aviation term that refers to when an aircraft remains in one place in the air. Each drone is equipped with a stabilization system that controls the thrust force and movement to enable hovering in a stabilized state. On view in Chih-Kai Lu’s solo exhibition, A Little Bird Told Me, are the two artworks, Rolex in the Sky and The Descended Message. Applying the drone ’s unique perspective and the human-machine connection, the artist proposes new interpretive possibilities beyond the drone ’s role as a tech tool for creativity and further reveals memories that are associated with “people,”which stem from everyday life and folk beliefs.
Radiance and shadow, clarity and haze, fragility and resilience—Lu Chih-Kai erases these binary boundaries gradually, allowing the fluidity and dialectics born from their interaction during the creative process to flow freely within this exhibition. In this realm, "romance" perhaps no longer remains a mere illusory pact of emotions, but rather, a cycle of futile repetition within reality. "How To Be Romantic" raises inquiries through its title, inviting viewers to contemplate interpretations of sensory experience and offering a canvas for all to redefine.
