Taiwanese artists together with international artists have gathered for ‘A Body of Mobile Machine’ at Halka Art Gallery, Istanbul, Turkey. Using the perspective of new media together to explore the body’s dual trajectory in a technological age. This exploration is mainly done in the transition between recorded images and future prospects, including the transition and reconstruction of structure in time, space, and displacement. Further, the concept and image of the body will be touched and shifted, tracing the mutual perception of media changing one’s body image, and using this to explore the two core issues of temporal existence, as well as body image in technological life.
Due to this, is perceptual time, in which information is received and emotions take effect, a form of time without structure and non-nervous awareness, equivalent to mechanical time? Faced with such an environment, can time, which is omnipresent and surrounds every individual’s body, be understood as a kind of subconscious factor through new technology and new media? In particular, ‘A Body of Mobile Machine’uses this to observe how human perception is influenced by time, as well as asking: how does mechanical time permeate the perceptual system of body time in our life experience from the past to the present, as well as asking how human experience can be opened to dialogue with the mechanical? And how can it be once again woven into the body?

「移動之身」(A Body of Mobile Machine) 集結台灣國內外藝術家於土耳其伊斯坦堡 Halka Art Gallery展出，以新媒體觀點，共同探討科技時代的身體雙重軌跡。主要探索在於錄像與圖景的過渡，包括時間、空間、位移等過渡重構的架構，另外也將觸及移動身體的觀念與意象，探知媒介改變身體影像的感知交互作用，藉此探討存在時間中的雙核心議題，以及科技生活中的身體影像。
因此，接收訊息與情感作用的感知時間，彼此間的構成與非神經意識的過渡時間，是否等同於機器時間？面對當下環境，透過科技新媒體媒材，終日無所不在且圍繞於每個人身體的時間，身體時間是否能被理解為一種無意識的要素？特別的是，「移動之身」藉此藝術家觀察人們的感知是如何被時間影響，以及提問：從過去到現在的生活經驗，機械時間如何滲透到身體時間的感知系統，以及地理空間消失之後，如何開啟人類經驗到機械性的對話？又如何重新織造屬於身體？
