「謝了,當代教我一無所懼。」
“FEAR NOTHING, CAUSE WE KNOW WHERE WE'VE BEEN THROUGH.”
這個世代,「謾罵」變得相當容易、「二分」成了唯一的選擇,取寵且短淺的訊息霸佔螢光幕。我們逐漸養成直接相信「所見」架築出的判斷,依著這個判斷來認定我們的「存在」,再憑藉著這個「存在」來論斷我們的「所見」。
在反覆折衝思量之下,既然慣於觀看影像多於細究詳實是閱聽者的習性,我們作為數位媒體的一份子,肩負的便不只是畫面構成的美感,而是將資訊如實理解後轉化為感動人心的視覺、聽覺。藉由我們傳達的媒體介質,帶出社會的反思與檢討,努力創作出可以改變甚至翻轉社會的可能。
之所以以感謝作為出發點,是因為過往的學習歷程中,我們試圖衝出泥淖、創出典範,卻時常感到無力。所幸師長與親友的耐心提點、環境的無奈催逼,都讓我們得以有機會不斷修正,一路走到今天。
感謝這個時代,不停止的訊息彈跳和反覆濫造的媒體,壞透了卻也好得無比。讓我們得以透過作品說話,讓THX的意念繼續被傳遞,打破時間、距離的限制,懷抱著改變世界的夢想,無懼地激盪出精彩的時代經典。
此次畢業展乘載了145位參展人過往的學習與閱歷,將年輕設計師們最關注的命題轉化為影像。從致謝出發,回溯二十年生命歷程中觸動的片段,究竟是什麼建立起對世界的覺察,又是什麼讓我們起身創作?
In the generation, it is easy to inveigh, dichotomizing thinking becomes the only choice and eye-catching and shallow information has occupied the screen. We are getting used to believe directly the judgments out of what we saw, identify our existence with the judgments and then deduce what we saw with the existence.
In our consideration, since viewing the images more than investigating fact is the habit of audiences, our duty as a part of the digital media is not only to construct aesthetic feeling, but also to transform the information into touching vision and hearing after comprehension. We try to bring out the introspection and create the possibility to change and even flip the society with the media.
We choose the gratitude as the origin. From the past learning progress, we tried to get out of the loach and set a paragon but often felt powerless. Thanks to the patient reminder from teachers and pressure of the environment, we have gotten the opportunity to make correction and go all the way to today.
Thank the generation for the nonstop information explosion and repetitive media. It was the worst of times but meanwhile the best of times. We get to speak through the work. The ideas of THX would continue to be passed, break the limitation of time and distance, embrace the dream of changing the world and collide the classic of the time fearlessly.
The graduation exhibition carried the past learning and experience of 145 exhibitors. The issues that the young designers cared the most have been transformed into visual arts. Starting from appreciation, we recollect the touching memory in the past 20 years. What established our awareness of the world, and what made us start to create?
