在數位時代，觀看已成為一種權力形式，影響並形塑個體的行為。傅柯（Michel Foucault）在「全景監獄」（Panopticon）理論中揭示，當個體意識到自己隨時可能被觀看時，便會內化外部規範，進而自我約束。祖博夫（Shoshana Zuboff）則在「監控資本主義」中指出，數位平台利用這種觀看權力，將使用者行為數據化並加以剝削。《Fragile Signals》即是對此現象的深刻反思，透過影像、AI 技術與沉浸式體驗，揭示觀看與被觀看之間脆弱而畸形的權力關係，並探討社交媒體如何在暴露與控制之間操縱個體。

作品將觀者帶入一個投影包覆的沉浸式空間，使其扮演一位網路性暴力被害者，接觸社群媒體並掉入網路上的甜蜜陷阱。隨著網友的散佈、網路流量與關注的驅使，個體逐漸展露私密一面，並在 AI 生成的影像中被重塑為可被凝視、評價甚至侵犯的對象。作品運用 webcam 進行動作捕捉，使觀者的影像被 AI 重新組合並投射至展場空間，形成一種被觀看的壓迫感。這種動態視覺效果模擬網路暴力的衝擊，讓觀者親身感受數位環境下自我形象如何失控並淪為公眾商品。

在這種觀看經濟的體系中，「自願曝光」與「被動操控」之間的界線愈發模糊。個體在社群媒體的運作邏輯下，逐漸內化被觀看的需求，最終迎合演算法與數據驅動的關注機制。這種現象呼應了傅柯的「權力自我規訓」，數位監視不再依賴外部強制，而是透過平台設計讓個體自發地參與並維持自身的可見性。作品透過這種沉浸式體驗，使觀者反思自己在社群媒體中的行為模式，並意識到無形的監控如何影響自我認同與行動選擇。

《Fragile Signals》不僅揭露數位性暴力的運作機制，也批判當代社交媒體如何利用觀看與數據操控來剝削個體。作品以視覺與技術手段具象化網路監視的壓迫感，使觀者從被動的觀看者轉變為身歷其境的受害者。這種體驗提醒了人們，數位環境並非無形無害，而是一個充滿權力運作與監控機制的場域。透過這場沉浸式體驗，作品試圖喚醒人們對個人數據權利與隱私保護的意識，並在數位世界的洪流中重新掌控自身的形象與存在。

Fragile Signals

In the digital age, watching has become a form of power that influences and shapes individual behavior. Michel Foucault's Panopticon theory reveals that when individuals become aware of the possibility of constant surveillance, they internalize external norms and regulate themselves accordingly. Shoshana Zuboff, in Surveillance Capitalism, further argues that digital platforms exploit this power of observation, turning user behavior into data for extraction and manipulation. Fragile Signals is a deep reflection on this phenomenon, using visuals, AI technology, and immersive experiences to expose the fragile and distorted power dynamics between the observer and the observed, while critically examining how social media manipulates individuals between exposure and control.

The work places the audience inside an immersive projection space, positioning them as victims of online sexual violence who engage with social media and fall into digital entrapment. As online users spread their information, driven by internet traffic and public attention, the individual gradually unveils their private self, eventually being reshaped by AI-generated imagery into an object of gaze, judgment, and even violation. By utilizing webcam-based motion tracking, the audience’s image is captured, reassembled by AI, and projected into the exhibition space, creating an overwhelming sense of being watched. This dynamic visual effect simulates the impact of online violence, allowing participants to personally experience how self-image spirals out of control in the digital realm, becoming a commodity for public consumption.

Within this system of the economy of attention, the boundary between voluntary exposure and passive manipulation becomes increasingly blurred. Under the operational logic of social media, individuals gradually internalize the need to be seen, ultimately conforming to algorithmic and data-driven attention mechanisms. This phenomenon aligns with Foucault’s concept of self-disciplining power, where digital surveillance no longer relies on external coercion but instead encourages individuals to willingly participate in maintaining their own visibility through platform design. Through this immersive experience, Fragile Signals prompts the audience to reflect on their behavioral patterns in social media and recognize how invisible surveillance shapes self-identity and decision-making.
