梅特·戈麦斯-莫利纳 Mayte Gomez-Molina

未来不会一天形成的。未来已经在发生,每一天都在发生。
我认为科技带给人们许多益处,但同时不少精心设计的设备和网站让我们看得停不下来,沉迷其中,开始用科技教导我们的方式去观看这个世界。
The future is not something that will come one day. The future is happening already, every day.
I believe that technology has many good things to offer to us, but also many devices and websites are designed so we don’t stop looking at them. Therefore, we become addicted, and start seeing the world as technology is teaching us to see it.

《玻璃碎了》,包含五张图像的系列作品,灵感来自将身体看作谜题的想法。身体被扭曲、分裂、打碎,看起来残缺不全、支离破碎,但是依然有一双人的眼睛在看着我们。这些数码科学怪人式的人物在寻找一个外部的旁观者,把他们的身体重新组接起来,拼合成原来的样子。这些图像的灵感来源于:在社交媒体和数字空间内身份被打破、变得多样,许多人注视着我们,让我们难以成为自己心目中的样子。
Broken (玻璃碎了) is a five-image series inspired by the idea of the body as a puzzle. Distortion, fragmentation, and shattering have happened to bodies that now appear incomplete and divided, yet they still look at us with human eyes. Digital Frankenstein’s, these figures are searching for an outside spectator that brings their pieces back together, waiting to be whole again. These images are inspired by the way identity is broken and multiple in social media and digital spaces, and how hard it is to become who we want to be when so many people are looking at us.

另一件作品只包含一幅图像,名叫《新殉道者》。它模仿了卡拉瓦乔的油画《亚历山大圣凯瑟琳》,图中一位女性为了她所坚信的事物而死去。在我对卡拉瓦乔油画的重新演绎中,圣人被新的诱惑所包围(比如粉丝和数字世界中的其他事物),她必须保持坚强才能不被其他人所愚弄。
The other work is a single image work called New Martyrs, a picture that imitates a picture by Caravaggio called Saint Cataline of Alexandria, a woman who died because of the things she believed in. In my interpretation of Caravaggio’s work, the saint is surrounded by new temptations (likes, followers, and other things of the digital world) and must be strong to don’t be fooled by them.
