Works statement:
This work is a combination of random and accidental videos and sounds recorded with mobile phones in life, to present a narrative story in China from multiple perspectives, which mainly focus on destiny, free will, and how to face failure. Meanwhile, I used Heidegger’s philosophical concept called “Wurf” (throw) to construct this video work’s frame, And the changes in personal life and destiny are transformed into simple data information changes through the methods of financial derivatives and data securitisation in commercial companies. The videos of these fragments are connected into four linear narrative short films to explore what is the state of the individual's free will in the face of the contingency and randomness of fate? And what is the significance of human initiative in confronting larger mystical forces? It is also a reflection on the state of oneself and the collective.
作品介绍：
这个作品是用手机在生活中偶然拾得的视频与声音的记录串联出四段线性的叙事影像。
通过结合海德格尔关于人与命运间的多重“抛”的关系为框架，以及借用商业公司中资产折算与数据证券化的方式，将个人的人生命运中的变化简化为数据信息的变化走向。我们日常的行动和决定被默默的记录，我们的价值、信誉、未来潜力以及外貌，甚至你的意愿与观念都能被大数据化，也以数据的方式可视。
数据化与量化给予我们某种确定性与可预测性，塑造着我们认知的茧房，以及提供工具理性的判断依据。 但运气是无常的、变动的，在面对命运的偶然性与随机性时，个体的德性与自由意志能发挥什么样的作用？当然，在对抗宏大的不可逆的神秘力量时，人的主动性的意义如何？
