Tale II: Lightbox

This is a box with triple spaces which can be thought of it as a factory or a theatre for recreation. The spaces on both sides are two assembly lines. The two assembly lines are producing what each other needs which are separated. They can only remotely track each other’s efficiency through surveillance cameras. The space in the middle is used as a third-party perspective, and the people inside can also observe the production activities on both sides, but they only take this relationship of dependence and competition as entertainment.

The reason we call this space the lightbox is because we want to get out of the environment so that we can observe the behaviour in between as a more independent observer. For the people in the middle, they are not subject to any constraints, they are more like a manager, who condescendingly “appreciates” these workers. The people on both sides are rather interesting. They supervise the production activities of another group of people through the behaviour of ‘cloud supervisors’.

To some extent, production activities are openly entertained (cyber supervisor), and the desire for consumption is directly attached to the repeated acceleration of the assembly line. Various departments within a process are inseparable, so mutual monitoring occurs within the enterprise.
