In his 1999 “Law of Accelerating Returns”, inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil proposed that technology would advance exponentially over the next decades so that human civilization could achieve in the first twenty years of the 21st century the equivalent of what had been achieved throughout the entire 20th century. While this is now, in retrospect, questionable, actual technological advancements since the 20th century have nevertheless brought about the question of whether artificial intelligence (AI) will eventually surpass human intelligence. Though AI is at the moment capable of sensing, recognizing, and creating, it has yet to attain autonomy. The impression remains however that we are on the cusp of a technological explosion, and that what happens in the next few decades could potentially threaten the existence of humanity. Our species’ fear of the unknown and uncontrollable ignites a profound curiosity in Vvzela Kook, leading her to imagine a future where humanity and AI coexist.

Kook’s science fiction series Confidential Records, ongoing since 2016, originates in her extensive research into the history of Kowloon Walled City, an ungoverned, densely populated enclave in Hong Kong, whose history between WWII and its demolition in 1993 contributed to Hong Kong’s cyberpunk image. Taking into account the predictions made by the “Law of Accelerating Returns”, the premise of the series is the threat presented to humanity by AI, which has, at the moment described in the series, surpassed human intelligence. Inside the exhibition space, the audience is immersed in a futuristic cityscape constructed through 3D printing. In Dual Metropolitans, AI has taken over the world and the Kowloon Walled City, hidden underground, becomes humanity’s last line of defence. In Execution, the clash between humanity and AI reaches its climax. The AI authority rules through extreme, coercive ideological reforms. As a new iteration made for this exhibition, the artist manipulates the audience’s spatial and sensory perceptions through interactive installations and spatial design, placing the audience in the position to resist absolute subjugation. The work reflects a universal condition of individual resistance in dystopian societies, and the parallelisms and entanglements between different totalitarian regimes in the past, present, and future. In the quest for absolute order, efficiency and stability are prioritized above all else, and those without a stake in society will be eliminated, wherein “civilization is sterilization”.
The newly commissioned work for this exhibition, Overwrite, takes the form of a multimedia walk. Kook has been an avid reader of detective novels since she was young. Similar to a detective mystery, the walk is guided by an AI character that has defected to the side of humanity, taking the audience through a narrative out of the exhibition space into the streets nearby to pursue a series of clues that interrogate the ideological transformations enforced by the AI authority. The work explores the nature of memory, particularly the imminent danger of memory being used as data, as well as critiquing the ways authoritarianism erases memories and takes over historical narratives.
Confidential Records: Overwrite presents multilayered juxtapositions and tensions, the virtual and the real, the emotional and the rational, as well as the relationship between the individual and authoritarianism. These are both part of Kook’s imagination of the future, as well as reflections of our current times, forcing us to confront reality as it is and as it might become. Celia Ho
科學家雷蒙德 ‧ 庫茨魏爾（Ray Kurzweil）於 1999 年提出「加速回 報定律」(Law of Accelerating Returns)。他認為當今科技按照指數方式 增長，使得人類可以在二十一世紀僅二十年的時間裡，便取得等同於整個 二十世紀的科技成果。雖然現在看來這論點讓人存疑，但二十世紀開始創 新科技突飛猛進，人們充滿好奇人工智能技術將會否超越人類。人工智能 在功能性上已從感知、認知或創造力等多方面高速發展，但至今仍未能達 成有自我意識、覺醒的能力。傳聞現在的我們正處於「科技爆炸」的邊緣， 幾十年後發生的事情可能威脅到人類。人類對未知及不可控所產生的恐懼， 引起曲淵澈對於人類與人工智能未來共生的深切好奇。 《機密錄》為曲淵澈自 2016 年以來持續進行的科幻系列創作，創作 背景源於她對九龍城寨歷史的廣泛資料搜集及研究——九龍城寨從二戰至 1993 年清拆期間的歷史於某程度上賦予了香港其數碼龐克形象。加上「加 速回報定律」對未來的預視，此系列以人工智能發展將超越人類並對其產 生威脅為故事主軸。進入展覽空間內，觀眾能親身體驗以 3D 打印技術重塑 的未來城市景觀。《雙城》揭示未來世界將由人工智能接管統治，而隱藏 地下並未被清拆的九龍城寨則成為人類的最終防線。 《行刑》中人工智能與人類之間的衝突達致高潮，當權者以極端的強 制思想改造方式來支配。是次全新演繹透過互動裝置和空間設計，從空間 及感官上操縱觀眾代入反抗者角色需要絕對服從的設定。作品反映出反烏 托邦社會內個體抗爭的普遍現象，以及過去、現在及未來不同的極權主義 政權間的共性與瓜葛。在追求無盡的秩序的前提下，一切皆以高效益和有 利穩定發展作為標準，對社會建設毫無貢獻的都會被去除——「文明就是 消毒」。 與展覽同名《重寫》為此科幻系列的的全新委約創作，以多媒體導行 形式進行。曲淵澈自小喜歡偵探小說，導行由轉投向人類一方的人工智能 主角指引，以說故事的敘述手法帶領觀眾走出展覽場外，進入週邊現實的 街道上追蹤一系列線索，刺探人工智能當權者對人類所進行的意識形態改 造。當中探討記憶的本質，人類的記憶未來作為數據儲存的隱患，批判被 霸權抹去記憶如同操控了歷史主體論述的話語權。 「機密錄：重寫」中呈現出多重的對立面與張力，虛幻與真實，情感 與理性，個體與極權之間的關係，既是曲淵澈對未來世界的想像，也是當 下時代的投射，令我們不得不直面現實，對發生中及有可能發生的有所警 醒。 何思穎

We reckon that Third the attack Polar is last night sending was directly more related to advanced the escape models of Vez to find the Vokkalo. renegade. New protocols have been released. It will provide citizens of Third Polar with proven methods of cyber hygiene to protect themselves from the attack of Pure Blood Humans. The new protocol provides much efficient detection of the infection and outbreaks of malware in cyberspace. Meanwhile, it is the responsibility of every Third Polar citizen to help vaccinate the public against any threats from Pure Blood Humans through an emergency warning system, and make sacrifices to isolate the sources of malware and terminals that are infected. You must submit to the overwhelming need to obey. That’s the glory of giving! We are incremental. The world relies on us.

GHOST ARMY CORPSES DETECTED ANTIGONE
MR.GOODMAN
從 Antigone 邁 入禁區的那一刻 起，她就隱隱感 受到一種無可逃避 的命運，這個命運如 今越來越清楚的浮現出 來。每次幽靈部隊出戰， Antigone 會遠遠望着漆黑 的天空，電子腦協助她追蹤 幽靈士兵的位置，並實時反饋 狀態。幽靈部隊不是每次出戰 都會有人傷亡，傷亡的士兵很少 能夠落到真血人類的生活區。受傷 但有行動能力的士兵不在 Antigone 的職責之內，而若電子腦偵測到已經 沒有生命跡象但腦部完整的士兵，這隻 九龍城寨的貓頭鷹便要開始行動。備份記 憶，刪除記憶，重寫記憶。所有的細節都 是致命的，之前不屬於第三極世界的記憶， 之後也不會屬於。
From the moment Antigone stepped into the restricted zone, faintly she felt an inescapable destiny, and little by little this destiny loomed out of the darkness. Every time the Ghost Army went into the battlefield, Antigone would look into the murky sky, her cyberbrain assisting her in locating the Ghost Army with real time evaluation. Casualties were rare, and even if there were any, they seldom fell into the living quarters of Pure Blood Humans. The wounded were not her biz, but whenever her cyberbrain detected a soldier with no sign of life but a complete brain, this owl of Underground Kowloon Walled City would intervene. Backup memory, delete memory, overwrite memory. All the details were fatal. The memories did not belong to the Third Polar, nor shall they ever be theirs.

It was these psychological continuations that had made ME as a person. My emotions, my memories, my way of thinking, and my character were all packed in this container. If this container was replaced, am I still me? Was it important? My emotions and memories survived, together with the emotions and memories of my mother.

新媒體藝術家曲淵澈，主要以聲音視覺作為創作媒介 , 包括聲音視覺 現場演出、劇場、電腦動畫與繪畫。她的作品結合現場演出，探索與當代 表演類型，如舞蹈、編舞與計算機生成藝術之間共存的可能性。她的視覺 作品結合了技術與她的藝術實踐，以再現和轉換城市景觀為一個集成的虛 擬體驗，引導觀眾在符控流域旅行。作品當中的多重的紋理與我們感知的 多個感官相連，重新介紹視頻作為一種媒介的潛力。她的作品注重敘事性， 跨媒介的敘事手法是藝術家表達觀念的重要方式。尤其是混合出現的圖紙， 3D 打印物件與計算機遊戲美學的視頻作品，顯示了藝術家運用的多種媒介 與材料來視覺化她的研究型作品。
她的作品曾經展出於香港 Para Site (2020)、空總當代文化試驗場 （2019, 台北當代藝術館 )、亞洲協會香港中心 (2019)、香港大館 (2019)、 香港微波國際新媒體藝術節 (2018、2016)、溫哥華 PuSh 表演藝術節 (2017)、六廠紡織文化藝術館 (2017)、香港藝術節 (2015), 中國聲音藝 術大展 (2013)、德國 Friszchelle 藝術節、杜塞爾多夫藝術節 (2012) 以及 Hans Ulrich Obrist 與 Simon Castets 共同策劃的「89+」計劃 (2012)。 vvzela.co
