艺术家陈佩之曾写道,平息一个人的想法最确凿的方式就是将它们“偶像化”——模糊地再现已知之物,让它们与那些使生命经验变得有趣和复杂的矛盾与冲突隔绝开来,被封存的想法变得不可变、难以渗透,如同偶像一般。在英国,偶隐和偶像崇拜有着明确的历史,与宗教、政治和消费主义都有着密不可分的关系。今天的偶像可以是大众明星、艺术家、甚至是品牌。对偶像的建构和恋物癖,以及它们所引发的各种崇拜形式,透过科技和数码文化的棱镜折射出来——这或许便是马克·菜基作品的根基。 Artist Chen Pei-chih wrote that the surest way to quell a person’s ideas is to “idolize” them - vaguely recreating known things and isolating them from conflicts and conflicts that make life experiences interesting and complex Open, sealed idea has become immutable, difficult to infiltrate, like an idol. In England, covert and idolatrous worship has a clear history and is inextricably linked to religion, politics and consumerism. Today’s idol can be a pop star, artist, or even a brand. The construction of idols and fetishism, as well as the forms of worship they generate, are reflected through the prism of technology and digital culture - perhaps the foundations of Mark’s portfolio.
