 圈圈島」是一個集體共感的視覺記憶資料庫，每個島民都遙在我們的記憶深處－ 色被色彩再度虛構的卡漫角色。

         「函數色彩」是我從2004年開始發展的創作，在創作過程中以幾何圖形同心圓為基礎對卡漫角色的色彩進行轉置並且把它們重新置入卡漫的原始場景，探究卡漫角色的訊息式的色彩系譜以及其透過大眾傳播而深植大眾腦海中的集體視覺記憶。 2010年底起我開始開放網友訂製卡漫角色同心圓，並且在具有微網誌特質的Facebook社交網站介面上成立「圈圈島」網路社群。向我訂製卡漫角色之色彩同心圓的網友在社團中分享卡漫角色與劇情或者與之有交集的各種連結。隨著社團成員的增加卡漫角色的系譜的觸角也延伸的更廣，「圈圈島」將「函數色彩」的概念擴充成一個集體共感的視覺記憶的資料庫，一種透過網路連結而產生的社群式田野調查。在這件作品中我想探索的還有訊息傳遞過程所呈顯出的群體的心理運動軌跡，因為這個心理運動的軌跡除了意味著網路媒體年代訊息傳遞的路徑與方法，也意謂著網路提供了一種合作式的與開放式的的群體協作。

                                           

The idea of “Circle Island” :

“Circle Island” is a collective visual memory database. Every citizen of the island are tuck away deep down within our memory, characters with fabricated colors.

    “Circle Island” is based on my series works “Function Color” which I started to develop since 2004. During the process of working on “Function Colors”, I transform the characters into centric circles and replace the circles back in to the original setting of the cartoon scenes. By the end of 2010, I started accepting orders of  characters circles from Facebook users, and created a ‘Circle Island Group’ on social networking website Facebook. Members that order characters circles share the character traits and cartoon plot or links related to the character in the group. As members increase, so does the lineage and reach of these characters. “Circle Island” takes the concept of “Function Color” and expanded into a collective visual memory database, a method of field research that is carried out through Internet and social networking groups. Within this piece of work, I am also looking to explore group psychological movements during the delivery of information, because this represents the method and path which information are delivered in the era of Internet media, and also meant Internet provided a cooperative and open platform for collaborative work.
