韋至恆 [ 戰爭玩具之混種派對! ]

戰爭在台灣這塊土地上,似乎是一項切身,但又具備這可遙想的事件。
台灣地理位置上面對著,對岸的強勢,在我的眼裡是一種既似歡樂的、可愛的、
性感的Party即將要發生。隨著當代的媒體環境,戰爭被消費成精彩的特效場景,給予人們一連串的錯亂與幻覺。

因此,我從戰爭的議題切入。利用電玩卡漫的輕鬆手法,將戰爭武器做一種轉換,成為了既是攻擊性的武裝機器,又是凶猛的動物。以一種「一語雙關」式的敘述與虛造,說明戰爭武器像是具有動物般的獸性,來帶出我所要的反諷與批判。在全球化底下,恐怖戰爭的「好萊塢」化,似乎是一種我們所處的錯亂當下。「混種戰爭動物」將成為我對於這個世界的重新設定,我將會以寫歷史的狀態下,來關注與批判這個環境與地球。

[ The War Toys at the Hybrid Party ]
WEI, CHIH-HENG

In Taiwan, war seems of personal concern but also a fantastic event. Taiwan faces the mighty force from across the Strait; to me, what comes from this intense rivalry atmosphere is a happy, cute, and sexy party action. Present day mass media has consumed war into spectacular stunned scenes, giving people a series of illusions and fantasies.

Consequently, I choose war as my main theme in order to represent the chaos in today’s media society. Executing by ways of animation or comics, I transform the war weapon to become a pun of killing device and fierce animal. I wish to represent the weapon as animalistic and show that the war is full of irony. Under globalization, the “Hollywoodization” of war is common. “The Hybrid War Animal” is my redefinition of the world. I will keep on criticizing today’s phenomenon and acting as a historian, continuing to record the contemporary events.
