偶然間,我發現Google留存了我一直以來的搜尋紀錄。
起初滿懷新奇地閱讀,讀到越來越多從未與他人提及的私密煩惱時,新奇逐漸轉為赤裸。我毫無保留地對網際網路(Internet)提問,祂知無不言的答覆,理應感激涕零,但這些不知不覺留下的紀錄,卻像是對我內心的赤裸偷拍。我該生氣嗎?我對祂的依賴在字裡行間一覽無遺。我早已忘了沒有祂的生活,甚至對於數位原住民(Digital native)的我來說,也許根本不曾經歷這種生活。這難道是種人質情節?抑或對賽博格嵌入物的心裡排斥?
網際網路一直給人一種「公開」的印象,但祂與人之間的關係,似乎又比想像中私密。我想藉由把搜尋紀錄不經挑選地全然揭露在公共空間中來尋求解答。如果我把我告訴祂的事情,也都告訴大家了,那麼我對祂的感覺會變成什麼?
By chance, I discovered that Google had kept my search history all along.
At first, I read with novelty. But as I read more and more about my private worries that I had never shared with anyone, the novelty gradually turned into nakedness. I asked the Internet unabashedly, and it answered with omniscience. I should be grateful for these answers, yet these records I unknowingly left behind feel like a voyeuristic snapshot of my inner world. Should I be angry? My dependence on it is apparent in every word. I’ve long forgotten life without it, and perhaps, as a digital native, I’ve never even experienced such a life. Is this some kind of Stockholm syndrome, or a psychological rejection of cybernetic implants?
The Internet always gives the impression of being “public,” but its relationship with people seems more intimate than imagined. I seek answers by exposing my search history unfiltered in public spaces. If I tell everyone what I’ve told it, what would my feelings towards it become?

陽春麵研究舍由陳姿尹、莊向峰組成,藉由電影、裝置、網路藝術、錄像、攝影等多元媒材進行創作。
我們來自不同背景,企圖以跨領域的思維相互激盪,共同關注數位時代的產物與人們的互動關係對生活型態產生的轉變及影響。
我們也共同對陽春麵有著無法抗拒的熱情,期望我們可以像陽春麵一樣,用最貼近生活的觀念,創造出最美妙的味道。
過去的作品曾展出於國立台灣美術館、C-LAB、182ARTSPACE等機構。

Simple noodle art is formed by Chen Ziyin and Zhuang Gotop. We work with a diverse range of mediums including film, installation, internet art, video, and photography.
Coming from different backgrounds, we attempt to inspire each other with interdisciplinary thinking, jointly focusing on the changes and impacts on lifestyle brought about by the interaction between products and people in the digital age.
We also share an irresistible passion for simple noodles, hoping that we can create the most wonderful flavors with concepts as close to life as simple noodles.
Our past works have been exhibited at institutions such as the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, C-LAB, and 182ARTSPACE.
