《矽晶小夜曲》的靈感來自半導體產業的基礎原料——矽,其作為製造晶片的關鍵元素,可從沙灘中提取。作品結合台灣工業技術研究院研發 AI 專用晶片的製作過程紀錄影像、以遊戲引擎生成的虛擬海岸,以及水下大提琴演奏的場景,並由生成式 AI 創作音樂,透過虛實影像的並置與轉換,探討當代技術的發展如何緊密依存於物質世界。)
Inspired by the fact that the silicon for semiconductor wafers that are essential to modern digital technology products can be extracted from sandy beaches, Silicon Serenade is composed of a virtual seaside, an underwater cello performance scene, and footage from the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan, which conducts research on chips used exclusively for AI, with music by a generative AI to examine the latest technologies at the level of their materials.
