在VR體驗中，「手」不僅是感知與操控的延伸，更是觀眾沉浸於虛擬世界的核心媒介。《意識移居必須的手部配件》延續了好奇機2024年的《Paxville－意識移居》世界觀中「愛之池」的設定，在這裡人們可以改變自己的身體構造，達成不同於現實世界的感官體驗。而本作品《意識移居必須的手部配件》的場景設定於「愛之池」的「上游」，一個提供虛擬手套穿戴服務的環境，進一步探討當手被賦予了不同於物理世界的「新功能」時，如何能影響自身與外界的互動行為。
In VR experiences, the “hand” is not only an extension of perception and control but also the central medium through which viewers immerse themselves in virtual worlds. Essential Handwear for Consciousness Migration continues the speculative universe of Paxville – Consciousness Migration (2024) by CURIOSKI, specifically expanding on the setting of the “Pool of Love” a space where individuals can alter their bodily structure to achieve sensory experiences beyond those possible in the physical world. This work takes place “upstream” from the “Pool of Love”, within a fictional environment that offers virtual glove-fitting services. It further explores how the hand—once endowed with new functions that transcend physical-world limitations—can reshape one’s modes of interaction with both the self and the surrounding environment.
CURIOSKI 好奇機
CURIOSKI 好奇機是一個由藝術家鄭伊婷與李懿澕組成的新媒體藝術團隊。他們以VR作為探索內心世界的媒介，實驗虛擬內容、新媒體裝置、身體感受間相互碰撞的可能性。CURIOSKI認為VR不僅止於視覺層面的刺激，更是一種能夠承載對世界洞察、轉化為沉浸式體驗的創作形式，進而開展意識對空間、身體感知的全新想像。
鄭伊婷與李懿澕，皆畢業於實踐大學媒體傳達設計學系，主修創意媒體。曾分別於台灣數位藝術中心舉辦VR個展。2022年發表作品《意識景觀系列》於台北當代藝術館展出，其企劃獲文策院臺法XR人才計畫赴巴黎參加新影像藝術節與產業交流活動。2024年製作首作結合實體空間與虛擬環境的沉浸式敘事作品《長日之盡》。同年發起長期創作計畫《Paxville－意識移居》，持續探索意識在虛擬世界中的存在形式與定義。
CURIOSKI is a new media art collective formed by artists Cheng Yi-Ting and Li Yi-Ho. They use VR to experiment with the dynamic interplay between virtual content, new media installations and embodied perception. They believe VR is not merely a tool for visual stimulation — it is a creative form that shows how consciousness is reshaped into immersive experiences and helps us to reimagine the perception of the body and the space in the virtual world.
Cheng Yi-Ting and Li Yi-Ho, both graduated from the Department of Communications Design at Shih-Chien University. They have each held VR solo exhibitions at DAC.TW. In 2022, CURIOSKI presented their debut, A Glimpse of the Mind Landscapes, at MOCA Taipei. Next year, they joined the Taiwan x France XR Days Program for the Newimages Festival and industry exchanges in Paris. In 2024, they produced their first immersive narrative VR work The Insider, integrating physical spaces with virtual environments. In the same year, they initiated the long-term creative project Paxville – Consciousness Migration, continuously exploring the forms and definitions of consciousness in virtual reality.
