这件作品源自艺术家初到墨尔本时的购车经历。一位朋友告诉他不要选择某些颜色的车,并提到了车辆颜色与种族之间的联系。在无法找到支持这一观点的统计数据后,艺术家意识到这是朋友的个人偏见和刻板印象。于是,他将摄像机放在墨尔本M1高速公路的一个交通监控摄像头上,拍摄了一小时的客观交通监控视频。在剪掉所有提到的颜色的汽车后,最终录像只有44分钟长。缺失的汽车被故障闪烁取代,使录像看起来很普通。就像其中的微小缺陷一样,偏见、刻板印象和歧视在现实生活中无处不在,但一切看起来都很正常。
This work originated from the artist’s experience of purchasing a car upon his arrival in Melbourne. A friend advised him to avoid certain car colors, citing a supposed connection between vehicle color and ethnicity. Unable to find statistics to support this claim, the artist realized it was his friend’s personal bias and stereotype. In response, he positioned his video camera over a traffic surveillance camera on the M1 highway in Melbourne, capturing a one-hour objective traffic video. After editing out all cars of the mentioned colors, the final video was reduced to 44 minutes. The missing cars were replaced by glitches, rendering the video seemingly ordinary. Much like these subtle flaws, prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination pervade real life, yet everything appears normal on the surface.
