陶亞倫的作品中經常使用隱藏的動力機械，與緩慢的電子影像，藉由穩定而循環的頻率，呈現生命中一種幽微的脈動。近年來的作品以「光」為主要的創作元素，並從裝置的形式轉變成以場域及空間氛圍的形式，觀眾必須以身體直接浸淫在他的作品中，被迫以直覺來感受一種「存在狀態的模擬」。在他一篇《停止超速回歸古老身體與創造有機機械》的創作自述中提到：「企圖以身體的古老頻率來拖住巨大的機械動力，使機械運轉的速度，受我們的身體控制，而非機器不斷加速生產，造就利潤與消費了身體。」在當今傳媒消費的時代裏，我們古老的身體似乎跟不上這日進千里的「速度生活」，而今日的電傳網路世界也慢慢的僭越及抹除身體的直接經驗，而陶亞倫則試圖將這「身體經驗」重新喚回，就如同他所說的：「我的創作核心命題是以敏銳的直覺與還原古老身體的節奏，作為人類擺脫被科技物化的良藥，與面對超速機械文明的心靈出口。」

本次作品是在一個兩邊皆為鏡子的全黑空間裡，以強光照亮空氣中的懸浮微粒，並藉由無線延伸的鏡射形成一道光牆，這道緩慢上下移動的光牆直接穿越過身體，日常熟悉的知覺經驗，於此頓時效。在這無目的的、並無任何指涉及無限延展的空間向度之間，一種身體最原初的感知被喚醒。(文/ 袁廣鳴，譯者/朱嘉曦)

Tao Ya-lun often utilizes hidden motorized machinery and slow electronic images in order to show seemingly tinymovements through a stable and repeated frequency. In recent years, he has chosen ‘light’ as the main element for hisworks. His style has also changed from earlier installations to ones with an emphasis on space and room. Viewers mustsoak themselves completely in his works to use their intuition to feel the “simulation of existence.” His work ZeroIdeology consists of a completely dark space with both sides in mirrors to emphasize the floating particles in the air usingstrong lights. The limitless mirror reflection forms a wall of light, which slowly moves up and down. The purpose of thispiece is to awaken the most primitive sensory feeling of one’s body in a space that has no boundaries, purposes or pointof reference.
