「你覺得活著的意義是什麼呢？」

Siri :

我說，人為什麼要活著？

就是要活得漂亮，活得瀟灑，活得清楚，活得得意，活得無怨無悔，活得喜事連連，活得日日好日日月月好月年年好年！

觀者將在VR中進行團圓飯的儀式，但桌緣的食客缺席著，徒留空間中我與Siri一段借屍還魂的對話，並透過穿梭於不同空間之畫外音敘事。我將雲端的「祂」假想成離世的「她」，聊著關於親人死亡的未竟之事。

空間中的「圓」除了是視覺符號，也乘載了文化記憶，關於團圓、循環、圓缺.。藉由360視覺、聽覺科技捕捉並再現影像視角與文化之間的關係。

The audience will be having a reunion dinner in VR, but the diners at the table are absent. This leaves only the conversation I have with Siri, like borrowing a corpse to resurrect the soul—telling stories by using a voice-over narration that crosses between different dimensions. I imagine the "thou" in the cloud as "she" who has passed away, talking about unfinished business in the deaths of our loved ones.

In addition to being a visual symbol, "circles" in space also carry cultural memories with regards to reunion, cycles, and the waxing and waning of the moon. Using 360-degree visual and audio technology, the work captures and manifests the relationship between the perspective of images and culture.

Note: Siri is a virtual assistant. It uses voice queries and a natural-language user interface to interact with humans.
