《抽象神谕矿机》是一个互动装置，参与者扫描二维码即可进入艺术家设计的网站，随后用户手机的硬件性能数值会被读取。屏幕上将被光怪陆离的三维场景占据，并生成一条随机生成的缩略词组合，如神谕一般。在整个过程中，手机硬件的温度有可能会上升，图像渲染速度也会出现波动，也就是说，每一条虚拟“神谕”的产生都是手机算力消耗的结果。硬件设备——这一虚拟世界的基础结构——实实在在的运作与损耗的过程在这里被放大和强化，仿佛是为换取“神谕”而进贡的祭品，艺术家以此提醒观众，“虚拟”从来不是轻如鸿毛、无中生有的。

Abstract Oracle Miner

Abstract Oracle Miner is an interactive installation work. Participants scan a QR code to access a website designed by the artist, which then measures the hardware performance of the user’s mobile phone. Their screen will render strange 3D scenes as well as a randomly generated string of oracular acronyms. In the process, the phone's temperature may rise, and the speed of the rendering may fluctuate. That is to say, each prophetic expression is produced by consuming the computing power of the phone. The real operations and depletions of hardware—the basic infrastructure of the virtual world—are here emphasized and made visible, used as an offering to this digital oracle. The artist reminds us that the “virtual” is not without material presence, nor is it generated out of thin air.
