Do You Dream of Electric Sheep?

作品賞析

CHEN I-Chun is skilled in combining materials from video recordings, animation, and oil painting to create works that focus on issues related to industrialization and class in social development. Do You Dream of Electric Sheep? is an artwork depicting a world where everyone strives to enter the white-collared society. Given the lack of blue-collared laborers, the government had no choice but to introduce work robots to ensure that the world remains operational. However, the oil crisis, robot rebellion, and civil war eventually drove the human race to extinction. Aliens from another planet eventually arrived on Earth to conduct research about the class warfare that wiped out the human race. CHEN I-Chun uses both videos and paintings to present a science fiction story to narrate great possibilities that could be achieved in this world, where everyone shares equal rights, dignity, and value to their existence, and where people can live free without fear.
