Response:Algorithmic decision making has become ubiquitous in our daily lives, catering to our desires and preferences with remarkable efficiency. With the help of algorithms, we are able to navigate through an overwhelming amount of information and make informed decisions quickly. However, the ease and convenience of algorithmic decision making can also lead to the formation of bad habits. We become overly reliant on technology, passively accepting recommendations without considering their validity or impact on our lives. Moreover, the abundance of choices presented to us by algorithmic decision making can create a tyranny of choice. Endless options can lead to decision fatigue, anxiety, and even regret. We may become so overwhelmed by the possibilities that we are unable to make a decision at all, leading to missed opportunities and negative consequences. To avoid falling into the trap of habit formation and the tyranny of choice, it is crucial to be mindful of our desires and actively seek out diverse perspectives and experiences. We must approach algorithmic decision making with a critical eye, considering the potential biases and limitations of the data and algorithms being used. Only then can we ensure that algorithmic decision making remains a force for good in our lives. 演題: 請寫一篇 200 字的聲明，將算法決策與欲望、習慣形成和選擇暴政聯繫起來。 回應: 算法決策已經成為我們日常生活中無處不在的存在，以驚人的效率迎合我們的欲望和偏好。透過算法的幫 助，我們能夠在海量的信息中快速做出決策。然而，算法決策的便捷性和方便性也可能導致形成不良習慣。 我們過度依賴技術，被動接受推薦而不考慮它們的有效性或對我們生活的影響。 此外，算法決策所呈現的豐富選擇可能會造成選擇的暴政。無盡的選擇可能導致決策疲勞、焦慮甚至後悔。 我們可能會因為可能性太多而無法做出決策，從而錯失機會和產生負面後果。 為了避免落入形成不良習慣和選擇暴政的陷阱，我們必須謹記自己的欲望並積極尋求多元化的觀點和經驗。 我們必須以批判的眼光看待算法決策，並考慮使用的數據和算法的潛在偏見和限制。只有這樣，我們才能確 保算法決策在我們生活中保持為正面的力量。 https://tsangkawai.com/emo-gym-group-show Tue, 18 Jan 2022 18:27:27 +0000 Eason

multimedia installation creates an atmosphere of idling. pleco offers a close-up observation of the fish sticking to the glass wall of tank and feeding on algae – a survival skill that exposes itself completely unguarded to the outside world, while on the opposite side, pump displays a constant supply of oxygen in the form of fragmented monitors. these two works evoke the frustration of all the attempts to replace face to face interactions with virtual solutions through monitors. at certain moments, the silence is interrupted by a huge projection, wormhole, which is a visualisation of a “wormhole”, a speculative structure linking disparate points in spacetime, with industrial drills. will the ruthless drill break us free from physical confinement or lead us back to the loop?

Landmark, Tsang shifts his focus from public space to the relatively closed spaces of interior and underground tunnel. The spectacle mode of viewing in his previous works is elevated to a more distinct perception. Through the combination of light boxes, televisions, sand paper and videos, the spectacle mode of viewing in his previous works is elevated to a more distinct perception. The works featured in this exhibition stem from Tsang’s astute capture of the absurdity and powerlessness of city life. Through a series of photography and video installations, the artist creates an effectual link between physical contradictions and material efficiency, which reveals the paralysis and aphasia of the individual against the tremendous social mechanisms at work.
