這件作品探討了生命複製、賽博格和基因改造等技術發展,對人類生活及文明帶來哪些可能性和風險。作品中擁有人類身軀以及科莫多巨蜥四肢的半獸人是藝術家多諾所創造的「多諾龍」(Donosaurus)。這五個個體極其相似,猶如複製出的生命體,臀部下方安裝著風扇,以蹲坐的滑稽姿態散發體內的熱量,彷彿愚鈍的機械,簡單且重複地運作著。這一新物種的出現,揭示了高科技工程技術可能模糊虛擬與現實的邊界,並能夠創造、混合出全新形態的生命體。然而,這件作品同時也在示警,若這樣的技術落入錯誤的權力之手,可能引發災難與戰爭,這些生命體更以諷刺的方式表現出單一且壓迫性的政治與政策可能如基因改造般危險。
This work explores the potential impacts and risks that clones, cyborgs, and genetic modification pose to human life and civilisation. The orc Donosaurus, a creation of artist Dono, combines a human body with Komodo dragon limbs. These hybrid creatures are designed to mimic simplistic, mindless machines running endlessly. The five Donosauruses appear as identical replicas, evocative of clones. They are positioned in a comical squat, with fans ingeniously installed on their bottoms to facilitate body heat reduction. The appearance of this new species reminds viewers that high-tech engineering might blur the lines between reality and virtuality, potentially creating entirely new forms of organisms. Furthermore, this work cautions viewers that if such capabilities fall into the wrong hands, disasters and wars might be imminent. The five Donosauruses also sardonically comment on how autocratic, oppressive policies might be as dangerous as genetic modifications.
