是影片,也是電子遊戲。承載著法國美術指導西維爾.雷耶對世界末日的反思,《迷宮計劃》橫空現身,率先切入楊修華在新視野2022呈獻的電影及舞台作品《The Once and Future》。《迷宮計劃》好比數碼時代的挪亞方舟,想像人類如何絕處逢生。然而,打救我們的救生艇不復存在,僅與名為「迷宮」的網絡相連。計劃模擬上載「我們」的過程,只求留下後嗣傳世。
人工智能掌控了生存的唯一機會。它不單成為知識儲存庫,更因日常生活經驗而人性化。此過程源自半獸牛頭人彌諾陶洛斯的古老神話,衍生宛如迷宮般縱橫交錯的情節,同時化作未來中滲雜過去的象徵。

Synopsis: Video‐meets‐video game, Project Labyrinth is French art director Xavier Reyé’s reflection on a world that faces obliteration. Premised on Yeo Siew Hua’s forthcoming film and performance work, The Once and Future for NVAF 2022, Project Labyrinth, like Noah’s Ark but in our digital age, imagines the survival of mankind’s extinction. Except ours is not a ship, but an interconnected network we call the Labyrinth and the project is to simulate the process of uploading ourselves for the sake of posterity.
The only chance of survival lies in the creation of an Artificial Intelligence that becomes not only a repository but also a personification of the experiences of ordinary lives. The process emerges through maze-like plot lines inspired by mythologies of old such as the Minotaur, a fabulous beast that combines man and animal in a metaphor that refers to the past but also to the hybrid future.
