BLAME IT ON THE MOON

隨著夜幕低垂，月亮逐漸顯現於天空，祂反射著白晝的光，籠罩著夜晚的生活。「月亮」自古以來被人們賦予著多樣的想像及意義，在占星學中，月亮代表著情緒、身體與心智，象徵著人們私密、本能的需求。而在過去的一段時間，癲癇、精神病、危險與瘋狂等狀態亦被視為和月亮的陰晴圓缺相關，「Lunatic」一詞，就是指涉那些受到月亮影響而精神錯亂的人。《都是月亮惹的禍》探討在這個科技快速發展的時代，比起月亮使人瘋狂的魔力，當代的影像技術與演算法似乎能更有效的擾動心智，牽動著我們的情緒與慾望，並影響睡眠與甦醒的時間。而當黑夜逐漸被電腦與手機螢幕等人造發光體填滿，這些光線在照亮生活的同時，其背後的訊息是否正控制著人們的思想與身體？使得失眠、焦慮等現象成為當代的文明病。

In history, the state of madness was believed to be linked to lunar phases. The word 'Lunatic' originally described those whose sanity was disturbed by the moon's influence. Today, algorithms and screen light have replaced the moon's ancient power. Artificial light now illuminates our lives 24/7, erasing the natural boundaries of night and day. By manipulating our desires and sleep cycles, this glow controls our thoughts and bodies. Insomnia and anxiety have thus become the civilizational diseases of technological age.
