「我常常會捨不得買新的東西，與其購買，亦常常會有自己動手做一個出來看看的想法與行動。久而久之，我養成了使用回收電器，或是改裝廢棄物件、零件以再利用的習慣。」--- 鄭先喻

在這次「收集者版本1.0.0」中，藝術家鄭先喻將展出五件全新創作，這些作品都將再次利用他所收集來的物件，重新建構、轉化自己對於生活中不平的世間事物。「收集者」這個計畫。它不只收集了被人們視為無用的材料，也收集著這世間中假的生命道德、虛假的和平以及人性的逞強。




“I often struggle between reusing wasted products and buying new things. So I often make one myself instead of buying. Over a long period of time, I developed this habit, and some skills, through modifying and recycling E-waste and secondhand materials.” ---Hsien-Yu CHENG

This process is also connected with his creative work. He tries to symbolize, or bring into his works, thoughts and things happening in our lives, our society and even nature that he doesn't like. Those things he dislikes or does not wish to see may seem unimportant to many people, but he continues to collect the phenomena occurring around us. So he starts this project, “Collector”. It collects not only abandoned objects and E-waste, but also sanctimonious justice, values and humanity.

Hsien-Yu CHENG presents 5 works in \[collector 1.0.0] at tamtamART TAIPEI. IPIX this time. Three of them relate to his thoughts on the relationship between humans and life. Of the other two, one expresses his respect for the inventor of the computer mouse. The other one is a kind of experimental prototype about how to generate energy from bio-materials and eco-tech.
