Video work installation CAPTCHA-CAPTCHA is created using the verification code (CAPTCHA), a mechanism for distinguishing computers from human beings, to connect with calculations which are omnipresent as a source of assistance in our everyday life. Features such as graphic recognition, suggested spelling, auto-replies, and voice assistants, have started to interfere with human thought in the name of assistance. The video depicts a machine that is capable of human-like writing and expression and uses the words that the machine produces as the basis for interaction, exploring the mind and consciousness of human beings and artificial intelligence.

Throughout the video, the narration and subtitles continuously question and repeatedly verify through reading and writing. How does the voice read the written content, and how does the written content write down what it hears? Which is artificial intelligence, and which is human? Do human beings have the capacity of mind and free will? Are human choices really chosen by human beings? Is the human mind essential for creative thinking? If artificial intelligence reaches judgment and decisions after a series of complex calculations, are human judgment merely a result of calculations resulting from the coding of our genes? The artist uses these questions to contemplate issues such as human existence and contemporary life, the natural and artificial, reality and virtual reality, time, memory, and sensory experiences.

藝術家運用區分用戶是電腦或是人的驗證碼（CAPTCHA）機制作為創作的基點，連結現今已無所不包並協助人類生活的演算系統：圖文辨識、建議拼音、自動回信、語音助理…等，在協助的名義之上開始建議著人類的思考方式，影片中模擬一台可以與人類相同進行書寫與表達的機器，並且與其寫出來的文字內容彼此對話，探討人類和人工智能載具的心智與意識。

錄像中的旁白與字幕不斷地在讀句與書寫來回質問、反覆驗證。讀句的聲音如何閱讀書寫出來的內容；書寫出來的內容如何寫出它聽到的聲音？兩者何為人工智能？何為人類？人類是否存在心靈、自由意志？人類的選擇是否是人類自己的選擇?創造性思考需要透過人類心靈才能達到？人工智能透過一套複雜的演算法而所作出判斷與決策，而人類的決行是否亦由基因編碼而構成算式演算？以此，探究人類生存與當代生命樣貌之間、自然與人工、真實存在與虛擬網路、時間、記憶與感官等經驗的深思映照。

Wu Chi-Yu’s practice shows a fundamental interest in how connections can be re-established among humans, things, animals and the world in a ruined landscape resulting from technocapitalism. His practice revolves around the moving image, looking for contemporary narratives in lost memory through the reproducing of oral history and myths. He is also involved in different collaboration projects of installation, video installation, and performance.

Wu Chi-Yu was a resident artist at Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten (2014-2015). He had the solo show: “91 Square Meters of Time” (TKG+ Project, Taipei 2017). The exhibitions he once participated include: “The 12th Shanghai Biennale” (Power Station of Art, Shanghai, 2018); “Trans-Justice” (MOCA, Taipei, 2018); Taipei Biennial (Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei, 2016). His films have been screened at the Beijing International Short Film Festival (2017); EXiS Festival, Seoul (2017); Arkipel Festival, Jakarta (2016).
