The rise of self-media not only provides people with unprecedented sources of information and knowledge but also significantly lowers the threshold for creating and disseminating content, completely disrupting the traditional direction and means of information flow. However, while technium has greatly increased the speed and quantity of information circulation, information is also precisely delivered by recommendation systems. This customized approach to information dissemination tends to push content that evokes strong emotions or aligns with existing viewpoints. While the approach superficially appears to increase the opportunity for people to receive diverse information, does it also cause people with different viewpoints finding it increasingly difficult to receive and understand each other's viewpoints, and therefore creates filter bubbles? Furthermore, do content creators, in pursuit of reach, also find themselves constrained by the technium, thus influencing the content and narrative styles they produce? To some extent, does technium "autonomously" solidify or even exacerbate human positions, intensifying biases and societal divisions? Is this an exploitation of humans by the technium that does not help humans explore the world?
This project aims to explore the diverse attitudes of humans towards the "technium" and whether humans, in their interaction with the "technium", continually make feedback and gain, thereby affecting human thought and social structures in both exploratory and exploitative dilemmas.

自媒體的興起不僅為人們提供了前所未有的訊息與知識的來源，創建和傳播內容的門檻也大幅降低，徹底顛覆了傳統的資訊流動方向與方式。然而，科技體在大幅提升資訊流通速度和量的同時，資訊也被推薦系統精準地以「順向餵養」的方式投放。這種客製化的資訊傳播方式，傾向推送引發強烈情感或符合既有觀點的內容，在表面上增加了人們接收多元資訊的機會的同時，是否也導致不同立場的人，越來越難以接收和理解對方的觀點，形成過濾氣泡（filter bubble）？而資訊的創建者們為了觸及率，是否也受到這種機制所制約，進而影響了製作的內容與敘事方式？資訊體是否在某種程度上「自主地」固化甚至激化了人類的立場，加劇偏見和社會分裂？這是否同時是一種探索（exploration）人類行為的成果，也是對人類的一種剝削（exploitation）？
本作品旨在探討人類對「科技體」的多樣態度，以及人類在與「科技體」的互動中，持續地產生回授（feedback）、增益（gain），進而在探索與剝削兩種處境之間，影響人類思維與社會結構的狀態。
