展覽介紹
這次展覽的主軸是由現代人對於使用網路科技的適應力作為出發點。尤其針對我們日常生活中頻繁使用的網路社交平台，像是Instagram、Facebook、Google等。當我們發現在Instagram我們愈看某種類型的發文，我們就會得到更多同性質的發文推薦。當我們在瀏覽網站或商店，如果沒有主動禁止，它可能同時正在分享你的瀏覽紀錄與資料給Facebook，以便發送相關連的廣告給你。當網路科技進入我們的日常，我們是否有足夠的知識了解其運作方式？又或能夠做出什麼樣的反應？

Adaptation在生物學中泛指生物經過天擇演化後，其生理或行為等層面得到更適合在特定環境生存的特徵。於此，藝術家刻意將作品與生物學的研究方式做直接的連結，挪用生物形態學（Morphology）中對於生物體的組織樣貌與功能結構上的觀察，藉由探討特徵與功能的方式作為 一種進行分析的切入點。試著將我們當下面對網路科技的一些處境進行觀察，透過強調某些軟體功能其對於使用者的計算，抑或使用者對軟體衍生出相對應的變化軌跡，作為整個展覽發想的起點。

Introduction
This exhibition uses modern humans’ adaptability toward Internet technology as its starting point. In particular, the online social media platforms that we frequently use in our daily lives, such as Instagram, Facebook, Google, etc. We find that on Instagram, the more we look at certain types of posts, the more recommendations we will receive for posts of the same nature. If we did not actively restrict access when we are browsing through websites or online stores, these sites may also be sharing your browsing history and information to Facebook in order to send you targeted advertisements. As Internet technology enters our daily life, do we have enough awareness and understanding of how these mechanisms function? Furthermore, what kind of response can we take?
Adaptation in biology generally refers to the biological or behavioral aspects of organisms that evolved to be more suitable for survival in specific environments. The artist deliberately makes a direct connection between artwork and research methods used in biology. The artist explores the characteristics and functions as an entry point for analysis by appropriating observation of tissue appearance, function, and structure in morphology studies. By amplifying the calculation of specific software algorithms for the user, or the user's navigation of the corresponding software, the artist attempts to observe situations we face on the Internet, which then becomes the starting point for the whole exhibition.
