電影《蛇形刁手》(1978)中，主角透過擬仿進行武術的修練，此次作品同樣將擬仿作為方法，以深偽技術(Deepfake)的運算過程指向「模仿功夫電影明星」的童年記憶，修練與運算、武術與技術、成龍與自我於過程中逐漸疊合，當技術不再討論技術自身，而是作為「鄉愁」的工具，錄像重新展開自己從純粹觀眾到共同編輯者與功夫電影之間的關係轉變，以及身體於虛擬介面中逐漸數位化的過程。

In the movie Snake in Eagle’s Shadow (1978), the lead actor undergoes training in the martial arts through imitation. Through deepfakes, the present work zeroes in on childhood memories of pretending to be kung fu movie stars. In the process, practice and calculation, martial arts and technology, Jackie Chan and the self, all gradually converge. When ‘technology’ no longer refers to technology itself, it becomes a tool of nostalgia. This video presents the transformation in my relation with kung fu movies from pure spectator to collaborative editor, as well as the gradual process of digitization between physical and artificial interfaces.
