The Absence of Green 綠蝕
Medium: AI-generated images, LED Installation, Four-channel Video with Color and Sound: 12 Mins
Location: Upper Floor
It is the year 2066. Traditional trams have been replaced by sentient AI tram systems, and the color green no longer exists. An AI tram prototype named Tram0 discovers his grandmother’s diaries containing notes about this color. Intrigued by these fragmented memories, the curious Tram0 embarks on a journey to recover green.
This fictional story is narrated in the short film The Vitiligo - The Myth of the Absent Green. Told from the perspective of Tram0, the work explores the relationship between hard data and intangible memory, and the utility of nostalgia in our modern society. In exploring the history of the specific green hue found on Hong Kong’s old trams—the result of surplus paint leftover from the war—the film responds to the layers of identity and heritage embedded in our collective memory through scenes of the city and AI-generated footage.

作品簡介
故事背景設定於 2066 年，傳統電車已被具備自我意識的 AI 電車系統取代，而「綠色」已不復存在。一輛名為 Tram0 的原型 AI 電車發現了祖母的日記，裡面記錄了關於這個顏色的點滴。受到這些碎片化記憶的啟發，好奇的 Tram0 踏上了尋找並恢復綠色的旅程。
這段虛構故事透過短片《白斑症——關於消失之綠的神話》（The Vitiligo - The Myth of the Absent Green）展開。作品以 Tram0 的視角敘述，探討了硬性數據與無形記憶之間的關係，以及懷舊在現代社會中的功能。香港老式電車所使用的特殊綠色，源於戰後剩餘油漆的歷史背景；本片藉由城市街景與 AI 生成影像，對這段歷史進行深度挖掘，回應了鑲嵌於集體記憶中那層層堆疊的身份認同與文化遺產。
