24/7 from Tingwei Li on Vimeo.password 247
人类变成了全球城市社会中无害的顺从的居民。即使没有任何直接的强迫，我们也会根据指示行事。
Human beings have become the harmless obedient inhabitants of the world.Even if there is no direct order, we will act according to the instructions.
24/7式（即一天24小时，一星期7天的缩写，全天候提供服务的意思）的市场与支撑持续工作和消费的全球建制已然运转多时，一种新的人类生存模式与24/7体制更紧密地配合起来。如果你疑惑为何生存在一个循环播放模式中，那么24/7应该可以是其中根源。黑夜的照亮，暴露了一切，使人失去睡眠。24/7消灭了阴影、朦胧，与自然时间感，与普遍的“去世界”状态一致。24/7极度的简化歌颂的是当下的幻象。我想把这个视频作为一条警告，一个逃离信息，如果我们仅仅只是消费社会的一员的话，将被一个循环往复的过程所驱使。事物如日夜更迭那样重复出现，又不断消失。
The 24/7 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week, meaning service around the clock) and the global system of supporting continuous work and consumption have been running for a long time. If you wonder why you live in a looping mode, at the root of the issue should be the 24/7. It symbolized static redundancy. it is illuminated, wordless and exposed to all. The extreme simplification of 24/7 sings about the illusion of the moment. This video is a warning, but being aware of our days makes it much more —If we are only slaves of the modern consumer society, it will be driven by a cyclical process. Things reappear as days and nights, and then disappear.
Like W. H. Auden once said “Or else we make a scarecrow of the day,Loose ends and jumble of our common world,And stuff and nonsense of our own free will;”
