Silicon Temple proposes a pantheon born not from mythic time, but from the material afterlives of technology. Its architecture is assembled from microchips, heatsinks, and cooling channels; waste heat rises like incense; and the circuitry that underpins computation becomes a new form of sacred infrastructure.



At the core of the temple stands a constellation of posthuman deities, each forged from AI-generated debris: misrecognized faces, fragmented bodies, glitches, insects, fish, crystals, and impossible textures. Following the spatial logic of Taiwanese temples, Silicon Temple hosts a multiplicity of gods — yet each deity embodies a contemporary condition rarely visible within AI’s glossy, idealized surfaces. 



These figures are assemblages of error. They reveal the environmental and emotional costs of computation: energy extraction, water dependence, e-waste, algorithmic violence, reproductive anxieties, and fractured masculinities. What is discarded, filtered out, or misread by machines becomes sacred again.

Silicon Temple is therefore not a return to religion, but a ritual for the future. It imagines how myth might function in a world where machines hallucinate bodies, rewrite ecologies, and reshape cosmologies. Through performance, costume, moving image, and digital sculpture, the work asks: If AI produces new forms of humans, what new gods will follow?



《矽靈宮》提出了一個非誕生於神話史詩、而是孕育自科技物質來世（Material Afterlives）的新神譜。其建築結構由微晶片、散熱片與冷卻管道拼裝而成；廢熱如香煙般繚繞升騰，支撐著運算的電路板則轉化為全新形態的神聖基礎設施。

在這座宮廟的核心，矗立著一組由 AI 生成殘骸所鍛造的後人類神明星系：其中交織著被機器誤認的面孔、碎裂的軀體、系統故障（Glitch）、昆蟲、魚類、結晶體以及不可思議的異質紋理。承襲台灣傳統廟宇的多神空間邏輯，《矽靈宮》容納了眾神的複數性——然而，每一尊神明所體現的，皆是隱匿在 AI 那光滑、理想化表面之下，極少被凝視的當代生存處境。

這些神祇是「錯誤的拼裝體（Assemblages of Error）」。祂們揭示了數位運算背後所耗費的環境與情感代價：能源榨取、對水的過度依賴、電子廢棄物、演算法暴力、生殖焦慮以及碎裂的陽剛特質。那些被機器丟棄、篩選掉或誤讀的廢料，在此重新被賦予了神聖性。

因此，《矽靈宮》並非向傳統宗教的復歸，而是一場面向未來的儀式。它想像在一個由機器幻覺構築肉身、改寫生態並重塑宇宙論的世界中，神話將如何運作。透過表演、服裝、動態影像與數位雕塑，本計畫提出核心叩問：如果 AI 正催生出全新形態的人類，那麼隨之而來的，將會是怎樣的新神？
