這裡並沒有叫做自由的東西，只有侷限的選擇。
掌控我們選擇的權力，從嬰兒時期的家庭控制開始，一直到同才壓力或由政府以及大眾傳播的影響，選擇性的掌控過程最終跟隨著人類一輩子。
最後兩項的影響力裁定我們的選擇，政府以及公司團體已經相輔相成為不易察覺的統成個體。他們合力將宣傳以及廣告變成精湛有利的工具，來操縱人類的恐懼和慾望。
「都市荒漠」結合兩位台灣藝術家與三位外籍藝術家的最新創作，來揭發藏於人類行為背後的慾望以及動機。藝術家們利用不同的媒材來調查影響人類決定權的原因與根源。作品主題強調在於：順從、信念、恐懼、慾望以及消費主意的爭論點上。
人類從幼兒時期便開始被教導著對於獎賞與懲處的條件反射能力。佛洛伊德告訴我們這將會發展成為兩項主要影響我們決定的力量：對於痛的避免和對於樂趣的追尋。
大眾傳播播放著這些根深蒂固的念頭，來運用於影響和控制著整體民眾。利用傳播的媒界鼓吹著人民添購所要而非所需的物品，完整藉由此項行為來馴服民眾。
There is no such thing as freedom. There is only limited choice.
The process that we go through so that our choices are controlled is a life long process that begins in infancy with family and is continued throughout the rest of our lives by our peers and mainly by the state and mass media. These last two forces in determining our decisions; government and business have become virtually indistinguishable from each other. Together they have turned propaganda and advertising into subtle and powerful tools for manipulating people’s fears and desires.
“Urban bodies” is a collection of artworks by two Taiwanese and three foreign artists that explores some of the drives and motives behind human behavior. The artists use different mediums and approaches to investigate the reasons and root causes behind human decisions. The work focuses mainly on issues such as conformity, belief, fear, desire and consumerism. Each artist brings a unique style and flavor to the exhibition using vastly different techniques to address these issues, ranging from video art and installation to sculpture and graphic novels.
From an early age humans are taught a conditioned response to the concept of reward and punishment. Sigmund Freud tells us that this will develop into the two major forces for influencing our decisions;
The avoidance of pain and the quest for pleasure.
Mass media plays on these deep-seated impulses to exert influence and control the masses. By ignoring the needs but fulfilling the unconscious desires of the masses changes a potentially unruly population into a controlled, docile one.
The work in this exhibition aims to open a debate about free-will in the light of such overpowering determinism, and raises questions about the way in which human worth is judged.
