“别的太阳,恐怕也有他们的伴随
月亮,你可以看出他们传递着,
阳光与阴光,这伟大的两性,
赋予世界以活气,储藏在各个
星球里,那里恐怕也有生物。
因为自然这么广大的空间,
不为有生灵者所受用,荒芜
和寂寞,只有照明,各星球
也只放出一闪一闪的光,远远地
传到这个可以住人的地球,
地球又返照回去,这可以辩论。“                                                                                                                                                  ——约翰·弥尔顿《失乐园》


“What if the Sun Be Centre to the World,
and other Starrs By his attractive vertue and their own Incited,
dance about him various rounds?
Thir wandring course now high,
now low, then hid, Progressive, retrograde, or standing still,
In six thou seest,
and what if sev'nth to these
The Planet Earth,
so stedfast though she seem,
Insensibly three different Motions move?
Which else to several Spheres thou must ascribe,
Mov'd contrarie with thwart obliquities,
Or save the Sun his labour,
and that swift Nocturnal and Diurnal rhomb suppos'd,
Invisible else above all Starrs,
the Wheele Of Day and Night;
which needs not thy beleefe,
If Earth industrious of her self fetch Day.”                                                                                                ——John Milton  <Paradise Lost>

下方为以上视频中三个主要场景的视觉效果图
Here are three visual renderings below.




作品说明:

 笛卡尔的《第一哲学沉思集》中提出过一个问题:精神世界是否是一种幻觉。《铀基生命》的探索和虚构历程正式我对这一问题的思考历程。在前期「庄周梦蝶」的练习里的“化我于物”,激发我用“物”的视角来理解“我”这一概念,我开始思考和虚构一种新的生物,它的思维的化学过程和人类相近,拥有和人类相似的电化学反应堆。他们叫做《铀基生命》。


人的精神里面究竟是不是真实的,是不是幻觉呢?我们的精神改变世界的过程证实了我们的精神世界是存在的。人类凿空山石,在自然材料上留下人类思维活动的痕迹。铀基生命的思维过程产生的铀泡汩汩沸腾冲出地表,沉积下来颜色各异的盐类形成地表上精巧的图案。

 “铀 uranium”这一概念来自于天王星,他们是存在于行星上的金属化合生物,他们的身体是液态金属的质感,他们具有人类称之为“思维”的生物基础,他们有信仰,他们追寻着乌拉诺斯,如同人类追寻着一众神明。

他们的记忆和思维的构成:原子充当神经元,中子充当神经传递素,缓冲介质和中子毒物则充当抑制因子并使中子的飞行线路发生偏转,从而在虚无中形成神经通道。原子的拓扑结构、成分构成和排列组合,裂变爆炸产生的耀眼闪光以及原子核的衰变,都是思维的一部分。

我主要运用了C4D建模的方法构建了“行星表面、穿过表层深入铀层内部、更深层的元素活动”三个场景,运用了纵深镜头,带领观者探索铀基生命思维活动的化学过程。

我希望观者们看到他们的思维过程,思考的同时能突然发现,噢原来我和他们是一样的,我们以精神世界在塑造这个真实的世界,如同他们的汩汩思维也正塑造着这颗星球。

ITRODUCTION:

The "object perspective" I choose does not come from a real being, but from a creature that is different from earth creature but has a similar mind. They're called uranium-based creature. I've read 《Meditations on First Philosophy》wrote by Descartes and I want to through uranium based creature express a question which is told in this book. The question that is : whether the spiritual world is an illusion?

Is the person's spirit illusion? Our spirit changes the world, which proves that our spirit exists. Human build grottoes, Creating trail of thoughts on natural materials. When uranium-based creature are thinking, the uranium bubble will go raise, take the salt out of the surface of the planet. Salt deposits and form elaborate patterns.

They are a kind of liquid metal. Metal compound on a planet. Because the name of uranium comes from Uranus. If want to keep perfecting this setting should keep looking for references。So I put them on Uranus. They are on the surface of the planet. You can see the green in my video, the GREEN are they. They have a biological basis that humans call "mind." They have faith, and they adore Uranus in the same way as humans Worship of the gods.

Their memories and minds are made up of atoms acting as neurons, neutrons acting as neurotransmitters, buffers and neutron poisons acting as inhibitors and deflecting neutrons in flight, thus forming neural pathways in the void. The topological structure, composition and 


arrangement of atoms, the dazzling flash of fission explosions and the decay of nuclei are all part of the mind.

I mainly used the METHOD of C4D modeling to construct three scenes of "planetary surface, through the surface layer and into the inner uranium layer, and deeper element activities", and used the depth lens to lead the audience to explore the chemical process of thinking activities of uranium-based life.

I hope that when viewers see their thought process, they will suddenly realize that, oh, I am the same as them, we are shaping the real world with the spirit world, just as their gurgle thoughts are also shaping the planet.

铀基生命
The Uranium-based Creature

---------------------------------------------------


在刘宇昆的科幻小说《奇点移民》中看到了许多片段,他构建了许多生物并详细描述了他们的感官基础和感知力。铀基生命借鉴了刘宇昆书中具有科学性的设定。思维导图是对铀基生命思维过程的整理。
画面的呈现方面,我构思了三个场景,在老师的建议下决定运用纵深镜头,不断深入推进,如同从他们的“皮肤”,进入他们的“器官”,再进入他们的“细胞”。


Seen in many fragments in Ken Liu's science fiction <Staying Behind>, he constructed many creatures and detailed their sensory bases and perceptions. The Uranium-based Creature borrows its scientific premise from Ken Liu's book. Mind mapping is a collation of the thought processes of The Uranium-based Creature .
In terms of the presentation of the picture, I conceived three scenes. At the suggestion of the teacher, I decided to use the depth lens to make continuous progress, just like from their "skin", into their "organs" and then into their "cells".

铀基生命
The Uranium-based Creature 

---------------------------------------------------


自然界的铀夹杂在各种矿物里,在古罗马的一些玻璃制品里,已经发现了有一种黄绿色玻璃含有氧化铀。铀在人们的视野中最常见的是化合状态并呈现出这样的黄绿色,这使我将他们想象为具有液态金属质感的黄绿色。以上第二张是在调整色彩过程中的截图。

我运用粒子效果制作了他们思考时带出的盐类塑造地表的样子,并在纵深的三个场景中制作了不断冒出的气泡,以体现“化学反应”正在进行。
主视觉部分我将他们简化为一颗星球的样子,思考冒出的红色气泡弹出主体,营造出碰撞的动态感。从主体冒出的眼睛传达出他们具有感知力和思想。

Natural uranium is mixed with various minerals, and in some ancient Roman glass, a yellow-green glass has been found to contain uranium oxide. Uranium is most commonly seen in its combined state and appears this yellow-green, which leads me to think of it as a yellow-green with a liquid metal texture. The second picture above is a screenshot of the color adjustment process.
I used C4D’s X-particle to make the salts they brought out as they thought to shape the surface, and made bubbles that bubbled up in three deep scenes to show that the "chemical reaction" was going on.
In the main visual part, I simplified them to the appearance of a planet, and thought about the red bubbles popping out of the main body, creating a dynamic sense of collision. The eyes that come out of the subject convey that they have perception and thought.
