HIVEMIND 迷失城中村

Project Description

Xin Fu, Jean Qin Gu, Fan Guo

 

A little over three decades ago, Shenzhen existed only as a conglomeration of villages. The city has since become one of the largest and fastest-growing cities in China, and its incredible growth is in large part due to a population of low-wage workers who predominantly reside in these original villages. What happens within these microcosms? Can we understand the specific villages by looking at what they are talking about? Using social media, we seek to tap into the village-dwellers’ Hiveminds to ultimately understand their relationship to the dynamics of the city.

三十年以前，深圳幾乎只是一個小漁村。而如今這個城市已經成為中國規模最大，發展最快的城市之一。它令人難以置信的增長速度在很大程度上是由於大量的外來人口在這裡的聚集，而城中村就形成於這個過程中。在這種城市縮影中會發生什麼？我們能否瞭解居住在這裡的人的真實生活？利用社交媒體，我們希望探知這些居民長久以來迷失在城市中的感受，瞭解他們與城市的關係。
