A series of “Eve Clone” portraits is created through 3D animation. The figures are bald, with surfaces marked by chrysalis-like folds and two short horns on either side of the head. Their skin displays artificial, non-human colors—metallic and reflective blue, green, and red tones—combined with serpentine textures. On their foreheads, the number “666,” the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:16–18), is engraved in different languages, endowing them with hybrid characteristics that are both human and bestial, and symbolizing evil.

To further express the coexistence and crisis between her and humankind—that technology is created by humans yet simultaneously becomes a seductive force that controls them—the artist deliberately employs a “dynamic hologram” medium that is “unplugged” yet interactive. Under spotlights, Eve Clone fixes her alluring gaze and posture upon the viewer: when the viewer moves, she moves, as if animated by the viewer’s presence, even seducing their gaze in return. However, when the viewer remains still, she also becomes motionless. Through this, the work raises the notion of an artificial, technological pseudo-life that, while highly seductive, may ultimately become the very entity that dominates humanity. It invites reflection on the fate of humankind: in challenging God’s original order through technology, humans may in the end face a technological backlash.

I named it Eve Clone as God created Eve, and humans want to play God and created a cloned Eve. I integrate the elements of the human chrysalis and human beast to shape the double identities of Eve Clone, who was both charming and evil. I quoted the Whore of Babylon recorded in the Bible “With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication” (Revelation 17:2) as well as placing the Number of the Beast, 666 in different languages, on Eve Clone’s forehead and right hand as a symbol of evil (“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads” (Revelation 13:16)) to show that technological culture is like the Whore of Babylon and the Number of the Beast, which seduce and control humans.

The Portrait of Eve Clone exhibited at MOCA Taipei in 2011 used 3D animated holograms as the medium to present her charming gaze and posture. She only lived under the spotlight (without light, Eve Clone was invisible). What was rarer was that when the viewer saw her from different angles, her gaze followed and stared at the viewer, whereas when the viewer stood still to look at her, she stopped moving. Like Eve Clone, the technological culture is attractive, yet it seduces and controls humans, like the Whore of Babylon.
