PANOPTICON反思我们观察当代空间的方式。SpY以一场大尺度介入，在马德里最具辨识度的城市场景之一置入鲜明的几何形体，提出人体、建筑与城市景观之间的一种新关系。

PANOPTICON reflects on the way we observe contemporary space. Through a large-scale intervention, SpY introduces a radical geometry into one of Madrid’s most recognizable settings, proposing a new relationship between the human body, architecture, and the urban landscape.

在西贝莱斯宫前，一座每边长二十米的黑色三角形出人意料地介入场地。它简洁的几何形态与强烈的存在感，与周边独特的建筑形成对比，打破广场原有的视线关系，也暂时改变了这片深深融入城市集体记忆的景观。

In front of the Palacio de Cibeles, a black triangle measuring twenty meters on each side emerges as an unexpected interruption. Its elementary geometry and imposing presence contrast with the distinctive architecture of its surroundings, disrupting the square’s familiar sightlines and temporarily transforming a landscape deeply embedded in the city’s collective imagination.

装置的尺度与人体建立了直接联系。它的几何形态超越了纯粹的形式，成为一种切实的空间存在，改变人们熟悉的比例参照，并影响行走、辨识方向与观看的方式。

The scale of the installation establishes a direct relationship with the human body. Its geometry transcends its purely formal condition to become a physical presence that alters familiar references of proportion and influences movement, orientation, and the way we look.

当观众走近并沿着装置周边移动时，会发现一些隐蔽的孔洞，激起好奇心，吸引人们向内观看。这些观察孔内设有屏幕，与安装在结构顶部的闭路电视监控摄像头相连。三角形原本遮挡了广场的视野，如今却通过装置呈现出城市景观的片段：建筑、行人和车流以意想不到的视角重新出现在眼前。

As visitors approach and move around its perimeter, the artwork reveals discreet openings that arouse curiosity and invite them to look through. These function as viewing apertures equipped with screens connected to CCTV surveillance cameras positioned at the top of the structure. Where the triangle had previously obstructed the view of the square, the artwork now returns fragmented images of the urban landscape: architecture, pedestrians, and traffic reappear from unexpected perspectives.

这一装置引出了对当代监控机制的思考。“全景敞视”的概念探讨了这样一种情形：即使看不到观察者，仅仅是可能被注视，也会促使个体将监视内化，进而自我约束行为。

This device introduces a reflection on the mechanisms of contemporary surveillance. The concept of the panopticon explores how the possibility of being watched can lead individuals to internalize surveillance and regulate their own behavior, even in the absence of a visible observer.

在一个人与世界的联系越来越依赖摄像头、屏幕和数字设备的社会里，这种思考获得了新的维度。我们不断观察、记录并分享周围的环境，自愿参与各种系统，同时也将自己暴露于他人的目光之下。技术扩展了我们的观察能力，也改变了我们与隐私和控制之间的关系。

In a society where our relationship with the world is increasingly mediated by cameras, screens, and digital devices, this reflection takes on a new dimension. We constantly observe, record, and share our surroundings, voluntarily participating in systems that also expose us to the gaze of others. Technology has expanded our capacity to observe, but it has also transformed our relationship with privacy and control.

PANOPTICON将观众置于这一悖论的中心：当他们借助观察孔探索周围景观时，也在主动参与一套自己可能同样身处其中的监控系统。作品由此邀请我们反思：我们究竟在多大程度上已将这些机制视为常态，并将其融入日常生活。

PANOPTICON places the viewer at the center of this paradox: by using the viewing apertures to discover the landscape, they actively participate in a surveillance system to which they may also be subjected. The artwork thus invites us to question the extent to which we have normalized these mechanisms and incorporated them into our everyday lives.
