金鱼缸中之脑 - 海报设计

Brain in a fishbowl - poster
这条金鱼（通过金鱼缸的折射）看到的是一个与我们不同的版本的（扭曲）世界，但我们能确定它就不是真实的吗?就我们目前来看，我们可能也在用一生的时间透过扭曲的镜头注视着外面的世界。-霍金

这个项目受启发于霍金《大设计》中的“金鱼缸效应”。他提到如果一条金鱼看到的世界是经过折射的，“不真实的”，那么人类的眼睛看到的世界也有可能是虚假的。同时在书里他向读者提出了三个问题，为了更好地理解本书我做了一些视觉笔记并最后拓展成三张系列海报，并以此来回应他提出的问题。

问题1：定律的起源是什么?
回答1：金鱼所看到的扭曲世界即是它们的本源，是他们所认为正确的世界观。
海报1：“正确的”扭曲世界

问题2：定律中是否有例外，即:奇迹?
回答2：人类世界的规则对于金鱼来说就是例外，当然人类世界的定律也常常存在推翻，比如以前的地心说，地面是平的等等，因此我们人类目前的规则有可能再次被推翻，不仅仅是自己内部意识的刷新，也有可能是受到更高维物种的冲击（就像金鱼对人类），即可以理解为“奇迹”。
海报2：人类世界有没有可能也是一个鱼缸？

问题3：是否只有一套可能的规则?
回答3：对于我来说，更倾向于认为世界不止一套准则，就像刚才提到的不同物种乃至不同维度生物的世界观不一定是相同的，所以这张海报将金鱼的世界观和人类的既定规则杂糅一起。
海报3：多鱼缸(元)世界
The goldfish is seeing a version of reality that is different from ours, but can we be sure it is any less real? For all we know, we, too, may spend our entire lives staring out at the world through a distorting lens.  -Stephen Hawking

This project is inspired by the "goldfish bowl effect" in the book "The Grand Design" written by Stephen Hawking. What he mentioned in his book is if the world seen by a goldfish is refracted and unreal, then the world seen by the human eye may also be unreal. He has raised three questions in his book “The Grand Design”. To more specific, I combined his idea with my understanding to complete a set of visual document and finally came out as posters with three related topics to respond his questions:

Question1: What is the origin of the laws?
Answer1: The distorted world that the goldfish sees is their source, their view of the world.
Topic of poster1: The distorted reality of goldfish

Q2: Are there any exceptions in the laws, i.e., miracles?
A2: The laws of human world to the goldfish is the exception, of course, the laws of the human world are often overturned by themselves, such as geocentrism, the ground is flat and so on. Not only for humans to refresh their internal consciousness, but it could also be impacted by higher-dimensional species(like goldfish to human), which can be understood as a "miracle".
T2: Is it possible that the human world is also a fishbowl？

Q3: Is there only one set of possible laws?
A3: I prefer to agree that there is more than one set of rules for in the world, for example, the world views of different species or that from dimensions might not be the same, so this poster combines two established rules for the world view(goldfish and human).
T3: A world of multiverses.
