這件作品是由批改當時身為四年級班級導師指派學生的回家作業之一《心情日記》中發想而出。將得到甲上星(甲上星在我的班級經營裡代表的是最棒的作業表現)的日記掃描印出,學生所寫出的內容並非重點呈現,而是我給出的眾多甲上星這個符號,它代表著我的批閱、我的喜好、我的認同、學生達到我的標準,這雖是身為老師的繁重的批改工作,但卻是身為老師依著自己的標準賦予學生的價值。這批越是一把雙刃,擁有如此大的權力,卻也如此迷人、如此的虛幻,讓給予者與被給予都迷戀上甲上星所蘊含的魅力。
The artwork is inspired by the homework “Mood Diary” assigned to fourth-graders when I was their mentor teacher. I scanned the five-star diaries (five-star was given to students with best performance in their assignment), printed them out, and extracted some parts from the assignment. The five stars symbolized how I examined, valued, and judged their works based on my own preference while it also meant how students met my expectation. Grading may be tiring, but it allows teacher to evaluate students on one’s own standard. Like a double-edged sword, the power is both alluring and illusionary when both the empowered and the empowerer are fascinated by it.
