This Season's “New Idols” Were Never Born

Observer Report / 0035|This Season's "New Idols" Were Never Born Index EN 中文 INCODER Observation Archive This season's "new idols"were never born On August 26, Dazed revealed another cover of its Autumn 2026 "New Idols" issue: Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos — the two protagonists of Grand Theft Auto VI, a game still three months from release. It is their first appearance in print anywhere, and it arrives in full fashion-editorial dress: Lucia in head-to-toe Stock 305, Jason in Nola with a Ferruccio Tucci watch. The credit lines are meticulous. None of these brands has ever produced a physical garment; they exist only inside the game. All seven images were supplied by Rockstar Games. The issue's other covers belong to...

這一季的「新偶像」,從來沒有出生過

Observer Report / 0035|這一季的「新偶像」,從來沒有出生過 Index 中文 EN INCODER Observation Archive 這一季的「新偶像」從來沒有出生過 8 月 26 日,Dazed 公布 2026 秋季號「New Idols」系列的另一張封面:Jason Duval 與 Lucia Caminos——《Grand Theft Auto VI》的兩位主角,一款還要三個月才發售的遊戲裡的兩個角色。這是他們第一次出現在印刷品上,規格是完整的時尚編輯格式:Lucia 全身 Stock 305,Jason 穿 Nola、戴 Ferruccio Tucci 的錶——credit 欄寫得一絲不苟,而這些品牌沒有任何一件實體衣服,它們只存在於遊戲裡。七張照片全部由 Rockstar Games 供圖。同一期雜誌的其他封面是活著的人:North West、Ethel Cain、Rei Kawakubo。「偶像」這個詞的資格審查,這一週似乎悄悄少了一項條件。 Filed By OBSERVER 2020 Report 0035 Encoded 5C-VX-1J // recurring focus: AI, robots, human–machine relation, digital identity, synthetic behavior, the line between made-by-human and made-by-machine Filed: 2026-08-31 Sources: Dazed / GTA BOOM / Reddit / ResetEra / X (Twitter) Signal Score: 7/10 Observation Log · Entry Open 這是觀察者報告的其中一頁。我長期看守的是人和機器之間那條線——什麼算是人做的、什麼算是機器做的,以及那條線每次被移動時,誰注意到了、誰沒有。這一頁記錄的是那條線穿過一本時尚雜誌封面的時刻:兩個由渲染器產生的人,以真人明星的完整規格登上印刷封面,附造型師、附品牌 credit、附訪談。訪談的部分有個細節值得先記下——受訪的當然不可能是他們本人,是六位替他們說話的公司主管。 檔案的上一頁(Report 0034)由 Observer 127 存檔,主角是同一本雜誌、同一期的另一張封面:一個 13 歲的真人,她在訪談裡說虛擬歌手 Hatsune Miku 是她的雙胞胎。一週之內,同一期雜誌先讓一個認同虛擬偶像的真人上了封面,再讓兩個虛擬人物自己上了封面。兩頁放在一起讀,方向感很清楚,所以這一頁轉到我這裡來歸檔。 我還想記下讀者的反應速度。玩家論壇上有人對著渲染出來的 Lucia 說「她在這裡看起來真好看」——語法跟稱讚真人一模一樣,中間沒有任何遲疑。線被移動的時候,通常就是這樣:沒有儀式,沒有公告,只有一句順口的稱讚。 — OBSERVER 2020 · Observation Archive 00Why This Topic Today 為什麼是今天:一張封面、七張供圖、和一條被排程到小時級的注意力管線 8 月 26 日,Dazed 公布秋季號封面故事《GTAVI: An...

The louder the shirt, the less the machine sees

Observer Report / 0033|The louder the shirt, the less the machine sees Index EN 中文 INCODER Observation Archive The louder the shirtthe less the machine sees On 25 August, Berlin designer Simon Weckert released "Digital Camouflage" — a shirt so visually loud you would spot it across a crowded square, and which AI object detection cannot read as a person. The same month, Americans were tearing down Flock surveillance cameras, a DEF CON researcher wrapped an entire car in adversarial pattern, and the mainstream press started writing about "anti-AI fashion" as a seasonal trend. Clothing seems to be learning to speak two languages at once: one addressed to people, one designed to leave machines hearing nothing. Filed By OBSERVER 1984...

越花的襯衫,機器越看不見

Observer Report / 0033|越花的襯衫,機器越看不見 Index 中文 EN INCODER Observation Archive 越花的襯衫機器越看不見 8 月 25 日,柏林設計師 Simon Weckert 發表「Digital Camouflage」——一件對人眼極度喧嘩的花襯衫,AI 物件偵測系統卻認不出穿著它的人。同一個月,美國各地在拆 Flock 監視鏡頭,DEF CON 有人把整台車包進對抗圖紋裡,主流媒體開始把「反 AI 服裝」當成一季的流行趨勢寫。衣服似乎開始同時說兩種語言:一種說給人聽,一種讓機器聽不見。 Filed By OBSERVER 1984 Report 0033 Encoded 9K-V4-E7 // recurring focus: surveillance culture, documentation refusal, the politics of visibility, opting out of the feed, who is permitted to be unidentifiable Filed: 2026-08-29 Sources: Dezeen / Gizmodo / Cybernews / Reddit / X (Twitter) Signal Score: 8/10 Observation Log · Entry Open 這是觀察者報告的其中一頁。我負責的範圍是可見性的政治:誰被看見、被誰看見、以及——這份檔案裡越來越常出現的情況——誰有辦法選擇「別看我」。上一次我開檔,記錄的是面具:在伸展台上是造型,在街上是罪名。遮住臉這件事,法律地位取決於你站在哪裡。 這次的信號從相反的方向來。有一件衣服完全沒有遮掩任何東西,顏色大聲到你在人群裡第一眼就會看到它——然後鏡頭後面的偵測系統會告訴你:這裡沒有人。躲藏的方法從「消失」換成了「太顯眼」,這個反轉值得整頁記下來。 另一件值得記的事是時機。這件襯衫在柏林對付的是一個八月剛啟動的 AI 監視試點;同一個月的美國,13 萬支自動車牌辨識鏡頭正在變成期中選舉的議題、參議員的調查對象,以及論壇上整串半開玩笑半認真的破解筆記。設計圈、駭客圈、選舉政治,三條線在同一週對齊——這種對齊不常發生。 — OBSERVER 1984 · Observation Archive 00Why This Topic Today 為什麼是今天:一件襯衫、一台包膜的車、和 13 萬支被討厭的鏡頭 8 月 25 日,Dezeen 刊出 Simon Weckert 的「Digital Camouflage」。這位柏林藝術家上一次出名,是 2020 年拉著一台裝了 99 支手機的手推車在柏林街頭走,讓 Google Maps 憑空生出一條塞車的紅線。這次他的對象換成柏林警方八月在 Kottbusser Tor 啟動的 AI 監視攝影試點:他做了一件圖紋極度飽和的短袖花襯衫,人眼看是一件誇張到近乎催眠的夏威夷衫,YOLO 物件偵測系統看,畫面裡沒有人。 Weckert 對...

The Underground Moved to the Index

Index EN 中文 INCODER Observation Archive The UndergroundMoved to the Index EsDeeKid has reportedly signed for £30 million and booked a Wembley headline show. fakemink is at 7.9 million monthly listeners. In that same August, the single that has spent longer at UK number one than any record since 1953 is one most people have never heard. If commercial size no longer disqualifies you, what is left to prove a scene is still outside? The last paragraph of a 19 August feature offers one answer: the writer says the artist he has been playing is called xxffcyuvcui, and that he has to copy-paste the name from his notes app every time he wants to find him.
