‘Deus Ex Machina’s design unfolds as a sci-fi allegory of the blurred line between reality and the virtual. Consistent with Collage’s signature “multilingual patchwork” ethos, it utilizes cyberpunk neons, montage imagery, and red-blue metaphors to reassemble the histories of gender, ethnicity, and marginalized figures, exploring the restlessness of contemporary society. The visual core centers on the Deus Ex Machina—the “cables” used to lower gods onto the ancient Greek stage. These ropes are transformed into abstract, warped linear symbols, satirizing fate’s abrupt solutions. Inside, physical stitching embodies these cables, literally sewing the text together to echo the theme of Deus Ex Machina.
〔珂拉琪〕第二張專輯《Deus Ex Machina》設計是一部關於虛實之間的科幻寓言。承襲〔珂拉琪〕多元拼貼的特質,以賽博龐克螢光、蒙太奇圖像及紅藍色隱喻,將性別、種族與非主流群體重組,探討當代社會的躁動與渴望。
視覺核心來自〔機械降神〕—— 即古希臘戲劇用來吊神祇出場的「纜繩」。繩索意象轉化成各種重複、變形的抽象線性符號,象徵命運突兀的解答與扭轉悲劇的反諷。內冊則以車線具象化這條纜繩、縫合文本,回應專輯「降神」主題。
