真實速度的高鐵經驗　臺灣高鐵全長 350 公里，最快 105 分鐘，時速 300 公里，每秒移動 83 公尺；這些南下北上的移動，帶來何種視覺速度與心理經驗？「高速關係」對應高鐵班次之移動，利用兩小時乘車時間的旅程參照，作為時空框架的錨點，來回重現高鐵移動的經驗，是空間距離的壓縮，也是時間感受的延伸。

空中地面的對照觀點　車廂對外窗景紀錄了主觀視角，Google Earth 的環境空照則呈現客觀觀點，同時討論由近到遠的空間距離與視覺速度：低角度近距離時稍縱即逝的光影，與無限遠處凝滯緩動的地景，帶來不同的速度觀感，卻是在相同時空下共時運行。

真實位置的時空連結　作品影像的播放時刻與實際班次對時配合：離站時間便是啟動時間，抵達終點則接往下班車次。九小時的作品之中，每個時間點都是不重複的畫面，配合一班正在高速運行的軌道車輛，行經於臺灣某處的真實時空。

Real-time High Speed Rail Experiences　Taiwan High Speed Rail spans 350 kilometers in as few as 105 minutes at 300 km/h, covering 83 meters in a second. What physical and mental experiences do these distances and numbers evoke? “High Speed Relations” corresponds to actual schedules of the rail service and each segment of the work is equivalent to a two-hour journey. Using real commutes as a reference framework for time and space, the project showcases the experience of speed and movement, one that is the compression of space and the extension of time.

Juxtaposing Perspectives from the Air and on the Ground　The scenery outside the windows documents personal perspectives while the Google Earth images present objective views. The two sets of imagery delve into the correlation between spatial distances and the visual speed: the low-angle, close-range views disappearing in an instant, while the scenery in the distance remains still, bringing varying sensations of speed  while moving in the same actual time and space.     

Synchronization to Actual Time-Space Movements　The screening time coincides with the timetable of Taiwan High Speed Rail: starting when a train leaves a station and stopping as it reaches its terminal, followed by another train in the opposite direction. Each moment of the 9-hour work is unique and non-repeating, aligning with physical trains running in real-time, passing through true locations somewhere across the landscape, presenting experiences in actual times of the day.
