Well, it has to be said, art can sometimes be difficult to understand. 我們得承認，藝術有時候很難懂。
But it's often used to help better understand things we don't know much about. 但藝術常被用來幫助我們理解一些我們不太懂的事。
Tom Clarke takes a look at one artist who is proof that the way to a man's art is through his stomach. 湯姆·克拉克要報導一位藝術家，他證明了要搞懂一個人的藝術，必須先抓住他的胃。
Many artists strive to project their innermost selves into their work -- on canvas, in photographs or sculpture. 許多藝術家努力將他們內心最深的真我部份投射在他們的作品中，無論是畫布、照片或雕刻品上。
Artist Phillip Warnell does so quite literally. 藝術家菲利普便對此奉行不渝。
His work, part exhibition, part experiment, exploits the latest technology to boldly go where art has never been before. 他的作品，一部份供展示用、一部份則屬實驗性質，利用最新科技將藝術大膽地帶入前所未見的領域。
I mean I've got a great interest in the everyday and, you know, all of us, all of the time are going through some kind of digestive process. 我對於日常生活中的一切極感興趣，我們一直都在經歷某種消化過程，
It's an ever-present; it's an, you know, inherent part of our existence. 這是一種無所不在，我們生命中與生俱來的東西。
Well, here's the device that's very much at the center of this afternoon's performance. 這是今天下午表演節目中最重要的一樣器材。
It's a capsule endoscope. Now, it's in a sterile housing right now. 這是一個膠囊狀的內視鏡。它現在被放在一個無菌的外罩中。
But in that is a pill about the size of the end of my little finger. 膠囊裡放了一顆和我小指指尖一般大小的藥丸，
Now, that's equipped with a microscopic camera with a tiny flash that takes about two pictures every second of the artist's alimentary canal. 藥丸上裝了一台附有小閃光燈的顯微照相機，每秒鐘可以拍攝兩張這位藝術家消化道的照片。
There's also a radio transmitter that beams those images through the gut wall, through the artist's body to sensors on the outside. 另外還有一具無線傳輸器，可以將影像穿過這位藝術家的內臟，傳入體外的感應器中。
So the journey begins. Muscles squeeze the pill down the esophagus towards the artist's stomach. 這段旅程就此展開，肌肉將藥丸推入食道中，進入到藝術家的胃裡。
Minutes later, the presence moves from the esophagus into the stomach. 幾分鐘後，藥丸從食道進入胃裡。
This is where food is normally broken down. To keep the pictures clear, Warnell has fasted for 24 hours. 平常這裡是分解食物的地方， 為了使相片清晰，沃奈爾禁食了二十四小時。
But the pill doesn't want to leave his stomach, so he decides to eat something -- a few bites of pasta -- to encourage the camera on its way. 但藥丸不想離開他的胃，因此他決定吃一點東西。他吃了幾口義大利麵，好讓相機能向前推進。
An hour and a half passes and the pill hasn't budged. 一個半小時過去了，藥丸毫無動靜。
The artist terminates the performance so his collaborator, a gastroenterologist, can explain to the audience what they're seeing before it's time to go home. 藝術家結束了他的演出，好讓與他合作的胃視鏡師可以趁大家打道回府前，先向觀眾解釋他們看到了些什麼。
It does very much fit with our attempt to enlighten and educate the public about what we do and to try to demystify a lot of this. 這場表演相當符合我們想要教育大眾認識我們這門行業，和想要解開許多這類醫療行為謎團的初衷。
New technology helps arts meet science in new ways, 新科技幫助藝術家透過新的方式認識科學，
but like the public operating theaters of old, Warnell's work continues a tradition of satisfying a common curiosity of who we are inside. 但就像從前的公共劇院一樣，沃奈爾的作品延續了一項傳統，也就是滿足了人類對於體內構造普遍存在的好奇心。
