火燒金匠

2022, 表演

王一鵲等合作

我們希望通過本次事件探索虛實的界線。在後擬像時代中,真實與虛擬的界線已經模 糊,在這樣的當下我們實驗使用虛構來解構和認識真實本身。我們創造出這全然虛假 但又真實存在的事件來質疑實存世界的真實性,並拷問我們的價值的根基。我們特別 挑選了 NFT 這一語境下的價值作為一個有趣的範例進行構建。在這個事件中,藝術家 是虛假的,藝術品是仿造的,火焰只是投射的影像。然而,什麼是假的,什麼又是真 的?「真實」的「原件」的價值又來自何處?

身處現場或許讓你感到矛盾,那正是我們的目的。感謝你參與這場實踐,希望這一劇 場式的編造性的藝術行動能帶給你新的思索。

Burn Goldsmiths

2022, Happening and performance

With Yique Wang and others

The event aims to push the boundary between virtual and real. In this post-simulacrum era, the boundary is already a bit dissolved. In this background, we examine the virtual as the method of knowing and deconstructing reality. We create this totally fake but somehow existing event to question the meaning of existence and the foundation of our value. We intentionally picked the values in the context of NFT as an example. In this event, the artist is fake, the artwork is fake, and even the frame is fake. However, what does it indicate to be fake? What does it mean to be real? Where does the value of “original” and “authentic” come from?

It may sound weird, but we are glad if you are confused. Thank you for coming tonight and participating in this action. We hope we have brought some new ideas to you.

數位皆川明

2022-進行中, 生成動畫

皆川明以他對於純手工作畫翻印設計的堅持而聞名

我反而以數位算法,嘗試完全從0和1中生成擁有接近於他的布料設計的質感的圖樣,來探索數位生成技術的可能性,以及提出以下的問題:是否所有的東西都可以通過數位生成的方式複製?如果答案是肯定的,那麼是否有可能我們所處的“現實”世界也是某一種的”數位生成“?

Digitalizing Akira Minagawa

2022 – ongoing, Digital animation

Akira Minagawa is famous for his insistence on using a hand-drawing process for his textile design.

I created algorithms to try to recreate similar textile textures from purely 0s and 1s, questioning the possibility of digital media and asking the following questions: Can we recreate everything digitally? If so, does it also means that the “real” world we are in can also be another kind of “digital”?

Unsounded

2022, 開源公共裝置

每天早上醒來,我離開公寓樓,沿著花園街走,在洗衣街花園前轉入豉油街,然後左轉到洗衣街,再到山東街,再到染布房街。最終在旺角火車東站坐火車去學校。到了晚上,我沿著同樣的路走回家。

無數次走在同樣的街道上,讓我對周圍的環境感到麻木。自古以來,一切似乎都是如此。有一天,我走在路上,突然聽到了一艘船的汽笛聲。一刹那,我有一陣迷茫,不知道自己是在旺角還是大角咀。突如其來的混亂就像是一次刺痛。我又開始關注街上的商店和人。我發現了一些我從未註意到的商店和一些我從未見過的新鄰居。

Unsounded 是一個可以製造頓悟的項目。通過許多小型裝置作為結點,它創建了一個網絡,讓聲音從一個地方傳播到當地的另一個地方。該項目也是開源的,人們可以參與到製造和分發設備的過程中。 加入該項目,並在你的城市中創建聲音傳送門。或許你就此幫助某人重新發現這個社區。

Unsounded

2022, Open source installation network

Every morning I wake up, I leave the apartment building, walk along Fa Yuen Street, turn into Soy Street before Sai Yi Street Garden, then turn left to Sai Yi Street, then Shantung St, then Yim Po Fong St. Finally, I arrive at Mongkok East Train Station and take the train to school. And at night I follow the same path but in reverse to get home.

Walking through the streets countless times makes me numb to the surroundings. Everything seems to be so since time immemorial. One day on my way I heard a ship whistle. Suddenly I felt lost for a while, and I could not recognize if I was in Mongkok or Tai Kok Tsui. The sudden confusion was like a spike. I started to pay attention to the shops and people on the streets again. And I found some shops I never noticed and some new neighbors I never met.

Unsounded is a project that makes the spikes. With many small installations that work as knots, it creates a network for sound to travel from one location to another in the local area. The project is also open-source, making it possible for people to participate in making and distributing the devices in their neighborhoods.

Join the project, and create sound portals in your town. Maybe you just help someone to rediscover the community that they have been living in.

Tele-Imagination

2022, 裝置, 與Thore Flynn Hadre合作

隨著Covid19在香港的第五次爆發,人們在品嚐了半年的自由之後,再次想起了封鎖的感覺。隔離很快再次成為社交媒體上的熱詞。

人類並不是唯一受到影響的人。兩個機器人:來自美國的Kamala,新來港攻讀學位,以及本地剛畢業的Philip,也被隔離。

當他們被隔離時,他們會怎麼想和怎麼做?它和我們人類有什麼不同?

Tele-Imagination

2022, Installation, with Thore Flynn Hadre

With the 5th outbreak of Covid19 in Hong Kong, people are reminded how the lockdown feels like again after having a taste of half a year of freedom. Quarantine soon became a hit word on social media again.

Human beings are not the only ones that are affected. Two robots, Kamala from the states, newly arrived at Hong Kong for its degree, and Philip, a newly local graduate, are also in quarantine.

What will they think and talk about when they are isolated physically? How is it different from us humans?

自動資本主義

2022, 軟體, 基於Max8

實時股票數據和金融中心城市的空氣質量指數的聲化。

全球市場是資本主義的巔峰產物之一。從紐約到東京,然後是上海、香港和倫敦。交易永遠不會停止。許多人將這種永無止境的資金流動,或者更準確地說,數字流動,視為本世紀全球化最成功的象徵。

AQI(空氣質量指數)數據似乎與股票數據完全無關。但是歷史上它們之間存在著微妙的關係。很多人已經很好地闡述了發達地區應該如何對他們在歷史上造成的污染負責,以及整個全球資本體系是如何通過燃燒大量不必要的能源來推動的。
