Ongoing Mystical Experiment

戴圣杰的艺术创作围绕着“⾃我”与“⾃然”这两个可变的世界,探索身份认知与外界环境的关系。伴随⾃童年起成长过程中频繁的迁徙经历,她借作品保存记忆和情绪,试图透过女性视角回答“我从哪里来,曾到哪里去”的问题。
Shengjie Dai’s artistic practice revolves around the two worlds of “self” and “nature”, proactively exploring the relationship between identity cognition and the external environment. Accompanying her frequent migration experiences during childhood, she uses her works to preserve memories and emotions, trying to answer the questions “where I come from and where I have been”.
Untitled Space (Her Gaze Series #1) (她的凝视 #1)
《她的凝视》是戴圣杰的⼀系列绘画装置作品,其灵感来⾃于对梦境的记忆,以此为起点构建有隐喻意味 的空间,利⽤油画和3D打印模型,模糊⼆维与三维的界限。试图透过画幅边缘的“镜”,凝视和窥探个体的情绪状态和精神世界。
“Her Gaze” is a series of mixed media works by Dai Shengjie, inspired by the artist’s memory of dreams. She constructs metaphorical untitled spaces, uses oil paint and 3D printed female figures to blur the boundaries between two and three dimensions, and attempts to gaze and probe the individual’s emotional state and spiritual world through the “lens” at the outer edge of the frame.
华雨桐在过去的阅读与写作经历中,深受中外虚构文学和古诗词中观察、体验、表达以及审美趣味的影响。大三(Junior Year)时从化学专业转修纯艺术。此后创作作品主要以抽象形式,运用多种材料探索自然与人造,随机与具象,生长与衰退的关系。
From Hua’s experience of reading and writing, she is deeply influenced by observation, experience, expression, and aesthetic preferences from fictional literature and ancient Chinese poetry. She transferred from a science to a fine art major in her junior year of college. Then she began her exploration of nature and artificiality, randomness and embodiment, organization, and entropy.

岳明⽉的艺术实践传递了她对“死亡是⽣命的⼀部分”的思考,同时她也在探索⼥性身体和孕育的关系。⿊纱与红纱作为反复出现的物质材料,成为她作品的内在符号纽带。她的作品同时关注纺织材料质感差异,⼿⼯刺绣和数码刺绣⼯艺。岳明⽉的个⼈及合作作品涉及纤维与纺织艺术、摄影、绘画、戏剧和短⽚。
Yue’s artistic practice conveys her thinking that death is a part of life, while she also explores the relationship between conception and the female body. Black and red yarn, as recurring materials, has become the inner symbolic bond of her works. Her work focuses on both textural differences in textile materials, hand embroidery, and digital embroidery. Yue’s personal and collaborative works cover fiber and textile art, photography, painting, drama, and short films.
纱布,线,喷漆 Gauze, Thread, Spray Paint
《红纱·轨迹》描绘了对生命起源的想象。作品灵感来源于中世纪壁毯《启示录》,通过线与喷漆留下的轨迹,构建血液、火与新生儿的元素,延续了作者对生命系列的探索。
“Trace” depicts the imagination of the origin of life. The work is inspired by the medieval tapestry “Apocalypse”, through the traces left by the thread and spray paint, constructing the elements of blood, fire, and newborn, continuing the author’s exploration of the life series.
最近几年朱子仪专注于讨论社会群体与个体之间的批判性关系以及他们之间的相互作用。在当代社会中,作为个体的我们如何被群体价值观的进化裹挟;当代社会现象和运动发生时,个体的参与又如何与社会发展的形态发生互动。
Zhu Ziyi has been focusing on the critical relationship and interaction between society and individuals in recent years. In contemporary society, how are we, as individuals, bound by the evaluation of group values. How does individual participation interact with the social development pattern when social movement and phenomenon happens?

郑栖梧在书法创作中关注于探索书写行为中的独立性和时间的有序规定性;对书法而言,“行为”本身即是它的目的之一;书写的过程中的动态力量在有序的规定下产生的时间性,它脱离了物理特征;人作为主体在书写的过程中,身体的自然反应以及内心的映射都在不知不觉中受到了“行为”的影响。
In Zheng’s practice of calligraphy, Qiwu focuses on exploring the process of handwriting and the sequential rule of time. She believes that “action” itself is one of her purposes of practicing calligraphy. The dynamic finger and arm movement during the writing process generate its unique timeliness. The action unconsciously generates, alternates,connects human being’s physical and emotional reactions, and gives “spirit” to the characters; human beings as the subject in the process of writing, the natural reaction of the body and the inner mapping are affected by “action” unconsciously.

拥有音乐与声音制作的学术背景使赵嘉旌得以深入探索声音中无限的可能性。他的艺术实践以声音设计为中心,跨越多个领域:作曲、表演、声音增强现实、视频、装置艺术。他的作品通常体现了对于社会问题的哲学思考和对于既定现实的再想象。他的主要关注点包括:消费主义/资本主义的世界,监视、后人类世的世界、灵魂与形而上。
A background in music and sound production allows Zhao Jiajing to keep exploring the immense possibilities of sound. His current work focuses on the spatial sound domain, with practices across composition, performance, sonic AR design, video, and installation. His artistic practices explore the phenomenology of sound, based on which he developed his Master’s dissertation about sonic world-building. His works often feature a philosophical discussion about social issues and rethinking of reality. Key areas of interest include spirituality, the post-anthropocene world, surveillance, comsumerist/capitalist society, and oriental philosophy.
四通道交互声音视频 4-Channel Audio, Video
《提取装置》是一个四通道交互音频、视频装置,主要探索深度监视时代之中的存在危机。2020年,埃隆·马斯克的NeuraLink公司演示了他们最新研发的脑机接口。这个设备镶嵌在头盖骨中,并且据他本人描述,它可以阅读脑部活动,并准确预测由脑部控制的肢体活动。作为一款深入到脑部的监视设备,它标志着监视技术提取人体信息的又一个里程碑。这种监视技术和数据结构更多关注的是肉体而非个人,并且将肉体运作的信息整合成一种新的本体来取代个人形而上的存在。《提取装置》将被监视对象的脑部活动信息可听化、可视化,让被监视的对象与其数据化身直接对话,并且在密集抽象数据海洋中思考在数据主义时代最迫在眉睫的问题:我们还拥有超脱肉体的,不可言喻的独特存在吗?
The Extractor is a 4-Channel interactive audio, video installation exploring the existential crisis in the age of deep surveillance. In 2020, Elon Musk’s NeuraLink has presented with their brain-machine interface, which is installed flush on the skull. The little electronic piece, according to Musk, can read brain activity, and even predict the body movement corresponding to the micro electro-currents of the brain. The surveillance device has reached deep under skin level, which signifies another step further to exhausting data from the body. Rather than being about persons, the surveillance technologies and data structures are of the body, giving rise to a new ontology of the body as information by breaking the body into flows to feed the assemblage over the reconstitution of the body with such flows. Such kind of existence by the representation of data is annihilating the metaphysical existence of individuals. The Extractor sonifies and visualises the brainwave activity of the audience to allow direct conversation between the digital avatar and the individual under surveillance. The by putting audiences into the sea of data extracted from them, artwork asks an emergent question in the era of Dataism: do we still have ineffable existences which transcends bodily presence?
