可見的、不可見的光纖、網路、電纜潛行現實空間,不知不覺地,凝視智能手機的姿態成為過去十年來的時代動作。在網際網路發展近30年的今日,虛擬數位世界藉由資訊處理的技術漸漸分秒滲入日常,替每個人分擔著日常記錄、你我的情感交流及資訊共享等,致使生活細節不斷延伸變異、片刻即溶。海量資訊及其潛力所造成的日常結構性轉變,此展企圖以記憶做為平台,在展覽中做一個簡單的假定:將線上搜集到的數據記錄比擬作儲於身體之外的記憶。記憶中介於心靈智慧與身體間,展開在各種資訊、記憶、人造載具、身體間自由裝配組合的試驗過程。

策展人王韓芳邀請台灣、香港、捷克八組藝術家:茲比涅克.巴拉德、周東彥、徐世琪、曲倩雯、施昀佑、吳宜曄、鄧兆旻,及暗流體工作坊的集體創作(暗流體 X 凌天、林新惠、施昀佑、黃偉軒)共同展出。從記憶生理、生物工程至網路媒體與社群操作,我們即將進入人類的心靈智慧與身體可以被拆解到最小元素並進行轉化工程的時代,此展期許在記憶的本質、人與數據、身體與機具的關係間,找出一個對於現今生存狀態的理解與應變。

Twenty-nine years have passed since the World Wide Web was invented in 1990. Information technology has long infiltrated our daily life, processing data about our lives and information exchange. Globalized communication and online systems have rewired our brain, submerging us in a sea of data created by humanity itself, a species that has in the recent decade nurtured a habit of staring at the smart phone. Almost three decades old, the digital world now pervades the everyday, allowing life details to transform and instantly dissolve. The birth of big data has changed people’s daily life. With the help of the Internet, personal information is constantly collected, used to predict as well as influence users’ objectives, thoughts, and behaviors, further maneuvering shifts in collective behavior. This exhibition attempts to make a straightforward hypothesis with the concept of memory, which is, regard digital information collected online as external memory. As such, memory, a mediation between human psyche and body, then inevitably began to experiment its process of reconfiguration and reassignment between varied information and memories as well as their carriers and physical body.

This exhibition is the project of “Curator’s Incubator Program at Museum” supported by National Culture and Arts Foundation, for which the curator Wang Han-Fang has invited eight groups of artists from Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Czech Republic: Zbyněk Baladrán, Chou Tung-Yen, Vvzela Kook, Shih Yunyu, Angela Su, Wu I-Yeh, Teng Chao-Ming, and Collective Workshop Dark Fluid (Dark Fluid X Ling Tien, Lin Hsin-Hui, Huang Wei-Hsuan, Shih Yunyu). From neuroscience and biological engineering to the monopolisation of media and society, we are entering the time when human psyche and body could be disintegrated into the smallest module for transformation engineering. Facing such changes, the ultimate aim of this exhibition is to understand and respond to modern life through the scrutiny of the relationships between memory, humanity and data, the body and the device.
