Natural Monument: for gif/
天然紀念物:for gif
天然紀念物作為主要概念對象,使用一種廣為人知的網路圖像格式GIF,通常在一般人使用gif時,是作為代替文字敘述的表情符號,它有種獨特的現代人的新的溝通方式,GIF,它的性質簡單解釋就是一個短暫的、無限循環的影像。
這樣的快速、重複性質的影像,如同這世代的一種總體感知以及人類傳達影像資訊去表達自己的感情。
Natural monuments are used as the main conceptual objects, using a well-known online image format GIF. Usually when ordinary people use GIF, it is used as an emoticon instead of text description. It has a unique new way of communication for modern people, GIF. A simple explanation of its nature is that it is a short-lived, infinitely looping image.Such fast and repetitive images are like an overall perception of this generation and human beings convey image information to express their emotions.
在駐村期間我聽到了一個故事,『太陽出生於洞穴並死於洞穴』 ,這句話深深的打動我,也使我聯想到這與GIF 有同樣的對應,一種循環狀態,洞穴在生態系以及對人類歷史來說都有非常特殊的含義。 可以想像一下,一個光從洞穴出來,來到充滿光的地方,這個光可以指稱 生命、一切物質,路徑持續到光進入地表再回到洞穴,我不會去解釋這樣的感知像是最終就是死亡,而我所相信的是Loop,一種與自然共存的樣態。這也回應了主題 天然紀念物:for.gif,天然紀念物 在解釋上就是一個大自然的紀念碑,總體所涵蓋的是包含人類介入的狀態去選定的。For.gif 如同一個雙關字:forgive,也如同for跟give,如同一種『寬恕、原諒』,也是『為了』、『給予』。展出形式上,可以看到像是磚塊般的堆疊,這也就是AIAV的外牆樣貌。
我以三大主題,火(秋吉台燒山祭)、洞窟、水爲關注物,是一個垂直地層風景的想像,火進到洞窟,出來變成水。地層的垂直感,與影像磚塊的人工堆疊,象徵著自然與人的共存,傳統形式的紀念碑,通常是有份量的,我的影像卻是輕盈的,更具備著永恆的指稱。動態的接合製造出永恆跑動的錯覺,在這樣的條件裡 有光與水與火的動態,在這些關鍵元素中,一同建構我的循環影像(gif)。

在期間荷蘭藝術家Stef與我討論聲音剪輯的理論,一個很簡單的手法叫做crossfade (淡入或淡出),意思是將兩個不同的聲音作為接合所使用的手法,更簡單的說法如同powerpoint 裡切換頁面的動畫,前方的物體進行一個光源遞減或遞增,後方的物體也被前方的動態帶動出來。
這樣的解釋很複雜、難理解,但這就是一種含有動態的去製造出一種柔和的出現以及消失,它製造了錯覺、暴力的前進、永恆感。從這世代的閱讀影像習慣裡,我試圖在基礎設定以及為何出現裡反覆進行研究,以及GIF對於網路世代的一種重要性,需要開始回看為何我們使用它。
在窗邊這件作品以三層自然地景為主,角色(奕軒相遇的研究者、學者)面對風景的影像敘事內容。 這是從浪漫主義畫家Caspar David Friedrich的一件作品Wanderer above the Sea of fog 所感知的,一個漫遊者站在高處俯視著一切,但眼前的一切是雲霧繚繞,這也能代稱駐村創作者來到此處的心清,讚嘆自然的美,並從自然得到某種領悟。作為藝術創作的 內外空間對應,三個影像構成一個紀念碑,同時也是人本體,觀看在布簾後的大型影像紀念碑,現在的我們要在隔一層窗戶看著這樣的關係狀態。
During my stay in the village, I heard a story, "The sun is born in a cave and dies in a cave." This sentence touched me deeply, and also reminded me that it has the same correspondence with GIF, a cyclic state, and the cave is in Ecosystem and human history have very special meaning. You can imagine that a light comes out of a cave and comes to a place full of light. This light can refer to life and all matter. The path continues until the light enters the surface and then returns to the cave. I will not explain that such a perception is like death in the end. , and what I believe is Loop, a way of coexisting with nature. This also responds to the theme of natural monuments: for.gif, a natural monument is interpreted as a natural monument, and the overall coverage is selected by the state of human intervention. For.gif is like a pun: forgive, like for and give, like a kind of "forgiveness", "for" and "give". In the exhibition form, you can see stacks like bricks, which is what the exterior wall of AIAV looks like.
I focus on three major themes: fire (Akiyoshidai Mountain Burning Festival), caves, and water. It is an imagination of a vertical stratigraphic landscape. Fire enters the cave and comes out to become water. The verticality of the ground and the artificial stacking of image bricks symbolize the coexistence of nature and man. Monuments in traditional forms are usually heavy, but my images are light and have an eternal reference. The dynamic connection creates the illusion of eternal running. Under such conditions, there are dynamics of light, water and fire. Among these key elements, my looping image (gif) is constructed together. During this period, the Dutch artist Stef discussed the theory of sound editing with me. A very simple technique is called crossfade (fade in or fade out), which means the technique used to join two different sounds. A simpler way of saying it is like switching pages in PowerPoint. animation, the object in front undergoes a light source decrease or increase, and the object behind is also driven by the dynamics in front. Such an explanation is complex and difficult to understand, but it is a dynamic way of creating a soft appearance and disappearance, which creates an illusion, a violent progression, and a sense of eternity. From the image reading habits of this generation, I tried to conduct repeated research on the basic settings and why they appeared. As well as the importance of GIF to the Internet generation, we need to start looking back at why we use it.
身體的位置涵蓋了許多意義層面,一個是曾經到達那處的身體,另一個是現在在此處的身體。
