　　时空幻象系列录像

　　时间和空间是不应该分割的概念。没有人能够真正解释我们面前的图像。当我们抛弃原有成见, 才能开始寻找图像中的符号和意义从而重新构建认知逻辑。

　　这些录像作品，每一个都源自一个真实的现场演出, 影像中的影像亦是虚拟的演员。情节的展开由观看者(人)、表演者(人)、动物影像、空间影像、所在空间与光影之间的真实互动关系建立。它们被安置在空间里进行无限的循环播放，制造场域性的铺设，力图形成一种时空对时空的入侵, 观看与被观看的开放式关系。通过建立平行空间式的时空包裹引发观者认知上暂时性的错乱, 激发意识解放, 任想象穿梭于现实与虚幻, 历史当下与未来的之间，在混沌中产生相关概念的检索和共情, 重启出新的认知。该系列作品的构建基础是人与动物概念图形化关系后共谋所得的数学模型。录像的素材基于艺术家的自创的具有实时性和生长性的影音剧场项目《困生》, 该项目由艺术家柴觅设计、导演和推动, 演出结合了当代舞, 实时影像和声音技术、空间装置等，曾在多个非营利艺术机构面向公众呈现。每一部录像作品的名称都包含演出所发生的日期。

　　Spacetime Illusion Video Series

　　The concepts of time and space are should not be divided. No one can really explain the image in front of us. Only abandoning our prejudice, one can see a sign-meaning and symbol-meaning of an image, thus reconstructing the cognitive logic.

　　Each of these video works originates from a real live performance, while the images are virtual actors. The plot is developed on the basis of the interaction between viewers (people), performers (people), animal images, space images, light, and shadow. They are placed in a space to circulate an infinite transmission and to form an open relationship between time and space, beholder and someone who is watched. By creating a parallel space type of space-time package, the viewer's cognition can be temporarily confused, the consciousness is liberated, and the imagination is shuttled between reality and illusion, between the past, present, and future. The cognition can be restarted by producing a concept of empathy in chaos. This series of works is based on the graphical relationships between humans and animals, and, as a result, on the mathematical model of these relationships. The material of the video is based on the live ongoing audiovisual theater project “CAPTURED CREATURES”. The project was initiated, designed and directed by artist Chai Mi. The performance combines contemporary dance, real-time video, sound technology, and site installation. It was presented to the public at various non-profit arts organizations. The title of each video work contains the date of the performance.

　　装置作品|夜光词 Night Light

　　材料：油墨、纸、夜光材料

　　数量：3

　　艺术家将三篇短文印制在合成夜光材料的纸上。通过吸收光线，才能使夜光纸发光并将文字在黑暗中反衬出来，然而随着时间的流逝，和光照的减少，夜光纸将暗淡下去，文字也将变得不易见或在黑暗中不可见，在光照充足的情况下，夜光纸上的文字将再次显现，如此反复，构成一件可以随时间和环境变化的作品。三篇短文分别来自《伊索寓言》、《飞鸟集》和《彩图集》三本广为流传的文集。它们分别出现于公元前6世纪、20世纪初和19世纪中后期，确意外的在字面上产生了互相关联，共同提及了多重的意向，在结构上也形成了一个有趣的串联以及回路。文1来自《伊索寓言》描述了人与兽神话式的渊源;文2选自《飞鸟集》，通过观感显现了人与兽的区别;文3摘录于《彩图集》，随着潜意识般的描述呈现出人与兽之间混沌不明的牵扯。从神话传说、到人类情感、再到梦境般的神秘描绘，千百年来这些文字被不断的书写、编写和流传，在不同的时代传达着并不一定相同的含义。这三首诗的发现源于在创作 时空幻象《困生》系列作品时的阅读摘抄，对于艺术家来说它们如同思想的夜灯，成为深夜里灵感的向导。

　　本次在SNARTE SPACE的展览，是该作品的首次曝光。

　　Night Light

　　Installation

　　Medium: printing ink, paper, luminous material

　　Quantity: 3

　　Artist has printed three short essays on an aluminous material. Absorbing the light, the luminous paper can shine, and make a text be seen in the dark. However, with the passage of time, the luminous paper is fading, and the text becomes invisible. When the light is sufficient again, the text will appear, creating the concept that can change with time and environment. Three short essays are selected from the collection works such as Aesop's Fables, Stray Birds, and Illuminations. They were written in different time periods: the 6th century BC, the early 20th century, and the late 19th century. Text One is from "Aesop's Fables", describes the source of human and animal myths; Text Two is selected from the "Stray Birds ", and shows the difference between human and animal through the observations; Text Three was taken from poetry collection "Illuminations", and presents a chaotic relationship between humans and animals. Starting from legends, myths, human emotions, dreams, these words have circulated for centuries, do not necessarily remains the same meaning. As part of the Spacetime Illusion “Captured Creatures” project, these three poems are like the night light of thoughts, become an inspiration guide in the night.

　　The installation is exhibited for the first time at Snarte Space.
