在这个数字时代,我们身临声光交织的激流,漂泊于信息的浩瀚海洋中,却时常感到孤寂,难以触摸真实情感的深邃。如同电影中的场景,我们在狂欢派对的嘈杂中惊声尖叫,而一切最终都如同雨中的泪滴,狂喜与哀伤如影随形,一同被淹没在无尽的虚幻之中。
这场展览旨在探索人类情感与感知的丰富性,同时反思我们在人工智能等技术迅速发展的时代所经历的冷漠、沟通的徒劳和爱的无能。《在派对中尖叫,如雨中之泪》试图揭示这个时代被掩藏的矛盾,对技术和媒体对人的异化提出批判,同时寻找人类存在的本质。
资本和技术的加速正在扭曲人类情感的生成:一方面,面对社会体系性问题的无法改变,我们出于自我保护的本能选择平和面对,试图在情感的稳定中找到更确定的未来;另一方面,在数字世界中,算法的规训使我们轻易被信息茧房所操纵,被压抑的情感在虚拟空间中肆意涌动,愤怒、喜悦、共鸣、焦虑和恐慌等情感不受拘束地跃动,形成巨大的情感漩涡。似乎在数字世界中获取的刺激和快感越多,我们在现实中的感受就越来越虚弱。
展览邀请了六组面对相似困境、保持敏感度的艺术家,他们始终调动和塑造自己的感知,冲破算法呈现的平均结果,产生由复杂情感驱动的富有创造性的实践。展览的核心主题之一是展现人类情感的复杂性,通过艺术家的作品,观众将清晰感受到每位艺术家情感的微妙生成与剧烈变化,展览试图唤醒沉睡的感知,刺激迟钝的心灵,揭示喧嚣中的孤独。
六组艺术家在此次展览中运用直觉的反主流表达方式,深入探讨人类情感的多层次性,展览在影像、绘画、装置以及表演的带动下,将形成一个自省的空间,一个艺术家和观众都能够面对自身情感复杂性的庇护所。你将摆脱数字幻象的束缚,重新发现人类情感的深邃,以及人与人、自然之间的紧密连接。同时,展览也邀请每位好奇的朋友共同探索真实情感的细腻图景,以充沛的感知更新自我认知,与艺术家一同练习情感韧性,潇洒航行。
In the contemporary era characterized by digitization, individuals find themselves navigating the confluence of sensory stimuli, adrift in the vast expanse of information. Paradoxically, amidst this seemingly interconnected landscape, a pervasive sense of solitude persists, impeding the palpable exploration of profound emotional realms. Analogous to a cinematic scenario, revelry in a cacophonous party culminates in collective exclamations, only to ultimately mirror tears in the rain—wherein exuberance and melancholy coalesce, engulfed in an inexhaustible realm of illusion.
This exhibition endeavors to scrutinize the intricacies of human emotion and perception, concurrently engaging in critical reflection on the prevalent apathy, the inefficacy of communication, and the incapacitation of love within the rapidly evolving technological epoch, notably, the advent of artificial intelligence. Titled “Screaming at the Party, Like Tears in the Rain,” the exhibition aspires to lay bare the concealed contradictions of our epoch, critiquing the alienation perpetrated by technological advancements and media, while concurrently questing for the fundamental tenets of human existence.
The accelerated confluence of capital and technology serves to distort the genesis of human emotion. On one facet, confronted with systemic societal quandaries seemingly impervious to change, individuals instinctively adopt a stoic stance, seeking solace within emotional equanimity as a recourse for a more sanguine future. Conversely, within the digital realm, algorithmic regimentation renders individuals susceptible to manipulation within information cocoons, facilitating the unbridled surge of repressed emotions in virtual spheres. This unrestrained surge manifests as colossal emotional vortices, encompassing emotions such as anger, joy, resonance, anxiety, and panic. Paradoxically, as stimuli and pleasure accrue in the digital milieu, sensory experiences in the physical world diminish proportionately.
The exhibition convenes six groups of artists grappling with analogous predicaments while retaining acute sensitivity. These artists perpetually harness and mold their perceptions, transcending the homogenizing effects of algorithms to engender practices underscored by creativity and complex emotions. A paramount thematic focus of the exhibition lies in delineating the intricate tapestry of human emotions. Through the artistic oeuvre on display, spectators are afforded a lucid appreciation of the nuanced genesis and tumultuous vicissitudes characterizing the emotions of each artist. The exhibition, thus, aspires to rouse dormant sensibilities, stimulate dulled psyches, and unveil the specter of loneliness amid the clamor.
The artistic cohorts comprising the exhibition employ nonconformist modes of expression, rooted in intuition, to plumb the multi-layered terrain of human emotions. Facilitated by mediums such as imagery, paintings, installations, and performances, the exhibition aspires to cultivate a contemplative space—a refuge wherein both artists and observers can confront the intricacies of their emotional landscapes. Liberated from the fetters of digital illusions, participants are beckoned to rediscover the profundity of human emotions and the symbiotic connection between individuals and the natural milieu. Simultaneously, the exhibition extends an invitation to all inquisitive minds to collectively explore the nuanced panoramas of authentic emotions, renew self-awareness through heightened perception, and, in tandem with the artists, adeptly navigate the waters of emotional resilience.
