月球太空計畫
我被大量的生活用品包圍。生活便利,事情變得快速。食物有即食包裝,只要微波加熱。衣服冬天heat-tech夏天cold-tech。住在標準化的水泥方格裡,看電視、上網。交通工具將時間和距離壓縮扭曲。生活方式十年一巨變,與幾億人一起被動地無感、停滯、不知所措。日復一日的重複或許已將我剝離了所在之地,所處之境,像是生活在漂浮著的單人星系。在疏離猶如無重力的狀態裡,我點到一則網路傳說:
『我轉世很多輩子了,我還記得曾經在一個科技相當發達的史前年代轉世過,遠遠超過現代的發達程度,許多現代人認為不可能的科技在當時是家常便飯。當時的人們科技發達到想要製造一顆月亮上天,照亮黑暗的夜空,而我在當時是一個工程師,協助建造了月球。我記得月球中間不但是中空的,還放滿了各種精密的控制儀器,以及精密的齒輪組,機械的精密度遠遠高過目前的最尖端科技,這些機械可以維持月球正常環繞地球運轉。他們使用一種超高密度的能源維持月球的自轉與公轉,因此可以維持月球轉到今天還沒停下來。』
他說月球是古代人高人發射的。我卻覺得嚮往,甚至很想要相信。但是在這個謠言裡,科技的狂熱最終還是必須建構在另一種維度的傳說上:他是轉世來的。轉世的無法確定被連結了人的終極科技與藝術 — 製作巨大月球。或許正是這兩種不可能發生之事的揉和才真正地描繪了我們的當下,也才是這樣的網路謠言迷人之處。當代人對於外界與自身的隔閡感和對科技的無法掌握、無法預測,讓我們失去了對於浪漫感性的臆想能力。包圍在家電世界中,漠然的加速日常,如同離開地球,浮在自己無重力的宇宙。
看完就被廢棄的傳說是個起點。<月球太空計畫> 試圖創造一個漫遊在太空與日常生活的裝置奇觀, 一個由現代生活的疏離狀態下拓展的幻想場景。
Outer Space and Moon Series
I was surrounded by stuff. Convenience made my life easier, and things accelerate. I had food instantly ready with the microwave. I had heat-tech for winter and cold-tech for summer. I lived in a standard concrete cube, watched TV, and surfed the internet. My time and space was squeezed and twisted by all kinds of transportation. My living style has changed in the past ten years. However, billions of people, just like me, feel nothing about this change. It seems that we were stopped by something and did not know what to do, or where to go. I might be stripped from where I belong by the repetition of daily life. My life was floating in a one-person galaxy. In this state of zero-gravity, I clicked a contemporary legend online:
“I’ve been through many incarnations. I remember in one life, a prehistoric era with highly developed technology, far beyond the technology today. Many impossible things were completely normal then. People wanted to create a moon to light up the dark sky. I was an engineer, involved in building the moon. The moon is hollow inside, with sophisticated control instruments, machinery, and precise gear sets—far more advanced than the technology today. The machines were able to maintain the rotation of the moon to Earth, and they used highly-condensed energy to ensure its continuous rotation and revolution until now.”
In the legend, the moon was launched into space by ancient technology. I was enamored by this legend and wanted to believe it. However techno-mania has to be built on another dimension. The qualms of incarnation are linked to an ultimate technology and art – building the moon. Perhaps, the combination of these two implausible stories depict our present, and this is the reason for its intrigue. The contemporary man, in isolation to his surroundings and a lack of control or prediction towards technology, loses his capacity for romantic imagination. Mobbed by technological products and an accelerated daily life, I float in the universe, as if I have left the Earth.
A disintegrating internet legend is a start. Outer Space and Moon Series attempts to build an installation where one wanders the quotidian and outer space, an imagination expanded from the isolation of contemporary life.
<月球太空計畫>創作初始發表於2012年,首先完成<太空艙>,而後完成<旅行車>和<月球>,完整展出於2015年位於台北汐止的mt.black 屋頂的展覽場地。 2021年與「伊日藝術計劃」合作,再次完整展覽於「伊日藝術計劃」位於台北內湖的展場。作品三個部份經由重新整理,對材料和造型細部的處理更進一步,<太空艙>從原來的造型再延伸、增加細節;<旅行車>原有的箱型車已經報廢,將重新製作,以初始的概念演變為不同的型態;<月球>重塑表面的顏色質感,重新設計作品的懸吊架系統,現地裝置來連結展場環境。
作品三個部份經由重新整理,對材料和造型細部的處理更進一步。
<太空艙>從原來的造型再延伸、增加細節,在底部加上台座;
<月球>重塑表面的顏色質感,重新設計作品的懸吊架系統,以工程鷹架組件再加工,現地裝置來連結展場環境;
<旅行車>原有的箱型車已經報廢,重新製作,以初始的概念(高速交通工具結合休憩空間的木地板和加熱中的咖啡,表達在習以為常的高速生活中,怡然自得的擁有咖啡時光、休息時間,生活好像在不停變速的空間)變型,演變為不同的型態,汽車前方接近轉彎處的反光廣角鏡,汽車停在高速之後的翻車狀態,內部的木地板分割拼接成轉彎方向的警示標誌,指向相反的行進方向,木板上懸置一杯翻倒的玻璃杯和停止的水,汽車平衡在高速之後靜止的情境物件拼貼中,連結時空不停變異的現實世界。
三個作品的關係好比一個樂團合奏一首歌曲,<太空艙>像是ㄧ位主唱,由它來完整唱出這首歌詞曲傳達的內容,它可以獨立演出;<月球>擔任吉他手的演奏任務,是增加這首歌曲音場氛圍的靈魂角色,時而合奏、時而獨奏,呈現旋律最重要的精髓;<旅行車>是樂團團長,團員因它號召而成團,負責鼓手的位置,演奏從它開始發聲,樂手配合它的節奏進行,掌控音樂的速度和風格屬性。汽車是現實生活的太空艙,在汽車裡擁有了獨自的高速時空,觀看著擋風玻璃外的風景,發展出這首太空故事。
