新冠疫情,讓許多不可能變成可能,也令許多原本理所當然的事,變得遙不可及…。既然,尋常的成了夢想,想像的卻成真了,自然沒有什麼是永恆不變的。所以,順應變局的能力,是現代人面對未來之必備能力。預演未來,將開啟您的想像力,一窺變局中的變與定。
天、地、人的無常,令我們思索著未來。此時人類正歷經COVID-19疫情對於生活所帶來的衝擊,然而疫情的爆發僅是將這些一直以來自然界中其他物種的存在顯現出來而已。當這些物種危及人類生存危機之時,我們必須迫切地思考與之共存的未來場景,而非抱持著與病毒隔絕的態度。疫情同時也讓我們正視另一議題,那就是人類與科技之間的交互關係。疫情似乎限縮我們的生存範圍,讓大自然從人類自以為的宰制中暫時解放出來,但人類卻同時在發展更多的科技,試圖控制疫情,對大自然的反撲進一步征服。
本展《預演未來》選擇從對於自我理想境界的關注,擴大對當代議題的共感,以預演近未來家居生活場景的方式,帶領觀者演練看似未來的生活景象,其實更關乎當下的生存現實。現代家庭居所(domestic space)從歷史地表浮現,無疑是人類透過科技的力量改造自然,成為一個被馴服的環境(domesticated environment)。而疫病的爆發,不僅迫使我們再次審視人與自然共生關係之中存在的矛盾,也加速了科技融入日常生活的進程。在今日高度發達的社會,高科技無塵無菌家庭已然成為理想家居環境的典範,作為人們欲求的私有領域,儼然是免於生存危機的庇護所。本展設計基調投射家居空間的想像,引領觀眾身歷其境,在我們認為家的安全庇護中,反思隱藏其中的危機意識。
展覽邀請來自國內外十位藝術家,共同勾勒未來事物的輪廓,作品包括表演、錄像裝置、立體裝置、數位繪畫、繪畫、遊戲等多元形式,議題觸及智慧家電、神話、天災、新資源、衛生、微生物、信仰、AI、演算法、數位分身、元遊戲…等。無論是病毒或是科技所引起的恐慌,再再地引發我們重探人類自古以來對於生存危機所採取的種種反應。李維史陀告訴我們,神話思維並非迷信,而是前現代社會對於宇宙秩序追求的心靈活動,以助於他們通往未來文明。而今,科技的機制帶來了進步的信念,改變了我們的時間意識,創造了未來的維度。面對原初自然裡不可思議力量的焦慮與恐懼,人類對於未來的想像與追求,始終隱含著順應變局的能力。本展將重新審視人與自然、科技三者之間的共存關係,科技作為人類與環境的中介,並非將人從環境的威脅隔離出來,而是打開了裂隙,讓人與其生存環境中一切的存在,重新定義彼此。
