在别处 Escaping to another 2021

混合媒介装置 Mix media installation

"身未动，思已远"描绘的是一种当身体未曾移动, 思绪却在时间和空间中自由行走的状态。

这是一个在疫情期间艺术家根据个体经验创作的混合媒介装置——它由一个悬挂在黑暗空间中的屏幕，以及屏幕中连续直播着的另一个不同时区城市的天空构成，在机器和人类想象力之间创造了一个混合人造自然的现实景观。为了回归经典媒体艺术装置、避免复杂设计布局或形而上学的阐述，艺术家特意呈现出这种朴素的装置形式，以最大限度地减少干扰，调动观众感官, 充分体验作品。艺术家试图将这件作品 "隐藏 "在日常之中，带领观众深思并与这些强大的力量互动。

在这里, 一个实时化的想象空间。直播是这件作品使用的唯一技术，目的是在当前的现实之上创造一个替代的"现实"。天空, 与大海相似，是一个现实与非现实相融合的区域。正是在这里，时间和空间唤起了自由的想象力和另类的感官体验。即使在非疫情时期，当我们旅行或生活在世界的不同地方时，天空一直是一个界限与无尽矛盾混合的空间。

There is a Chinese proverb:” Before the body moves, the mind is already far away”, which means that the physical body is still in place, but the mind is already set free to wander through time and space. 

This is a live stream installation created during the epidemic. Consists of a hanging screen in a dark space, that continuously shows Skies from different cities in real-time, thus composing a mixed reality landscape between machine and the imagination. This mode of presentation is a return to the classic media art installation. The artist intentionally presents an almost austere form, avoiding overly complicated design layout or metaphysical elaborations, maximising the sensory experience of the viewer and reducing distractions to fully experience the piece. Artist attempts to “hide'' this piece in everyday norms, bringing the viewer into contemplation and interaction with those powerful forces.

It is an imaginary space in real-time. Live streaming is the only technique used in this work, with the aim of creating an alternative reality on top of the current one. Similar to the sea, the sky is a domain where reality merges unreality. It is here that time and space give rise to free imagination and alternative sensory experiences. Even in non-pandemic times, as we travel or live in different parts of the world, the sky simultaneously evokes the contradictory sensations of a bounded place as well as endless space.
