與洗衣機一起練習太極
運轉的聲音讓我覺得很協調，心裡很平靜
這是我第二次試著身體與機器同步
第一次是與一台直立式電風扇

Spiritual at sunrise, positive in the morning

By noon, I stand between black and whiteI seek humor in the evening

And stare at the refrigerator in the late night

清晨的我靈性
早晨的我陽光
中午的我站在黑白交界
晚上的我盡量搞笑
深夜的我望著冰箱

Ricecooker
A warm body that exchanges Power internally and externally
Water boils into heat that rises through the cracks
Hisses until the automatic switch jumps up
Pop!

電鍋發熱體，在內外交換能量
水氣蒸騰，內勁從隙縫中上升
嘶——嘶——
直到自動開關跳起
發勁！

影像與文字：林亭君，2021

林亭君持續發展中的《3C形意拳》是一套開源協作的新內家拳法，以全新的角度體驗數位科技生活的都市修行，古老的形意拳在於捕捉自然界動物的行為生態，那些充斥在日常裡的各種3C產品，已構成我們所熟悉的新自然環境。最高的「形意」境界是「成為」，通過身體行為和精神意會，轉換我們對這些技術物的認知經驗與關係。 2017年起林亭君以集體開發工作坊、實驗展演等藝術實踐與不同群體交流。透過形神意會，領略現代新自然，預備具有未來特性的身心調和技術。

Xia Lin

Xia Lin employs multimedia, video, text and performance for an artistic practice that concerns Taichi philosophy, martial arts, and cognitive processes of humans and machines. Xia’s ongoing project 3C Xing Yi Quan is a new form of internal martial arts that seeks to grasp the essence of mobile computer gadgets and accessories. The practice helps mind and body equilibrium in the digital age. Xia is a co-founder of lololol , a Taipei-based art collective founded in 2013. Its initiative “Future Tao” is an ongoing exploration of Taoist interpretations of technology in today’s context of living. While departing from a specific worldview, the project seeks to engage with a broad scope of affinitive knowledge structures with a shared interest in co-habitation, universalism and flow. While the project has mostly operated within the context of contemporary art, it seeks to bring the potential of art back to its original social function of mediation.
