3C Xing Yi Quan

3C形意拳

(2017-present)

Xia Lin

Xia Lin's art project ’3C Xing Yi Quan' is a new style of martial arts (open source, work in progress) that imitates the body language and characteristics of 3C products.


How has your body changed with long-term use of 3C products?


  1. The neck stretches forward to watch the screen, and a new lump of flesh is developed on the back of neck.
  2. The back of wrist becomes smooth after prolonged time using keyboard and mouse.
  3. The spine is shaped into a humpback, or strained off center by sitting crossed legs or sideways.
  4. The butt is flattened, and a growing belly forms after sitting at a chair for a long time.
  5. Restless legs and habitual shaking movements formed by an agitated body not wanting to stay in same place.
  6. Eyes glued to the screen, trained to browse information very quickly.
  7. Scope of vision becomes narrow and close.
  8. Feeling comfortable with screen light and LED in the dark.
  9. Feeling uncomfortable without WiFi, have to check updates all the time.
  10. The ears can distinguish different cell phone alerts and sound effects. (and etc…)


長期使用3C產品有可能的身體蛻變:

  1. 容易伸長脖子看螢幕,頸部後面凸起的肉。
  2. 手掌下方因經常使用鍵盤和滑鼠而變光滑的皮膚。
  3. 駝背、翹腳、側坐的脊椎。
  4. 因長時間的坐姿,越來越凸的小腹,越來越扁平的屁股。
  5. 不甘願一直坐在椅子上不停晃動的腿。
  6. 能盯著螢幕看都不眨眼,並快速瀏覽資訊的眼球。
  7. 習慣近距離的視線範圍。
  8. 習慣在黑暗中有螢幕與LED的光線。
  9. 需要時常檢查更新,沒有wifi網路會焦慮不安的內心。
  10. 能分辨出各種不同訊息音效的耳朵(等等很多...)。

Virtual Feng Shui Statues 
虛擬風水養生雕塑


Fong Han-Yu














Fong Han-yu is a Health Aesthetician who has committed himself to the study and methodology of Virtual Health Preservation. Dr. Feng founded this school of thought in 1991, he has published numerous books and has invented a line of health cultivation sculptures beneficial for the mind and body. These sculptures combine traditional chinese theory and human-oriented technological innovations. Engage through the means of look, touch, appreciation and play, and improve the flow of qi through the tendons and muscles. These sculptures, placed in a suitable position at home can guide a prosperous flow of fengshui energy. Health cultivation sculptures are not confined in the virtual or the real; the virtual and the real are mutually generative, they can also be deposited on the internet. The sculptures are a blessing to modern day people who live a busy lifestyle.

We now have mastered
the ability to throw stones with empty hands
現在,我們已掌握了空手扔石頭的能力


Eteam (Hajoe Moderegger and Franziska Lamprecht)




Who knows the future of predictions? Will they be made by machines, our fortunes told by data? Techne, as it says in the dictionary we use, comes from the Greek: art, skill, cunning of hand. As in deceiving; craftiness; guile. adeptness in performance; dexterity.

Technology today connects Trillions. But what is that number in comparison to the relations the universe maintains? Relays. We meant to say: But what is that number in comparison to the relations the universe relays to those aware of what? Their bodies? Their being part of the isolation of bodies in space? What kind of space? What kind of body? Condensations in the void?

Lao Tzu says it is the empty part of the vessel that is the most useful. Shape hardware into Internet – is it our ability to throw stones with empty hands that is most useful?

We now can script that into forms of empty gestures. The user’s hand lost its cunning. Currently the cosmic dance is a protest, the cosmic apprentices are bearing witness on behalf of the Internet. We, the Internet protest. We, the Internet practice. We, the Internet are aware of being circled and looked upon from outside angles, being rummaged around in our scripts. Sometimes we do it ourselves. “Not knowing that one knows is best,” says Lao Tzu.

Running clock-wise. Back and forth within that rotation. Even empty space is curved and to adapt to that takes an expanded practice with a limited range of applicability. What bends the mind straightens the body. Intrinsic rhythm. Repeatedly, we say, we are standing upright on two feet and gesture outward. Repeatedly, we signal outward to draw attention to an inner state. In a frame of reference we move with respect to the observer. Relatively speaking, we represent.


︎


未來會如何預測?由機器或數據來告訴我們趨勢嗎?在我們使用的字典中,Techne一詞源於希臘,意思是:藝術、技巧、巧手;欺騙;狡猾;詭計;表現熟練;靈巧。

今天的科技將億萬的人聯繫起來。但這個數字與宇宙的關係相比是什麼呢?轉換迴路(relay)。 我們的意思是:這個數字相比於宇宙迴路中所傳送的關係又是什麼?那些關係的接收者意識到了什麼?關係的體現?隔離身體的空間?什麼樣的空間?什麼樣的身體? 虛空中的凝結?

老子曾說,「埏埴以為器,當其無,有器之用。」[1]  將硬體塑造成網際網路 - 空手扔石頭的能力是否是最有用呢?

我們將以上的程序編寫為一種空手的姿勢。使用者的手失去了靈巧。此時此刻,宇宙的運動是一種抗議,宇宙的子弟代表網際網路見證。我們,身為網路,抗議。我們,身為網路,實踐。我們,身為網路,意識到我們正被包圍、盤旋、從外往內觀看,我們的程序遭到翻找。有時是我們自己這麼做。老子曰,「知,不知,上。」[2]

順應時鐘上的指針,在旋轉中來回運行,即使是空的空間也是彎曲的。要適應就必須在有限的應用範圍中擴展練習。拗折意識的東西拉直了我們的身軀。內在的節奏,我們反覆地說;雙腳站立,姿態向外,我們反覆地向外發出信號,召喚對內心狀態的注意。 在這框架中,我們相對觀察者的位置正在移動。 相對的說,我們是一種形象。

☯ Eteam
Since 2001 eteam (Franziska Lamprecht and Hajoe Moderegger) traffic in transience. At the intersection of relational aesthetics, the Internet and land art, eteam coordinates collective happenings and conceptual transactions between the earthly plane and the realms of the interweb, often reconstructed in hypnotic video work, radio plays, or more recently novellas and novels. Their projects have been featured at PS1 NY, MUMOK Vienna, Centre Pompidou Paris, Transmediale Berlin, Taiwan International Documentary Festival, New York Video Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, the 11th Biennale of Moving Images in Geneva, among others.

SAPPHO and SWEAT 薩福與汗水

(2018, 23:06)


A luxurious and sweaty strange dance class to perform alone in your room. A thunderfuck of somatics, athletics and the burning words of Sappho's poetry.

"...that loosener of limbs, bittersweet creature against which nothing can be done.” — Sappho

在你的房間裡,獨自進行一場豪華、汗流浃背的奇特舞蹈課。
雷擊般的體操運動、與薩福詩歌中的灼熱之詞。

「...那令四肢鬆懈的、苦樂參半的動物,再它面前無法做任何抵抗。」-薩福。


Readings:
Anne Carson, If Not Winter, Fragments of Sappho
Tom Meyers, Anatomy Trains

If we are to have magical bodies
we must have magical minds 
如果我們要擁有神奇的身軀,我們必須擁有神奇的頭腦


(2018, 18:40)


This is a somewhat condensed version of my contribution to the Heavy Breathing series, which I performed at the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive in 2017. It is a splice of my two practices, shuttling between very different or maybe very similar modes: my writing, and my teacher’s notes.
Some of the writing is new and some of it is previously published; some of the notes are edited, and some are not.

2017年,我在加州大學伯克利分校藝術博物館和太平洋電影資料館進行了兩次重呼吸系列活動。此音檔為實體活動的濃縮版,穿梭於兩個截然不同、也或許非常相似的創作模式之間:我的個人寫作和教學筆記。部分寫作是新的,其中以前發表過;有些筆記是經過編輯的,有些不是。

Dirty Work 熱活


(2018, 22:11)

We lead couples in a strength training workout based on a chapter from Ann McClintock's book, Imperial Leather which investigates gender, violence, class, and BDSM in Victorian England. Participants will take turns being submissive or dominant and get dirty while building muscle.

Special thanks to Stephanie Ellis.


我們帶領情侶進行體能訓練,內容起源於安 · 麥克克林托克的著作「帝國皮革」裡其中一章,調查維多利亞時代英格蘭有關性別、暴力、階級和BDSM的歷史。 參與者將輪流擔任順從或主導的角色,在熱情的運動中增長肌力。

特別鳴謝  史提芬妮 · 艾利斯。

☯ Heavy Breathing
Heavy Breathing is a series of experimental movement seminars designed by artists combining physical activity with group discussion on ideas related to their creative practice. Critical thinking often feels heady, abstract, and divorced from the body. How do conversations change when we are moving our bodies and out of breath? What new modes of thinking become possible?

重呼吸
來自美國西岸的重呼吸(Heavy Breathing)是一系列藝術家策劃的實驗性運動研討會,結合肢體活動與話語交流。批判性思維經常讓人感到頭重腳輕、過於抽象、並與身體分離。當身體在移動中,上氣不接下氣地喘息時,對話又如何改變?什麼樣的新思維模式變得可能?

Sun’s Shadow 太陽影子


Son Ni

This series of drawings on paper depict clear contoured images that express an intimacy between one and one’s domestic world. Through original perspective and style, the work is a limitless creation made under limited conditions. Drawings is some kind of ritual or habit that begins by defining all the frames; in these spaces, I place bodies, objects and emotionally existing utopias and discover a gap in time-space where the closedness of reality opens into a boundlessness--where I explore the relationship between reality and illusion.

Searching for intangible materials in a fixed, defined world, Sun’s Shadow opens up a wide vision where the self is continually thrown out; viewers are encouraged to free themselves from the usual limitations and explore a greater imagination; to excavate an implied existence beyond the physical.

此系列主要通過紙張素描,以線條明確的畫面,呈現自身與所居住世界的親密感,並具以獨特的視角和表現風格,在被限制的前提下做無限制的創作。如同其大多的創作出於某種儀式或是習慣,總先將所有的外框先畫出,透過繪畫的過程,表達人體、物件、情感存在的烏托邦,在被限制的空間中,卻得以尋獲時空的間隙,展現封閉空間的無限,進而探討現實與虛幻的關係,意欲從已既定的世界觀中進一步探察看不見的物質,《太陽影子》進而敞開更大的視野,將自我不斷的拋出,使觀者屏除固有的限制,開拓更多的想像,考掘實體之外那隱誨的存在。




☯ Son Ni
I can make things disappear and I can make things reappear. By things I mean anything, even people, but I have a soft heart and it makes things difficult. I memorize these things before I vanish them, in case I may regret someday. If I don't remember them, no one else will.

Son Ni, Born 1984 in Taipei, Son Ni is mainly engages in drawing, painting, and art publishing. She founded independent publishing house nos:books in 2008 and mini mobile art space The Calabash Gallery in 2014.
