ART.ZIP Issue 16

In a sense, the history of humanity is a history of technology. Presumably, early humans had begun to take the path unparalleled by other species the moment they learned to set a bonfire. With the unceasing upgrading of technologies, human life has been transforming all the time.

In the wake of internal combustion engine and nuclear power, digital technology and network communication technology have the most disruptive power in modern times. They fundamentally change the way we relate to life and the world, and consequently has thoroughly altered how we view ourselves as well as the world. The emergence and popularization of new words like computer, mobile phone, Internet, Bitcoin and App not only make our life easier, but also transform everything around us, and art is no exception. In this issue, we bring together the digitalization trend in various art circles, followed by an exploration of how digital revolution plays a role in British art scenes through an investigation into the formulation and presentation of art as well as academic discussions and artists’ arguments about digital art. Hopefully this will reveal an art world of 0s and 1s to you.

人類的發展史某種意義上來說就是一部科技發展史,也許從原始人第一次升起篝火那一刻,便踏上了人之所以為人的與眾不同的發展路徑。伴隨著人類所掌握的科技的不斷升級,人類的生活也在發生著翻天覆地的變化。

在內燃機和核能之後,數字科技和網絡通訊技術的發展是近代最具有顛覆性的科技成果了,它從最深層次改變了我們與生活和世界的關係,人們看待自身和世界的方式也發生了徹底的改變,電腦、手機、互聯網、比特幣、APP等等名詞的出現和普及不僅僅是讓我們的生活變得更加輕鬆便捷,也同時顛覆著我們周遭的一切,藝術當然也不例外。在這期雜誌當中,我們將為大家帶來一系列出現在藝術領域中的“數字化”新動向,從藝術的組織形式、展示方式、學術探討以及藝術家對數碼藝術的爭論中來一窺數字化革命是如何在英國藝術領域中發揮作用的,展現零與一之間的藝術世界。

Beyond Boundaries
牆內,牆外

Art critic, lecturer, curator, chief editor, founder of tomarts.cn, gallerist – for more than a decade, Pi Li has remained extremely active in the world of Chinese contemporary art. In 2012, he was appointed senior curator of M+ Hong Kong, and has ever since become responsible for managing and researching in the formidable collection of Chinese contemporary art of the museum. From a highly educated elite fresh out from the world of the academic, to a gallerist immersed in the tough business, now returning to a position that is museological and institutional, looking after a collection that has recently become public – Pi Li has seen it all. His move from Beijing to Hong Kong might well be simply a personal decision; to the remapping of Chinese contemporary art, however, it is deemed to be the signifier of a new era.

Path to Curating
彳彳亍亍,於策於展

The importance of curation did not come to me at first from a contemporary art exhibition but an exhibition The Silk Road(2004) in British Library. At that time, I was for the first time clearly aware that curation can express substantial information in such a graceful and fantastic manner, and that a curator is able to render such a complex content into a well-organized exhibition language and convey the very idea of exhibition by means of multidimensional and diverse presentations.

In theatre, the development of technology has always inspired artists and realized creative possibilities.

Theatre & the Visual
《戲劇與視覺》

Text by: Li Bowen / 撰文:李博文 “By questioning the primacy of the text, in wordless, visual interruptions, the theatre draws on the legacies of the avant-garde attack on the senses. By bridging the visual and the textual in confrontational ways, theatre perhaps appears more readily as a mode of production that reflects the cultural, political, and
