公共空间互动声音装置
《四边形》是一件由 BY ART MATTERS 之馆委托艺术家王长存完成的互动声音装置作品。该作品位于天目里连接地下楼层和地面广场的四组转换梯中。每日早 8 点至晚 10 点间,这里都将输出根据时间和轿厢内乘客人数变化的音乐; 音乐的形态也将在不同的季节发生转变,为每次乘梯带来不同的体验。
Interactive sound installation in public space
Quadrilateral by artist Wang Changcun is an interactive sound installation commissioned by BY ART MATTERS 之馆. Installed in the four sets of elevators ascending to the ground square of the OōEli campus, the featured music changes from time to time and varies depending on the number of people inside, making each ride in the elevator a unique experience.
音乐受电梯内乘客人数与时间等参数影响,以下是两段不同人数与时间的录音片段:
The music is influenced by parameters such as the number of passengers in the elevator and the time of day. The following are two clips of recordings with different number of passengers and times of day:
上午 8 点,电梯内有 1 位乘客 8AM, 1 passenger:
下午 3 点,电梯内超过 9 位乘客 3PM, over 9 passengers:
存储于 IPFS 网络的网站,NFT
受艺术机构 TCHA 委托,使用 NFT 确权的网站作品《现实真没劲》绘制了一组虚空的肖像,以网站为载体及框架绘制了一系列以百无聊赖的慵懒姿态盯着手机屏幕的人物——就像是你我一样的人物,不断被满溢的信息洗刷着。
这些寻常人物,事实上是由空字符串经过区块链底层加密技术运算得出得唯一哈希值: E3B0C44298FC1C149AFBF4C8996FB92427AE41E4649B934CA495991B7852B855 构成的,并永久存在于网络世界。换句话说,这些面貌清晰、细节丰富的形象是完全无内容的;由更像是文字而不是绘画的笔触描绘的轮廓内,没有可被称作实体、现实、意义或深度的东西。作品使用的 HASH SHA 256bit 算法,被广泛应用于基于区块链技术的新一代点对点超媒体传输协议“星际文件系统”(ipfs),并通过智能合约生成 NFT 得以永久确权,在技术层面充盈,却仅与一个虚空的、无实质内容的人相关联。
艺术家以其惯常的黑色幽默对比了虚空画(vanitas)传统,通过创造处于传统绘画形式及电影/动画之间的万变图像(transients image),以貌似寻常且满溢的画面提示了当代存在的荒诞困境。
website stored in IPFS, NFT
Commissioned by the art institution TCHA, The Internet is so Boring depicts a series of hollowed portraits: on the website that contains the totality of the artwork, one sees a group of human figures in various idle postures fixated upon their smartphones, as time lapses – figures that are just like you and me, constantly washed over by overwhelming information.
Mundane and common from a first glance, the fully outlined figures in fact are composed exclusively of a unique cryptoed, permanent hash that corresponds to empty strings: E3B0C44298FC1C149AFBF4C8996FB92427AE41E4649B934CA495991B7852B855. In other words, the meticulously depicted, fully detailed figures are empty; in the outlines that are textual in nature, there is nothing that can be described as tangible, real, meaningful or dimensional. The work uses the hash sha 256bit algorithm that is common in the peer-to-peer network of ipfs, and is rendered permanent as a generated NFT through a smart contract. It is technologically sufficient, yet is only related to a community that is voided and content-less.
In his usual black humour, Wang revisits the profound tradition of vanitas by suspending the subject-still life status of the human figures; and, by creating"transients images" that operate in the space between painting and film/animation, he overwhelms the "canvas" and direct one's attention to an absurd contemporary situation.

《特纳测试》是通过从约瑟夫·马洛德·威廉·特纳的风景画中采样颜色值生成的双侧对称像素图像。这些画作的图像是从互联网下载的,有些颜色与原作相差甚远。颜色采样过程遵循原始画作的顺序,因此保留了采样画作的颜色过渡。
Pixel Image, 120 x 120cm each
Turner Test is a bilaterally symmetrical pixel image generated by sampling color values from Joseph Mallord William Turner's landscape paintings. The images of these paintings were downloaded from the internet, and some of the colors are quite different from the original. The color sampling process follows the order of the original painting, therefore preserving the color transitions of the sampled painting.
