主题 | 近未来:可能生活

“近未来:可能生活|2020跨媒体艺术节”的主题拟定为“近未来:可能生活”。这是我们以艺术和想象力为方式,主动向未来发出的邀约。

众所周知,2020年初爆发的新冠疫情,叠加到近年来波谲云诡的中美贸易纷争背景之上,不但极大地改变了我们的生活,更几乎使得整个世界在所有领域都空前地呈现出一种非常态的超现实氛围。人们特别是年轻人们内心感受中对于“日常”的稳定感变得可疑,“日常”作为一个问题被凸显,它的稳定和连续似乎不再是天经地义的。因而人们对未来的感觉,对历史的走向,甚至对长期已为习惯、几乎成为意识本能的价值观和世界观基础,都产生了难以把握的困惑,萌生了强烈的不确定感。

不确定和不安全感仍在持续。甚至在相当长时间内,这种感觉所产生的不适或许将成为伴随人们的一种“新常态”。为了因应“新常态”和它所带来的新问题,为了面对时代的特殊挑战并作出积极回应,中国美院跨媒体艺术学院邀请一批著名的中外当代艺术家和年轻的跨媒体艺术学子一起,主动地向未来发出邀约,向不确定提出挑战——通过本届跨媒体艺术节,我们运用想象力、创造力和行动力,以前瞻的视野、以艺术的方法,探索“近未来”视域中人们的“可能生活”。

什么是“近未来”?一般而言,近未来(Near Future)是标定科幻小说题材的一个时间概念,泛指“不久的将来”(以科幻时间维度而言,“现在”之后的一百年左右可理解的人类世界 )。但是在我们这里,“近未来”不是科幻,至少不全是。“近未来”首先是一个历史概念,它向相信时间是一道绵延长河的人展开。它不但居于即将发生的现实之中,还是可以变化、可以改造的现实。因此,对我们而言“近未来”是可操作的对象,是一种实践的方法——我们不但以创作参与现实,并且可以用想象力为现实加多一些东西。通过持续不断地创作和展示的努力,我们相信不但可以参与到塑造未来的实践,并终将能够或多或少地按照我们的意愿和想象,影响即将到来的现实,从而塑造我们的“可能生活”。

“近未来”之所以重要,还在于它不但为我们主动地塑造未来提供了勇气,也为主动地塑造现在和过去打开了可能。我们往往透过研究历史来标定当下,其实,也可以通过探讨未来的诸种可能路径与情势,来定义或规约我们当下的行动。“近未来”的概念给了我们一个视角,让我们可以从空间的角度审视时间。我们甚至可以站在“近未来”的角度,对历史这已成为过去且似乎确定无疑的 “事实”,有一个全新的理解,甚至重塑。一旦以“近未来”的逻辑理解现实,那么过去、现在、未来似乎就共时“平摊”在我们面前了,它们相互影响、干涉、回馈,并彼此塑造。于是我们获得一种识见去打通过去、现在与未来,从而有可能主动、全面地塑造自我以及诸众那看似“命定”的存在纹理。因此,“近未来”是一个积极的观念,同时是一个现实主义的概念。

以“近未来”作为方法论工具,我们通过创作实践积极地设想未来/设计未来,进而创造未来。我们将以艺术创作、学术策划和一系列大型展演活动,与观众和公众进行深度交流与对话,为尚未到来却也即将到来的“可能生活”,注入积极的活力、乐观的希望和无畏的勇气。

The 2020 Intermedia Art Festival is centered on “Near Future: Possible life”. It is a proactive invitation we write and send, with art and imagination, for the future.

As is known to all, the outbreak of COVID19 in early 2020 interwinds with the perplexing and escalating Sino-US trade friction, which, in addition to drastically changing our lives, misleads almost the whole world into an unprecedented, atypical and surreal ambience. The existing perception of us, of youngsters in particular, about “daily life” becomes questionable: “daily life”is spotlighted as a question, while stability and consistency seem to be no longer an unalterable feature of it. Hence, what have been ensnared into bewilderment and intensive uncertainty are our feeling about future, our judgement of historical paths, and even our values and worldviews that we at least have long got used to, if not have almost become our instinct.

The sensation of uncertainty and insecurity lingers on. For the upcoming years, such a discomfort might accompany us like a “New Normal”. In facing the “New Normal” and problems it gives birth to, also as a positive response to the special challenge of our era, the School of Intermedia Art (SIMA) of China Academy of Art invites a wide spectrum of modern artists to join the SIMA students and make the first move to send out an invitation for future and a challenge against uncertainty – through this festival, we utilize imagination, creativity, action, as well as forward-looking vision and artistic approach, to explore people’s Possible Life in the Near Future perspective.

What is Near Future? In general, Near Future refers to a time conception that calibrates science fictions, meaning “not long in the future” (in the framework of sci-fi, it refers to the understandable human world 100 years after “the present”). Here today, however, our Near Future is not about sci-fi, at least not all about sci-fi. Principally, Near Future is a historical conception which unfolds to those who believe time flows endlessly like a long river; it is not just dwelling in the reality that about to happen, but it is also a reality that can change and or be changed. Thus for us Near Future is an operable object and a methodology to practice – we participate in reality through creation, and add up to it through imagination. With constant efforts directed to creation and exhibition, we are confident that we are not just participating in the practice of shaping the future, but we are exerting our influence, more or less, on the present about to come as per our own will and imagination, and eventually outlining our own “Possible Life”.

Furthermore, Near Future is critical because it not just injects courage and drive us to take the initiative to model the future, but also the present and the past. More often than not, we calibrates the present by history study, while actually we may be able to define or stipulate our present behaviors in describing possible future paths and states. Near Future provides us a spatial angle to perceive time. We may even throw a whole new understanding of history, of the seemingly definite “facts” in the past, if not remodeling them. Once we approach the present in the Near Future logic, the past, the present and the future seem to be laying open in front of us synchronically, interwinding, intervening, backfeeding, and mutual-shaping each other. In this way we obtain enlightenment and knowledge to connect the dots of the past, present and future, and thus we might mold the seemingly “destined” pattern of presence of both ourselves and the multitudes, actively and entirely. In a nutshell, Near Future is at the same time a positive concept and a realistic one.

Using Near Future as a methodotic tool, we actively envision/design the future through creative practice, thereby creating the future. A range of artistic creations, curations and large-scale exhibition activities will be threw out for in-depth exchanges and dialogue with the audience and the public, injecting positive vitality, optimistic hope and fearless courage for the yet to come but about to come “Possible Life”.
