 展覽名稱 ：《虛擬的現(xiàn)實(shí)身體》 藝術(shù)家：郭楚夕，茅居一，查洛瓦提-瑞恩，赫南丹，普瑞特那-撒，李汶鍇， 開幕時(shí)間：2019年3月20號(hào) 周三晚6:30-10:00 地點(diǎn)：The Living Gallery Outpost, 紐約市， 美國(guó) 變形龍畫廊很榮幸可以呈現(xiàn)這次以虛擬的現(xiàn)實(shí)身體為主題的展覽。在這次展覽中， 藝術(shù)家們用不同的電子媒介，比如虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)與增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí)，來探討外在與主體在形式上，觀念上，以及社會(huì)層面上的關(guān)系。展覽中的作品不僅探討了人類身體與電子媒介的關(guān)系，觀眾還可以實(shí)際體驗(yàn)身體成為虛擬的過程。  我們生活在一個(gè)不斷被更多電子媒體入侵的時(shí)代，我們的身體同樣也不斷地被重新配置。身體被電子媒介的操縱這一話題已經(jīng)有了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的討論。藝術(shù)家茅居一，赫南丹，和李汶鍇通過視頻藝術(shù)的方式，繼續(xù)這一話題的挖掘。在茅居一的“無題”這一作品中，視頻素材被并置與層疊，構(gòu)成了一個(gè)新的講述。而具體的文獻(xiàn)提供了一種對(duì)身體，大眾傳媒，與欲望新的批判角度。赫南丹的作品則是從夸張化人類器官的角度出發(fā)，用來表達(dá)破碎的人的身體。李汶鍇的作品“夢(mèng)境”則是從精神層面來探討人的身體。夢(mèng)的空間對(duì)于李汶鍇來說是和物理空間緊密相連的。 隨著沉浸式媒體的發(fā)展，電子操縱在我們的日常生活變得越來越顯著。在唐元的作品中，觀眾會(huì)坐在一張頭發(fā)組成的椅子上來觀看與頭發(fā)有關(guān)的360視頻內(nèi)容。物理的毛發(fā)和虛擬的毛發(fā)在這個(gè)作品中重合。通過對(duì)毛發(fā)在社會(huì)中約定俗成的禁忌的挖掘，唐元挑戰(zhàn)人們對(duì)虛擬的和物理的女性身體的認(rèn)知。這個(gè)作品更像是一本關(guān)于藝術(shù)家個(gè)人親密體驗(yàn)的日記，而不僅僅只是一個(gè)女權(quán)宣言。普瑞特那則是更加直接地批判科技對(duì)人類的影響。通過運(yùn)用游戲語言，觀眾會(huì)看到一個(gè)個(gè)光怪陸離的虛擬場(chǎng)景。虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)是一個(gè)展示方式，同時(shí)也成為了一個(gè)被批判的靶子。在查洛瓦提的虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)作品“這一次不是一個(gè)地方”中，他從人類感知上來重新挖掘我們多重的感知體驗(yàn)。通過對(duì)虛擬與現(xiàn)實(shí)等多重空間的組合，查洛瓦提在這一新媒體中尋找身體的位置。 虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)有著很強(qiáng)的沖擊感，觀眾在藝術(shù)家建造的虛擬空間中，用他們的身體來感受與測(cè)量空間。虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)在批判新興電子科技對(duì)人類的影響之一話題上，是一個(gè)十分強(qiáng)大的媒介。不同于有著極強(qiáng)沉浸感到虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)作品，郭楚夕的增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí)作品則通過一種極簡(jiǎn)的方式，來探討身體與藝術(shù)品之間的關(guān)系。當(dāng)觀眾靠近虛擬雕塑時(shí)，傳感器會(huì)檢測(cè)到人的身體，并改變虛擬雕塑的狀態(tài)。郭楚夕的作品移除了絢爛的虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)表皮，僅僅留下簡(jiǎn)單的視覺元素，來討論關(guān)系美學(xué)在電子藝術(shù)中的應(yīng)用。 身體一直在被電子媒介不斷地解構(gòu)與重組，而我們很難找到一個(gè)完整的組織。分裂的身體可能在逐漸地被虛擬化，然而我們不可以拋棄物理空間的緊密聯(lián)系。虛擬與現(xiàn)實(shí)的二元對(duì)立在逐漸被消融開來，而身體則處在他們中間。 參展藝術(shù)家作品：  郭楚夕作品 「不可觸碰」 電視，PC電腦，Kinect體感，2016 郭楚夕簡(jiǎn)介 Chuxi Guo (1990), born in Beijing, China.
