由國家文化藝術基金會107年視覺藝術策展專案贊助之「數位肉身性」展覽,2021年12月11日至2022年2月13日將於臺灣當代文化實驗場(C-LAB)美援大樓一樓及二樓展出。策展人張懿文以表演評論人及舞蹈學者的多重身分,長期以肉身性( Corporea
lity)、編舞操作(Choreography)、表演性(Performativity)、數位藝術、科技藝術、現場藝術為主題,前往世界各地重要藝術節進行研究,本次展覽以其研究為基礎,提出融合科技藝術觀點的身體美學。
1913年,編舞家尼金斯基(Vaslav Nijinsky)以詭譎的動作、歇斯底里的蹦跳,搭配史特拉汶斯基( Stravinsky)不協調的切分音,編創出俄國神話祭典的儀式場景,這個前衛舞作《春之祭》,在巴黎首演造成轟動,兩派觀眾幾乎大打出手,而其後一百多年來,持續召喚了無數的編舞家為它重新創作。2014年,義大利劇場導演卡士鐵路奇(Romeo Castellucci)編創了「無人版」的《春之祭》,以當代無人工廠作為隱喻,演繹了人的缺席及數位時代對科技身體的思辨。
《春之祭》舞作呈現的「反抗」和「衝突」,成為本展「數位肉身性」的靈感來源。本展覽邀請18組/位藝術家,21件作品,以一百年來不同編舞家的《春之祭》表演錄像為序曲出發,探討數位肉身性的四個面向:「第一章、未來身體批判性」、「第二章、身體「物質性」與他者」、「第三章、交互被動性」、「第四章、人工智慧、大數據與身體」,並以「二十一世紀的AI編舞文件展」系列作為尾聲,演繹了透過AI演算法編舞的新可能,回應序章《春之祭》表演錄像系列,從無人的劇場到人工智慧編舞與鬼魂的連結,探討人類肉身在實體及數位之間的游離狀態,進而重新叩問:科技時代,我們該如何理解並揭示當代的數位身體觀念?
本次展覽委託安娜琪舞蹈劇場及威尼斯雙年展藝術家孫原創作新作,前者將在展覽期間每週末進行現場演出,而後者則由長期支持藝術活動的「上銀科技股份有限公司」出借現地製作所需的機器手臂,由臺灣策展團隊進行作品的遠距製作,也以此回應在疫情當下,無法親臨現場所造成的數位身體狀態。
展覽於2021年12月11日下午4時30分於C-LAB美援大樓旁廣場辦理開幕及演出,12月12日下午1時30分於C-LAB CREATORS空間102 共享吧辦理開幕論壇,歡迎有興趣的民眾至展覽官網「活動」單元報名參加。

“The Rite of Spring” was an iconic work of the avant-garde movement which shocked the dance world in the early 20th century. The piece explored the enigmatic relationship between human and nature, depicting a pagan ritual where a group of elders sitting in a circle commanded a young girl to dance herself to death. “The Rite of Spring” has become one of the most iconic and influential works of dance history. For over a century, countless choreographers have been inspired to recreate their own versions of “The Rite of Spring,” an unfinished journey that has spanned modern humanism’s exploration of the Self, the Others, and the Community over the past hundred years. In 2014, Italian theater director Romeo Castellucci created a “non-human” version of “The Rite of Spring”. Using an automated factory hall absent of dancers as a metaphor, the work shows a future urban scenario with labors operated by machines, similar to present-day Amazon distribution centers, where robots are used to pick up goods and deliveries are carried out by drones. In this human-less performance, the absence of humans creates a unique heterogeneous space. A “state of being” is then prompted by the “that-has-been” of humans, which subsequently opens up thoughts on the technological body in the Digital Age. With “The Rite of Spring” serving as the inspirational prelude of this exhibition, “Digital Corporeality,” different choreographed versions of “The Rite of Spring” are presented to explore the following four themes on digital corporeality: “Chapter One: Future Body through Critical Lens,” “Chapter Two: Corporeality, Materiality, and the Other,” “Chapter Three: Interpassivity,” “Chapter Four: AI, Big Data, and Digital Bodies.” The exhibition concludes with “AI and Future Choreographies in the 21st Century.” From a human-less theatrical piece to linking AI choreography with a ghost, the opening and the finale correspond with each other, suggesting different ways of considering digital corporeality. This exhibition offers a diversified theoretical and inquisitive foundation for the current pervasive experimentation on digital corporeality.
