繼 2020 年臺北藝術節委製、入圍台新藝術獎的《日月潭是一個水泥盒》後,藝術組織 lololol 與日本藝術家花形慎(Shin Hanagata)、音樂藝術家王榆鈞組隊推出《玉山是一個處理器》, 透過身體、影像、實驗聲響裝置與歌聲,鑽探山岳之下的情感記憶檔案和科技意識,而沉積在 土地之下的精神能量又如何被解壓縮為今日人與自然的關係,生成為明日的記憶?
《玉山是一個處理器》為臺北表演藝術中心與京都藝術中心(Kyoto Art Center)之國際合作節目。
With the sporadic sounding of mechanical pulsations, you travel through the veins of plants to enter a technocratic city and its memory of the future. Here black water gushes between rock boulders, while a gust of wind stirs up sand and turns the skyscrapers in front of you into blocks of heated gold.

Following "Sun Moon Lake is a Cement Box", a 2020 Taipei Arts Festival commission and shortlisted performance for the Taishin Art Award, lololol teams up with artist Shin Hanagata and musician Wang Yujun to explore emotional memory and technological consciousness through the human body, plants, images, experimental sound and song. What does the spiritual energy stored underneath our land reveal about the relationship between man and nature today, and of the memory tomorrow?

A series of alchemical recipes for attuning that is at the same time mythological, medicinal, and revealing of a cosmological order. To relieve an overflow of shadows in the melancholy lungs, to re-order the emotive in stagnated waters, to keep dexterity and flow and mobility of life. This piece borrows from the spirit of 12th-century Immortal Sister Sun Bu-er infused with Taiwan’s national recommendation of anti-covid herbal tea.

'Sun Moon Lake is a Concrete Box' was developed as a collaboration between Xia Lin, Sheryl Cheung and Liam Morgan.
Commissioned by Taipei Performing Arts Center and presented in Taipei Arts Festival 2020.
來自臺灣的林亭君與加拿大的張欣、利安・摩根 (Liam Morgan),將領著你我走一遭心理、地理與物 理的環境下的冥想移動,觸碰植栽裝置、觸碰聲響、撫摸影像、撫摸光,承接過去幾個月的千秋景況, 《日月潭是一個水泥盒》將延展這個現實,進入一則關於「社交距離」的現世寓言,在地表之外的空間 想像我們的未來。
‘On days that we couldn't go out, I would sit on the floor, looking out the windows. They are rose- coloured from layers of heavy film pressed between layers of thick glass to keep us safe. Any landscape would look romantic through that tint. But our view of the river was blocked by an abandoned waste-treatment plant; my gaze could only trace the curves of rusty steel pipes that carried a river of human faeces from the city to the plant underneath the old public park, where it looped round and round in something like a giant robot’s intestines. But that flow stopped a long time ago...’
Artists Xia Lin (Taiwan) and Sheryl Cheung and Liam Morgan (Canada) take us on a journey that meditates on the natural environs and then a haptic chamber of light-, film-, sonic- and plant- installation. A reflection on days past, a dwelling on the uncertain present, an intimation into a physically-distant yet familiar future.

A collaboration Project with UK based artist George Clark. Special thanks to Animist Apparatus
在這裡,我們遇到了一棵經歷季節性變化的梧桐樹、老舊的手動放映機和播音器、狹窄的石砌隧道中進行集體聆聽、同電影工作者開發武術動作和空間身體圖、以及最後一夜的實驗電影、聲音、肢體表演和遊走。
A four day program of participatory park walks, workshops, and performances in Berwick, UK—on the border of England and Scotland, it was a site connected to borders of existing and non-existing, as Clark put it.
Here we encountered a spotted sycamore tree undergoing seasonal change, an old film projector and collectable sound machines, the resonance of a cobblestone tunnel, machine inspired movements with film professionals, body mapping in a gym-turned gallery space, and a night of experimental film, sound, movement and readings indoors and outdoors on a brilliantly dark night.

A collaboration Project with Bangkok based artist Henry Tan and artist Huang Ding Yun.
The Naga is a mythological creature that governs the waters-moderates the heat and cold in our bodies and the world. A new dam has currentl dried out the rivers of Northern Thailand. By the power of Naga, let us reconsider our relationship with climate change in an exercise of collective temperature modulation in our bodies, our emotions, our minds.

A collaboration with Taichi Master Yan Sheng-Yuan.
Taichi, a seemingly passive but internally vigorous form of martial arts that stresses on flow between mind and body, human and universe. Qi, as an ancient yet highly ambiguous energy that connects all things together, can be perhaps linked to Lebniz's theory of a spirit of matter, a kind of material motivation that generates kinetic loss and gain between interconnected parts of the whole. Through this experiment, we hope to find new meanings of Taoist spiritual practices in contemporary life.
