声音 ＋ 科学：变形的振动
主讲人：Victoria Vesna
纳（十亿分之一）不仅能使不可视的事物变得可视，还能改变我们陈述“无声”的方式或使无法听到的事物发出声音。借用日新月异的科技与智慧，我们试图停止
交互艺术的躁动，进入到纳的无声空间中，探索持续变化的神奇。
论坛将围绕自然系统中的声振动，同时从隐喻和具体案例层面展开分析，通过“情绪摇摆”，“细胞幽灵”和“蓝色变体” 三个艺术作品在深沉而振动的交互环
境中所试图创造的体验，论证被放大的无法听到的振动是当下媒介艺术研究领域至关重要的主题。
Victoria Vesna, 媒体艺术家，美国加州大学艺术学院设计与媒体艺术系教授，美国加州大学艺术与科学中心及加州数码艺术研究网络负责人，
并同时任教于纽约帕森设计新学院。
Sound + Science: Vibrations of Metamorphosis
By Victoria Vesna
Nano is not only making the invisible visible but also changing our
way of relating to "silence" or making the in-audible audible. With
all the noise of chattering technologies and minds, we propose the
interactivity to be stillness for in this empty space of nano we can
get in touch with the magic of continuous change.
This workshop will center on sound vibrations from natural systems
both metaphoric and actual applied in three artworks that seek to
create an experience though immersive, vibrational interactive
environments: Mood Swings, Cell Ghosts and Blue Morph. Through these
works, I will argue that amplified inaudible vibrations are critical
in media arts explorations.

不确定未来，新媒体艺术·游戏 是一个艺术教育项目，是以研究新媒体艺术在中国的发展为目的而展开的一系列讨论与游戏。项目全年运转，每月一届。
新媒体艺术在90年代随中国艺术家将DV技术融入自己的创作而进入中国，它在中国的发展与其在西方所走过的历程并非完全相符。这个项目意在呈现它作
为“舶来艺术”进入中国后的发展状态，和预测它在未来对中国的社会结构，文化发展甚至人的思维方式将产生的影响与改变。项目从2009年4月至12月以
每月论坛和工作坊(互动游戏)的形式开展。每期论坛和工作坊的主持者来自社会各个领域如当代艺术，音乐，舞蹈，电影，建筑，工程，科学。既有严谨的理论
探讨，也有轻松的互动游戏。策划者希望这个项目能成为所有参与者的实验地，并通过他们与各届论坛主持者的交流使新媒体艺术不确定的未来逐渐清晰。
Uncertain Future, New Media Art Games is an educational art project,
based on a series of discussions and games, which takes the
development of new media art in China as its research target. The
project will last for one year, one edition per month.
New Media Art in China started when Chinese artists incorporated DV
technology into their works. The discipline took a different
evolutionary track from that in the west. The project tries to
present the current research on the discipline and its development
since it was introduced as an “imported art” in China. The guest
speakers will share their insight as to new media art’s future
advancement and influence on Chinese society, culture, and
lifestyle. .
The project encompasses monthly lectures and workshops (interactive
games) to be held between April 2009 through December 2009. Each
lecture and workshop will be presented by guest lecturers from
different fields such as contemporary art, music, dance, architecture,
engineering, science. The project is envisioned as an experimental
field where the audience’s exposure to the lecturers will enable them
to further their own inquiry into the uncertain future of new media
art.
