一個探索人類感知邊界的展覽

一條非視覺中心亦非科學中心的閱讀路徑

一場打破標準經(jīng)驗才能重新聆聽的旅程

聆聽的反面是無聲嗎？展覽“無聲之后”意在探索尚未被編碼入人類感知語系的萬物，亦就此考察和提問那些逐漸被技術(shù)化和操作化（operational）的有關(guān)環(huán)境的知識。

以媒介化方法和“操作性的本體論”（operational ontologies）展開對于物質(zhì)、生命及地球時間的理解和演繹，既是對人類世生態(tài)危機的回應，也存在于許多當代創(chuàng)作之中。如唐娜·哈拉維所言，一系列生命的擴延顯影技術(shù)（超聲、核磁共振，電子顯微鏡等等）逐漸讓我們所關(guān)注的對象和自然處于客體的位置，讓更多的觀測細節(jié)滲入未知的領(lǐng)域，使其成為可閱讀、理解并利用的對象，并納入到以科學為底色的世界認知體系中。在“無聲之后”的語境里，這種對自然知識的“操作”既包含一套探測、檢驗和處理數(shù)據(jù)和信號的基礎(chǔ)設施，也隱含著一套科學或客觀性驅(qū)動的行為和管理模式。對于規(guī)律、模型乃至預測的迷戀，恰恰忽視了科學感知也是一種集體的經(jīng)驗主義，以及被劃界為“科學”內(nèi)外的知識動態(tài)本身亦是權(quán)力的流動，而非真相的流動。

面對上述境況，展覽以“無聲”為隱喻的起點，試圖通過一系列圍繞聲學、聆聽、或聲音可抵達的環(huán)境和技術(shù)展開的關(guān)鍵詞（靜音、噤聲、無聲物等），來打開一條非視覺中心亦非科學中心的閱讀路徑，投射進以媒介基礎(chǔ)設施為軸線的現(xiàn)代進程與自然的糾葛之中。我們將注意力投向那些非標準化的操作，不可被解碼的信號和游離、逃逸、不被捕捉和鑒定的因子。通過23位/組藝術(shù)家的創(chuàng)作，讓這些拒絕被客體化的環(huán)境知識，無法預測和規(guī)則之外的自然本體發(fā)出聲響，并在聲音的發(fā)出與被采集、聆聽之間的空隙中，推演一種被重新打開的認識路徑。

Is silence the opposite side of being heard? The exhibition “Postscript of Silence” aims to explore aspects of the world that have not yet been coded into the human perceptual lexicon, thereby examining and questioning knowledge pertaining to environments that are increasingly being technologized and operationalized.

Understanding and interpreting matter, life, and geological time through “operational ontologies” and a mediatized approach—as both a response to the anthropocentric ecological crisis and as a thematic element—are present in much of contemporary artistic creation. As Donna Haraway suggests, a range of life-extending imaging technologies (such as ultrasounds, MRIs, and electron microscopes) are gradually placing the objects of our focus and nature itself in the position of the observed. This allows more observational detail to infiltrate previously unknown domains, rendering them readable, understandable, and exploitable, and integrating them into a worldview underpinned by scientific thought. In “Postscript of Silence,” this operationalization of natural knowledge involves not only a foundational infrastructure for probing, verifying, and processing data and signals but also implies a set of actions and management patterns driven by scientific or objective reasoning. The fascination with laws, models, and even predictions often overlooks the fact that scientific perception is also a form of collective empiricism, and that the dynamics of knowledge categorized as “scientific” are flows of power rather than flows of truth.

Confronted with this situation, the exhibition takes silence as its metaphorical point of departure, aiming to carve out an interpretive method that does not center on the visual or scientific by utilizing a series of key terms centered around acoustics, listening, or the reachable environs and technologies of sound (such as muting, silencing, or inaudible entities). This leads us to focus on non-standardized operations, undecodable signals, and fugitive, elusive, uncaptured, or unidentified elements. Through the works or projects of 23 artists or artists groups, the exhibition allows the environments and natural entities that resist objectification and defy prediction and regulation to make their voices heard. In the gaps between sound emission and its capture or listening, the show implies a newly reopened cognitive pathway.
