展覽計畫《躍躍日常》試圖創造出一套搭載附加運動程式和感官單元的新感知處理器，用以面對當代日常生活的各項挑戰。標題指涉一種交互於人類與非人類間的共享抽象感性，以及當代物件、科技與文化之間的關聯與分裂。展覽呈現社會性與物質性聯繫間的多種可能，觀看我們如何既處於個體的動態演變過程之中、並且同時投入作為世界之所以成為世界的其中一項內涵。
棄守原屬於人類與非人類區隔的倫理關係似乎是當今最需要進行反思的重要哲學張力之一。在不斷累積的生態災難、戰爭、遺禍後代的債務危機之中，我們不得不質疑我們眼前所繼承的文化，而隨著科技日益月異的進展，屬於人類的集體焦慮也顯得伺機漫延。諸多人士開始討論與省思後人類和新物質主義的相關思潮，企圖尋找超越人類中心的思維策略，謀求人類原則、本位邏輯和觀點之外的可能性。《躍躍日常》銜續上述針對現代物質條件發展的反省，試圖測繪一種另類的時空狀態，讓我們得以思考和探索，在所有可見與未見事物之間運作新的聯繫。
透過參展藝術家的作品協作出一個對於世界形成世界的擬像演練，展覽組構了許多非平行的感知向度，使得物質、能量與生命之間的各種基本循環要素得以相互通往，再度交會。而這些觀點想法在展場所表現的流動力量和樣態，也將讓觀眾以及展覽中不同的介媒，共同成為此感受性媒體的根本要素，以詩意並充滿想像力的手法，讓日常生活也能輸出為超越性的慶典。
《躍躍日常》由馬尼拉當代藝術設計美術館與台北當代藝術中心共同合作，馬凌畫廊以及國家文化藝術基金會支持。由呂岱如、Joselina Cruz 策劃，參展藝術家包括 Tromarama、周育正、Gary-Ross Pastrana。

The Extra Extra Ordinary proposes a new sensory processor to attend our contemporary everyday life with add-ons movements and sensitivities. The title suggests an abstraction of affects shared among the human and the non-human; their correlation and disjoints as informed by contemporary objects, technology and culture. The exhibition also presents possibilities towards the generation of various sets of social and material connections, finding ourselves simultaneously in the process of becoming and worlding.
The growing tension to unlearn ethics between human and non-human worlds is one of the burning issues of our time. We question the culture we’ve inherited in the face of accumulated ecological catastrophes, of wars and the continuously increasing debts that are passed on to the coming generations. Our anxiety goes even further beyond traditional boundaries with technology invention all the time. Many of us have been addressing ideas of the Post-Human and that of New Materialism as a possibility of finding ways to think beyond human principles, reasons and perspectives. The Extra Extra Ordinary shares such concerns specific to our modern material conditions, and seeks to offer an alternative spacetime for us to exercise and explore how we can relate ourselves among things seen and unseen.
By creating a simulation of such a worlding process with works presented by artists, The Extra Extra Ordinary conceives many unparalleled sensibilities to operate the essence of life in detail, interexchanges and connections among matter, energy and life. With the circulation of these ideas, where agents such as audience become intrinsic parts of the media outputting the extraordinary celebration of every ordinary life takes on a poetic and imaginative turn.
The Extra Extra Ordinary is presented by the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD), Manila and the Taipei Contemporary Art Center (TCAC). The show is generously supported by Edouard Malingue Gallery and the National Culture and Arts Foundation (NCAF).
Curated by Joselina Cruz and Esther Lu, the exhibition will include work by Tromarama, Chou Yu-Cheng and Gary-Ross Pastrana.
