《感官大稻埕》
時間：2019.12.13 – 29，12.16週一特別開放，活動場次請見各活動簡介
地點：台北當代藝術中心及其周邊區域
日常經驗由各種感官體驗聚合而成。感官不僅僅是個人身體與外部空間的中介，也可以被視為各種資料轉化成訊息的媒介。在現代性以視覺作為最為優先的感官形式展開後，人類似乎已經忘記聽覺、觸覺、嗅覺是如何相互地與視覺共同作用，語言中對於描述聆聽、碰觸與嗅聞的動詞表更是乏善可陳。《感官大稻埕》系列計畫在台北當代藝術中心（TCAC）落腳大稻埕第四年之際，試圖想像如何用視覺以外感官探索與理解這個區域與社群。透過啟動觀眾的眼耳鼻舌身意，聆聽慈聖宮廟口小吃的氣味，嗅聞按摩坊的故事，或是，扭動肢體重新描繪大稻埕的感官圖景。
🎧🎧 單元一：〈1# 選擇〉，聲線計畫：沈森森、吳其育、致穎
場次：12.13 – 12.22，每日14:00╱16:00，每場最多限五人。
12.24 – 12.29，每日14:00╱15:00，每場最多限五人。
聲音導覽作品《1#選擇》聚焦在語音的技術性應用及歷史文化的交互關聯，探索感知與記憶的形塑程序。在當代社會複雜的建構過程中，言語和聲音的指示功能在群體間扮演重要的政治作用，它常出現於個案間的溝通程序，或是隱沒在視聽媒體中。本作品以語音敘事技術為切入點，深入關注大稻埕地區庶民飲食文化，並嘗試探討聲音敘事與日常美食在資本社會與人類認知發展中所扮演的關鍵性角色。
💆💆♂️ 單元二：〈我行按摩〉，魏欣妍
場次：12.16 – 12.22，每日13:30╱14:30╱15:30╱16:30╱17:30╱18:30，每次限一人。
12.24 – 12.29，採預約制。請寫信至 office@tcac.tw 或以 messenger 預約。
藝術家魏欣妍以業餘按摩工作者將為觀眾服務「我行按摩。」我行一方面諧音五行，也表示藝術家為自己打氣之意。從ASMR（自發性知覺高潮反應英語：Autonomous sensory meridian response，縮寫ASMR）受到啟發，按摩部位皆為一般按摩服務較不著重之處，如梳頭、按摩鼻子、或手等部位。有別於遍佈大稻埕地區的其他按摩坊，藝術家企圖以觸覺、嗅覺、聽覺等刺激，促使參與者對自己不同於視覺的感官有更寬廣的探索。
按摩採交換收費，以一個私密故事換一節（十分鐘）我行按摩。
👯👯♂️單元三：〈未來道〉，林亭君、張欣
場次：12.21 – 12.22，2-6pm，請事先寫信至 office@tcac.tw 或是 FB messenger報名
藝術項目「未來道」2017年於台北當代藝術中心啟動至今，陸續以實驗性的藝術實踐去探問「道」和古今技術的關係和當代想像。此項目最初靈感來自於台灣的公園武術文化，藉每日的太極晨練、社區民眾交流，在台北的公園中觀察古今科技技術共生，傳統道家的養生方法和當代科技生活互相融合。我們開始思考，數位科技時代的養生方式以及都市公共空間中的各種流動。
在這兩天工作坊，我們將回顧過去兩年的創作過程和階段性回顧，並進行三階段的工作坊和表演。
🎭關於藝術家：
《聲線計畫》
由藝術家沈森森、吳其育和致穎主導的《聲線計畫》多方關注聲音與歷史記憶的關聯性，並透過採集、口述、表演等方法探討歷史進程的共時性和多樣的後現代特性。他們的最新計畫始於與臺灣催眠大師徐明老師的訪談，此後開始深入探索語音技術與歷史記憶的感知過程。
魏欣妍
魏欣姸，1986 年出生於臺灣台北。她的創作透過攝影、錄像和行為藝術等媒介探索不同層面的親密感：公眾與私領域、文化和社會及個人與感官之間纖細摸不著邊卻又不可或缺。曾於台北尚畫廊和高雄院子劇場舉行個展，聯展和現場行為展演包含於紐約皇后美術館及皇后區植物園、倫敦 Rich Mix、西雅圖 CoCA 當代藝術中心、芝加哥 EXPO 藝術博覽會、金澤 21 世紀美術館等處。畢業於芝加哥藝術學院主修藝術創作，目前於台北居住與工作。
lololol
「lololol」是循環的笑聲，0與1構成無盡陰陽變化，同時演示電腦語言的基礎脈動。lololol時而喜出望外、暗自竊喜、或喜怒不形於色。lololol 悠遊於虛實之間的地平線上，不受限於制定的文化邏輯或角色扮演，時而發出的滄海一聲笑。

Sensuous Tua-Tiu-Tiann
Time: 2019.12.13 – 22，open on Monday 12.16, detailed schedule could be found in each part
Venue：Taipei Contemporary Art Center and its neighborhood
Different sensations aggregate to become our dailiness. Senses are not only mediation between the physical body and its environment, but also mediums that encode and decode exposed information. When visuality became the dominant sensory faculty with the development of modernity, human beings seemed to forget how senses of hearing, touching and smelling communicate and connect with seeing. Our language consequently lacks the verbs for auditory, tactile and olfactory experiences. To re-enact our sensory experiences, Sensuous Tua-Tiu-Tiann is a series of programs focusing on explore and comprehend this neighborhood through senses except for vision. It is also a celebration of our settlement in the historical area of Taipei for the fourth year. We convivially invite you to creatively portray the landscape of Tua-Tiu-Tiann by different senses, perhaps by listening to the aroma of the street food in front of Cisheng temple, smelling the convoluted stories in the hidden massage parlors, or, moving your body as workout equipment.
🎧🎧 Part 1: 1# To Choose, Sound Route:Shen Sum-Sum, Wu Chi-Yu, Musquiqui Chihying
Schedule: 12.13 – 12.22, Daily 14:00/16:00, Maximum five participants for each session
12.24 – 12.29, Daily 14:00/15:00, Maximum five participants for each session
In the complex construction of contemporary society, the indicative function of language and sound plays an essential role in politics among different communities. The auditory and speaking faculties are commonly seen as a communication tool between individuals and/or embedded in mass media. Sound tour 1# To Choose focuses on the auditory technology and the technology’s relation with culture and history as well as its potential in creating impression and memory. This voice guide work leads the audience to navigate the neighborhood of Tua-Tiu-Tiann through stories of the street food, examining the importance of verbal narrative and street food culture in our recognition capacity in the late-capitalism world.
💆💆♂️ Part 2: Five/Fine Elements Massage, Wei Hsinyen
Schedule：12.16 – 12.22, Daily 13:30/14:30/15:30/16:30/17:30/18:30, one participant at a time.
12.24 – 12.29，by appointment only. Please email to office@tcac.tw or use messenger.
The artist Wei Hsinyen, also as an amateur masseuse, creates five/fine elements massage. Inspired by ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) and wuxing (five elements/phases: wood, fire, earth, metal and water). By focusing on body parts that are rarely massaged, for instance: hands, nose or hair-combing, the artist intends to guide the participants to explore and experience a wider range of sensibility. It is also a nod to many massage parlors in the neighborhood of Tua-Tiu-Tiann.
The payment for these massages is by personal stories only. One story will exchange for a ten-minute massage.
👯👯♂️Part 3: Future Tao, lololol
Schedule: 12.21 – 12.22, 2-6pm, Please sign up in advance via email office@tcac.tw or FB messenger
Art unit lololol’s long term project “Future Tao” is an ongoing development of Taoist-informed practices for mind and body cultivation. Inspired by Taiwanese park culture, we explore a fluid field of new and old cosmologies, their corresponding technologies, and the ontology of public spaces in contemporary times.
The two-day program of Future Tao will include an open discussion and a series of workshops about humans & technological objects, writing as a cosmotechnic, flow and performativity to open different spheres of communication.

lololol
lololol is a boundless laughter, an endless extension of lol (laugh out loud), an acronym that appears to be constructed by the building blocks of I-Ching and/or computer code. lololol is a hearty release amidst interchanging states of existing and non-existing, emptiness and substance, changing conditions of the natural, without resistance or submission to any singular logic or assumption, to respond to the world with an evolving vibration that spreads across the seas.
