未來道： Workout #donotsayaction
時間：2019.12.21-22，2-6pm
地點：台北當代藝術中心
暫停“行動”的呼籲意味著暫停對未來的預期。相機無法發出指令，綠色信號與紅色混合在一起，未打散的捲軸從如時鐘般準時的幀幅中釋放的風景一樣散佈開來，從未知中冉冉閃現的潛能就像像霓虹燈照亮的夜市水果攤上的水霧一樣升起。我們如何理解這種情況，當檔案從座位上站起來，伸出膝蓋，在一個戲劇化的轉身後，向自己彎曲，然後開始摺紙？實際上，它一直這樣做，其引擎發出可怕的噪音，干擾其投射內容的體驗。我們如何整體性地閱讀這種情況？在尋找診斷工具的同時抵制語言的簡化性？試著用棍棒和石頭模擬道，然後將其釋放回自然的匿名狀態？您和我，作為旁觀者，作為參與者，作為棲居在同一空間的微型宇宙，如何在稀有煉金通道連結的水平面上相互連結，從而挑戰我們的正常認知光譜？讓擴展的感官作為新型態的集結？作為新模式的溝通？成為不斷爭取即將來臨的自由的新形式？
本工作坊公開招募6位參與者：加入我們，參加為期兩天的實驗，以閱讀，直觀，作曲，聆聽，為“動作”的新基礎設置舞台。在這兩天中，我們將使用新的武術形式，另類的診斷與處方方法，植物學以及電影資料和劇本。邀請參與者分享他們對各種對表演性在各種參與方式中的問題，想法和探索。
藝術計劃lololol的長期項目「未來道」2017年於台北當代藝術中心啟動，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。 「未來道」計劃發展至今，持續以多變的形式階段性發表，包括合作表演、工作坊、漫遊行走、研究與開發、網站作為集體書寫秘笈，參與項目包括《漫遊者藝術節》（2019），世界文化宮，柏林；（2019），《哺挫》，關渡美術館，台北；《雙影 x Future Tao》，貝里克電影與媒體藝術節，英國；曼谷雙年展 (2018)；《未來道練功房》（2018），覓計畫，台北；《未來道人》（2017），台北市立美術館，台北。本工作坊為《感官大稻埕》計畫的第三單元，歡迎寫信至office@tcac.tw 報名。
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。
*《感官大稻埕》獲台北市文化局補助。

Future Tao: Workout #donotsayaction
Time: Dec 21-22 2-6pm
Venue: Taipei Contemporary Art Center
To suspend the call for “Action” means to pause the anticipation of Futures. The camera does not command, green signals mixed with red, an unraveled reel spreads out like landscape released from the clocking of frames, and potentials rise from the unknown like heavy mist from a neon-lit night market fruit stand. How do we understand this situation in which the archive gets up from its seat, stretches its knees, and in a dramatic turn, bends towards itself and starts folding origami? As a matter of fact, it has always done so, with its engine making terrible noise that disrupts the experience of its projected contents. How do we read this situation in totality? In search of tools for diagnosis while resisting the reductive gravity of language? Tying the animated Tao with sticks and stones, then releasing it back to natural state of anonymity? How do you and I, as spectators, as engagers, as micro-universes inhabiting the same space relate on a level of rare alchemic channels of connection that challenge our normal cognitive spectrum? What about expanded senses as a means to new modes of assembly? Of communication? Of a continual striving for the freedom to become?
Open call for 6 participants: join us in two days of experimentations in reading, intuiting, composing, listening, setting stage for a new basis for “Action.” In these two days, we will work with new martial art forms, alternative diagnostic and prescriptive methods, botanical studies and cinematic material and scripts. Participants are also invited to share their questions, ideas and explorations of performativity for any form of engagement.
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. Since its inception in 2017, the project has taken on many forms, including collaborative performances, workshops, guided walks, research and development sessions, and a website as online scripture, including “Future Tao: City Park” (2019) at Flaneur Festival, HKW, Berlin; “Future Tao” (2019) at Kuandu Museum fo Fine Arts, Taipei; “Double Ghosts x lololol” at Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival, UK; “Future Tao: Online Scripture” (2018) at Bangkok Biennial, “Future Tao” (2017) at Taipei Fine Art Museum. Future Tao: Workout #donotsayaction is the third part of Sensuous Tua-Tiu-Tiann.
Presented by 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.

Sheryl works between experimental music, abstract scoring and writing to explore a materialist understanding of power, emotion and moral order. Her recent research focuses on sound and medicine through the perspective of Chinese ontology. Sheryl has held supported residencies, workshops and research projects in China, UK, Thailand, Korea and Taiwan.

Xin Yi Quan is a form of internal martial arts and is based on capturing the essence of animal behavioral ecology. Through informed movements, the exercise fosters deeper understanding of familiar technological gadgets that are an intimate part of our daily lives.
