The exhibition titled “Earth Heat Flow,” based on the unique winter heating in Beijing, attempts to discuss how to understand the technological culture and ecological status quo through the lens of thermal media and invites visitors to take a journey on “melting” from the perspective of dynamic “heat flow.” During the journey, imaginary creatures with heat-synesthesia will experience the daily temperature that human beings are accustomed to, track how heat exists as a foreshadowing of the contemporary scientific and technological system, and speculate on notions of entropy and time - both closely related to “heat.” Each work is included into the “melting” narrative, which may change the object’s shape or reveal hidden things. Melting may be violent or silent, like technology, which is both a dynamic plastic force and a revealing force. <img width="7782" height="5190" width_o="7782" height_o="5190" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2d7b142f2b504ab322c2128af7c8c76cee24206b24d9a148c543d9556a9bfbd6/BAB-17.jpg" data-mid="202669151" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2d7b142f2b504ab322c2128af7c8c76cee24206b24d9a148c543d9556a9bfbd6/BAB-17.jpg" /> <img width="7609" height="5075" width_o="7609" height_o="5075" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fb2e287e6bbcb2f4235d6d3c6c4522d0a838d54bc84a422a4622d9c728bfa3a7/BAB-37.jpg" data-mid="202669153" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fb2e287e6bbcb2f4235d6d3c6c4522d0a838d54bc84a422a4622d9c728bfa3a7/BAB-37.jpg" /> <img width="7745" height="5167" width_o="7745" height_o="5167" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/96adfe0f1b92a829f1f39060cfc9e866ef6efa3357c2c35254d6c7db5eff7e70/BAB-32.jpg" data-mid="202669155" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/96adfe0f1b92a829f1f39060cfc9e866ef6efa3357c2c35254d6c7db5eff7e70/BAB-32.jpg" /> <img width="5712" height="3368" width_o="5712" height_o="3368" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7e56d4cc83f931511304e138e108e1323a2a74ee44235a18343248fc24311079/BAB-56.JPG" data-mid="202669162" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7e56d4cc83f931511304e138e108e1323a2a74ee44235a18343248fc24311079/BAB-56.JPG" /> <img width="7718" height="5149" width_o="7718" height_o="5149" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/308b7a8553c4d837cdccd629978069f541849ba6ca0bc1a778cd487d9cff24de/BAB-44.jpg" data-mid="202669161" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/308b7a8553c4d837cdccd629978069f541849ba6ca0bc1a778cd487d9cff24de/BAB-44.jpg" /> <img width="7493" height="4998" width_o="7493" height_o="4998" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/29940481ad3ffc1839cf6bc9ebfd601eccc8056d11e3f7c074bf2fb44eab0bb3/BAB-33.jpg" data-mid="202669159" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/29940481ad3ffc1839cf6bc9ebfd601eccc8056d11e3f7c074bf2fb44eab0bb3/BAB-33.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="1915" width_o="3000" height_o="1915" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dfdcfff2d2d88b827306e44eb4d94d7a443e75bf43053c29f4631954e20e5d3f/BAB-61.jpg" data-mid="202669160" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dfdcfff2d2d88b827306e44eb4d94d7a443e75bf43053c29f4631954e20e5d3f/BAB-61.jpg" /> <img width="7952" height="5304" width_o="7952" height_o="5304" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3df4e895eee6d23ab2aabda7995635bbaa926856039c0181d9ce7fccc48a6f29/BAB-53.jpg" data-mid="202669157" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3df4e895eee6d23ab2aabda7995635bbaa926856039c0181d9ce7fccc48a6f29/BAB-53.jpg" /> <img width="7806" height="5207" width_o="7806" height_o="5207" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bdb9975099d735ab3746298e423f33890262c8bb4968ef7852c6b00a95e8d831/BAB-40.jpg" data-mid="202669158" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bdb9975099d735ab3746298e423f33890262c8bb4968ef7852c6b00a95e8d831/BAB-40.jpg" /> <img width="7555" height="5053" width_o="7555" height_o="5053" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f25f5e1a9c9b9dcc20cff727e4927e1d46a602b4bc93ceb518e48c286bfdf911/BAB-8.jpg" data-mid="202669163" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f25f5e1a9c9b9dcc20cff727e4927e1d46a602b4bc93ceb518e48c286bfdf911/BAB-8.jpg" /> <img width="7474" height="4985" width_o="7474" height_o="4985" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d7122dc1202eb87f8f25e137f947987cb5ee31bd7aa635c17da4075a31f7c52e/BAB-23.jpg" data-mid="202669156" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d7122dc1202eb87f8f25e137f947987cb5ee31bd7aa635c17da4075a31f7c52e/BAB-23.jpg" /> <img width="7634" height="5093" width_o="7634" height_o="5093" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/faf0afbb251f95ded1e4b3cebbe0de2431f55f648e96b039adce213de2677344/BAB-34.jpg" data-mid="202669154" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/faf0afbb251f95ded1e4b3cebbe0de2431f55f648e96b039adce213de2677344/BAB-34.jpg" /> The privileged sunshine in winter of Beijing will be splashed on the “hotter” side of the exhibition hall. The works here discuss how our digital infrastructure (data centers, network switches, and optical fibers) constantly absorb the planet’s energy and build a stable thermal environment. Being Radiotropic describes our dependence on electromagnetic signals with life entities’ reaction to solar radiation. The Copper Tree reminds us how the copper element that supports optical cables and wires is generated from the earth’s veins. Porosity Valley imagines how a living element travels as half a mineral entity and half a digital bit. While Analog Sun Tracking replaces the heated sun in the human visual spectrum with black holes; Saros implies the fatal relationship between the solar flare explosion and the electronic system with a ridiculous fable. Captured Nature reminds us how the man-made “cold/hot” system continuously supports a more moderate and pleasant living environment. However, these control technologies are also involved in the planet’s natural cold and heat flow for water and wind. Even ocean currents are cooling the roaring machine room, and the neon on which the lithography machine depends also relies on the low-temperature distillation of air by the separation equipment (Do not dwell on that hazy glow). This inlaid relationship of energy, suggesting the fragile and dark side of the man-made technological environment, leads us to the deeper and colder side of the exhibition hall, where the stable environment we created by regulating temperature and heat energy is disturbed and reversed. Life from remote underground servers penetrates people’s skin via liquid (Aquaphobia). Three groups of works related to glaciers depict the history of energy exploitation, cold war facilities, and ancient microorganisms solidified by ice. When that computer-rendered iceberg collapsed in silence like Greenland Fjord (Melting into Time), or the fireworks in the computer quietly bloomed (Fireworks Universe), we seem to feel that the earth naturally contains the potential energy of entropy increases and the desire for reversing entropy, as well as the tension between the two. As Endangered Herbarium tries to store plants’ life, this storage’s effectiveness goes with the sun’s rhythm. In the chaotic zone before the artificial light sources light up (891 Dusks: An Encyclopedia of Psychological Experiences) and after the natural light sources dissipate, when all the machine-generated words become fuzzy lumps with the thermal paper exposed to the air (A Sigh), people stand in the heat flow of the earth again to understand everything carried by our technology and ecosystem and the epoch witnessed by the vertical space between the solar radiation and the thermal structure of the lithosphere, or, the geographical territory between the polar frozen soil and the equatorial sunshine. 展览“大地热流”从北京特有的冬季供暖地貌出发，尝试讨论热量媒介如何成为我们理解技术文化和生态现状的视角，并通过动态“热流”的视角，邀请你共同展开一次关于融化的旅行。在旅程中，想象中的热联觉生物将同你们一起感受温度，追踪热量如何作为当代科技系统的伏笔而存在，并推想与“热”息息相关的熵与时间。每件作品都被纳入关于“融化”的叙事，“融化”可能改变对象的形态，或者让隐藏之物显现。可能剧烈，也可能寂静，正如技术本身同时作为一种动态的形塑性力量和揭示性力量而存在。 北京得天独厚的冬季暖阳会挥洒入在展厅更“热”的一侧，这里的作品探讨着我们的数字基础设施（数据中心、网络交换、光纤）如何无时无刻不在汲取星球能量，并构筑趋于稳定的热量环境。《辐射生物》用生命体对太阳辐射的反应来比喻我们对于电磁信号的依赖，《铜树》提醒着我们支撑光缆和导线的铜元素如何从地脉生出，《多孔性溪谷》甚至想象了一种一半是矿物实体，一半是数字比特的活元素如何游走。当《追踪模拟太阳》用黑色空洞来替换人类视觉光谱中炙热的太阳时，《永恒的一日》却用一则荒诞不经的寓言暗示太阳耀斑爆发与电子系统之间致命性的关系。 《被捕获的自然》提示我们人造的“冷/热”系统如何持续创造着一种更为温和与宜人的生活环境，然而，这些调控技术也裹挟在这颗行星天然的冷热流动中——水、风甚至洋流都在冷却着轰隆作响的机房，光刻机依赖的氖也依靠分离设备对空气的低温蒸馏(《不要爱恋那氤氲的辉光》)。这种能量的镶嵌关系，暗示着人造技术环境脆弱的阴面，也引我们通向展厅更幽深寒冷的一侧。在这一侧，我们通过调控温度和热能所创造的稳定环境开始被扰动与扭转。远程地下服务器滋生的生命通过液体进入人们的皮肤(《恐水症》)，三组与冰川相关的作品（《向冰学习》、《冰的背面》、《冰虫计划》）则描摹了冰层所凝固的关于能源开采、冷战设施和远古微生物的历史。 当那座计算机渲染的冰山同格林兰峡湾一般寂静坍塌（《熔于时间》），抑或计算机里的烟花无声散放（《烟花宇宙》），我们似乎感知到大地天然蕴藏着熵增的势能和逆熵的渴望，以及二者之间的张力，正如《濒危植物标本库》试图存储植物的生命，这种存储的有效性却依赖太阳的节律。在自然光源退散后，人造光源亮起前（《关于 891 次黄昏心灵活动的百科全书》）的混沌地带，在所有机器生成的文字随着热敏纸暴露在空气而成为模糊团块的瞬间（《一声叹息》），人们重新站在大地的热流之中，透过它去理解太阳辐射与岩石圈热结构之间的垂直空间里，极地冻土与赤道艳阳之间的地理疆域内，我们的技术和生态系统中所承载的万象，及其所见证的年岁。 https://earth-heat.cloud/Everything-Begins-to-Melt Wed, 24 Jan 2024 10:20:35 +0000 Earth Heat Flow https://earth-heat.cloud/Everything-Begins-to-Melt Everything Begins to Melt Here... Please follow me, visitors from the gentle world, you are bathing in the sun in the warm winter of Beijing. The so-called “cosmic microwave background radiation” is the thin air with hazy glow here. Yes, we are “thermal” animals, just like the fact that you are visual animals. For us, “heat” cannot be naturally divided. It always disperses, germinates, entangles itself, and travels at will, and you seem to have the ability to decompose, transport, cut off, transmit and even purify it. Freon keeps your skin dense and even in summer. You create pure heat blocks with clear geometric edges and name them “microwave oven” and “skating rink.” The heat crawls along the electric tower, optical fiber, and power grid section by section, outlining the ambiguous universe in our eyes, rising one after another. You have even constructed a profound tone that we rarely see. It is on a square called a quantum computer in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena (to quote your description of “heat”). It operates below 15 degrees Kelvin, “colder” than outer space. As for the high-energy sustained pulse in Joint European Torus near Oxford, UK, in our eyes, it can almost rival the roar of the sun. There are many pieces of material evidence about your gentle world that we have collected: red glowing tubes, orange light films, instruments for tracking the sun’s path, and devices for detecting electromagnetic landscapes. Visitors from the gentle world, you do not always agree with each other: some of you are obsessed with domiciling heat, while others are interested in the hidden, escaping, and discrete heat and are even able to smell the red backbite bred by the chaotic mother earth. Even if it is not as extreme as the UV disaster imagined by Ellen Feist, it does make the glacier retreat and the sea rise. Please make a turn here, visitors from the gentle world. Although you are outstanding heat managers, unlike us, who cannot isolate the “heat” feeling for the existence of heat synesthesia, at least at some moments, we can understand each other’s feelings. In 1859, the solar storm nearly destroyed the telegraph system that was taking shape back then. Many of you, like us, witnessed the strange flash in the polar sky. You, smart people, have realized that the answer to “heat” is sometimes buried in ice. Scientists among you are chasing the history of these solar storms from the nitrogen oxides deposited in the thin layer of ice core rich in nitrate. Data and genes of everything are right there in Svalbard Archipelago in the polar circle, with more probes stretching to coal and oil under the ice cover. You will tactfully describe the answer as the politics of energy, climate, and technology. The cycle of heat and cold entangles solar radiation, polar permafrost, and lithosphere. Narrow roads sometimes emerge in the area where the glaciers are fading. You are driving to the past when you drive here and track the irretrievable edge of the ice. Presumably, you also find that this is a place where some entropy chaos were accidentally sealed. In a sense, we are you in the past or the remote future. To us, the appearance of iron does not mean the death of stars. Entropy is no longer a secret. Neither is the end of life a sigh. We never read the fluctuation of mercury in the scale or managed to tame the heat in a room of several square feet. We never built a heating network covering the city or a machine eye to detect the temperature of everything, but we grasped the existence of “heat” on a larger scale. “Heat” is in our eyes and bodies, surging at its will like hurricanes and eddies connecting the core of the earth and the sun or continuous fog under the ice field. In fact, the combination of hot sun and dark and cold sky leads to the existence of low entropy. The world is never really gentle. Now, I'm going back to the solar time. I hope you will enjoy your stay here, visitors from the gentle world. 请同我来，来自温和世界的访客，你沐浴在北京的冬日暖阳里。 那被你们称为“宇宙微波背景辐射”的东西，在我们这里是闪烁着氤氲微光的稀薄空气，没错，我们是“热觉”动物，就像你们是视觉动物一样。对我们来说，“热”天然无法被切分，它永远弥散，萌生，缠绕自身，随性游走，而你们似乎拥有分解，运送，截断，传导乃至提纯它的能力。 氟利昂让你们的皮肤在夏天总是保持致密均匀的色调，你们制造出有清晰几何边缘的纯粹热量块，给它们起名微波炉和滑冰场。热沿着电塔、光纤和电网逐节爬动，让我们眼里的暧昧宇宙长出此起彼伏的轮廓线。你们甚至构造了我们极少见的深邃影调，那是在帕萨迪纳的喷气推进实验室里，被称为量子计算机的方块上——引用你们对“热”的描述，它在15度开尔文以下运转，这可比外层空间还“冷”。至于在英国牛津附近的欧洲联合环发生的那次高能持续脉冲，在我们看来，简直差点赶上太阳的嘶吼。 这里有许多我们搜集来的，关于温和世界的物证：发出赤色辉光的电子管、橙色的光膜，还有追踪太阳轨迹的仪器和探测电磁景观的装置。温和世界访客们，你们似乎也并不总是意见一致：你们中的一些人痴迷于驯化热，而另一些似乎更感兴趣那些隐蔽、逃逸、离散的热，甚至嗅到了混沌的大地母体正在孕育的赤红反噬——它纵然不会像埃伦菲斯特想象的紫外灾难那么极端，但诚然会让冰川隐退，海面升起。 请在这里转弯，来自温和世界的访客。虽然你们是出类拔萃的热管理者，而我们因为热联觉的存在无法把“热”感孤立出来，但至少在某些瞬间，我们可以理解彼此的感受。1859年，太阳风暴近乎摧毁了当时刚刚形成的电报系统，你们中的不少人，同我们一样看见了极圈天空中奇谲的闪光。聪明的你们已经意识到，“热”的答案有时掩埋在冰里，你们中的科学家正从富含硝酸盐的薄层冰芯里所沉积的氮氧化物中，追捕这些太阳风暴的历史，极圈里的斯瓦尔巴岛收留了数据和万物基因，还有更多的探针，正在伸向冰盖之下的煤和石油。你们会拗口地将这答案描述为关于能源、气候和技术的政治，热与冷的循环把太阳辐射、极地冻土和岩石圈纠缠在一起。在冰川褪去的地带，有时会浮现出狭窄的道路，当你们驾驶在这里，追踪着不复可见的冰缘时，便是在驶向过去。 想必你也发现了，这里是不小心被封存的一段熵值混乱的时空。我们某种意义上是过去的你们，或者极远未来的你们，对我们来说，铁元素的出现并不意味着恒星的死亡，熵不再是秘密，生命尽头也未必是一声叹息。我们从来不阅读量表里水银的涨落，也无法将热驯服在几尺见方的房间，我们不曾造出覆盖城市的供暖网络，或是检测万物温度的机器眼睛，但我们在更大的尺度上把握着“热”的存在。 “热”在我们的眼里和身里，仍然自由翻涌，如连通地核与太阳的飓风与漩涡，抑或冰原之下连绵的雾霭。其实，是炽热太阳与暗冷天空的结合，才导致了低熵的存在，世界从未真正温和。 现在，我要回到太阳的时间里去了，希望你们在这里停留得愉快，来自温和世界的访客。&nbsp; https://earth-heat.cloud/Tega-Brain Wed, 24 Jan 2024 10:20:35 +0000 Earth Heat Flow https://earth-heat.cloud/Tega-Brain Being Radiotropic 辐射生物 <img width="5472" height="3648" width_o="5472" height_o="3648" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b2c03bb9db06d1104b59ef94f27d90180044f419c279a66d39a98caa79367e47/BAB-2.jpg" data-mid="202669183" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b2c03bb9db06d1104b59ef94f27d90180044f419c279a66d39a98caa79367e47/BAB-2.jpg" /> <img width="5472" height="3648" width_o="5472" height_o="3648" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0352477834da7d033ca0af6399ae761995a3a073b12e6459864bd3fdabdf3406/BAB-4.jpg" data-mid="202669184" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0352477834da7d033ca0af6399ae761995a3a073b12e6459864bd3fdabdf3406/BAB-4.jpg" /> Tega Brain,Being Radiotropic,2016,concrete,wood,custom electronics,candle,spathiphyllum,500x150cm,image courtesy of the artist 泰加·布雷恩，辐射生物，2016年，混凝土，木头，定制电子元件，蜡烛，白鹤芋，500x150cm，图片版权归属艺术家 We are radiotropes. Just as other lifeforms orientate themselves in response to the sun's radiation, many contemporary human behaviours are shaped by electromagnetic landscapes and signal topographies. We prepare for the quiet zone of the subway and notice how data speeds vary as we move between networks and across geographies. Being Radiotropic is a series of eccentric wireless routers that explore this sensitivity and that asks how we might otherwise design our wireless infrastructures. Each router provides an open wireless network that misbehaves and functions in unexpected and eccentric ways. Could our radiotropism be leveraged to attune us to ways of other lifeforms and planetary forces? 我们是辐射性动物。就像其他生命体对太阳辐射的反应一样，许多当代人类的行为都是由电磁景观和信号地形塑造的。我们为地铁的安静区域做准备，并注意到当我们在网络和跨地域之间移动时，数据速度是如何变化的。作品通过一系列古怪的无线路由器，来探索这种对信号和数据的敏感性，并询问我们如何设计我们的无线基础设施。每个路由器都提供了一个开放的无线网络，它的行为和功能都是出乎意料和古怪的。我们是否会通过这种“辐射倾向性”来和其他生命形式和行星力量之间的进行调和？ <img width="5712" height="3368" width_o="5712" height_o="3368" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7e56d4cc83f931511304e138e108e1323a2a74ee44235a18343248fc24311079/BAB-56.JPG" data-mid="202669185" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7e56d4cc83f931511304e138e108e1323a2a74ee44235a18343248fc24311079/BAB-56.JPG" /> <img width="7778" height="5188" width_o="7778" height_o="5188" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/17f01ce23cf201c5eb32b92b290daaa7df830fb05a2d69d73efee1310724a99b/BAB-24.jpg" data-mid="202669186" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/17f01ce23cf201c5eb32b92b290daaa7df830fb05a2d69d73efee1310724a99b/BAB-24.jpg" /> <img width="7836" height="5226" width_o="7836" height_o="5226" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c2f62e97e76b6a0f784805997596511ed9bc837a19d9710cc4cc7da52e8dced4/BAB-26.jpg" data-mid="202669188" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c2f62e97e76b6a0f784805997596511ed9bc837a19d9710cc4cc7da52e8dced4/BAB-26.jpg" /> <img width="7712" height="5143" width_o="7712" height_o="5143" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0a065d5908bdad1eb011c78c5d315295d1001845a52f33a55ad45d60a8e97617/BAB-25.jpg" data-mid="202669187" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0a065d5908bdad1eb011c78c5d315295d1001845a52f33a55ad45d60a8e97617/BAB-25.jpg" /> https://earth-heat.cloud/CHEN-Xin-ZHANG-Wenxin Wed, 24 Jan 2024 10:20:36 +0000 Earth Heat Flow https://earth-heat.cloud/CHEN-Xin-ZHANG-Wenxin Do not dwell on that hazy glow 不要爱恋那氤氲的辉光 <img width="5861" height="3290" width_o="5861" height_o="3290" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/44729d75c249747b718a7c48134ec67a258f0965f85828af8b0d0d3030f6c804/WechatIMG38.jpeg" data-mid="202669195" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/44729d75c249747b718a7c48134ec67a258f0965f85828af8b0d0d3030f6c804/WechatIMG38.jpeg" /> <img width="5571" height="3250" width_o="5571" height_o="3250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2c30236deedfc94d48020f9a34757f986b7ac4a74247f5a828366c0e96715566/WechatIMG36.jpeg" data-mid="202669193" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2c30236deedfc94d48020f9a34757f986b7ac4a74247f5a828366c0e96715566/WechatIMG36.jpeg" /> <img width="3368" height="5522" width_o="3368" height_o="5522" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/723537020619be8969da0919ca997d6ac0cdff3980e60e5c935ff849216a1ad6/WechatIMG37.jpeg" data-mid="202669194" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/723537020619be8969da0919ca997d6ac0cdff3980e60e5c935ff849216a1ad6/WechatIMG37.jpeg" /> <img width="7514" height="5041" width_o="7514" height_o="5041" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fb1c90ca5ede39f1c24d3fb6630eeebbea519a6c0b165f14a7d9a7214147f326/BAB-9.jpg" data-mid="202669197" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fb1c90ca5ede39f1c24d3fb6630eeebbea519a6c0b165f14a7d9a7214147f326/BAB-9.jpg" /> <img width="7555" height="5053" width_o="7555" height_o="5053" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f25f5e1a9c9b9dcc20cff727e4927e1d46a602b4bc93ceb518e48c286bfdf911/BAB-8.jpg" data-mid="202669196" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f25f5e1a9c9b9dcc20cff727e4927e1d46a602b4bc93ceb518e48c286bfdf911/BAB-8.jpg" /> CHEN Xin&amp;ZHANG Wenxin,Do not dwell on that hazy glow,2022,hanging light,neon tube,stereo,projector,film,dimension variable,image courtesy of the artist 陈欣&amp;张文心，不要爱恋那氤氲的辉光，2022年，吊灯，氖气电子管，音响，投影仪，胶片，尺寸可变，图片版权归属艺术家 In the gray room, an old slide projector is automatically playing some blurred images of photographs that gradually form a channel in time. Continuing inside, in the dark room, an electronic tube chandelier modeled after the chandeliers in Eastern European subway stations emits a ruddy glow, like the color of a film darkroom. Only this light keeps flickering like breathing, a current that is passing through the neon gas inside the glass tube, which then expands into a warm sound through the acoustics. Neon comes from the sizzling past of the cosmic nucleosynthesis period, and after a long journey through time, it has been separated and lit up by man from the extremely cold liquid air. Since 1898, from neon lights to particle detection "bubble chambers" to lithography machines, neon has been quietly participating in human history, just as it breathes in and out of our bodies uninterruptedly. Do not Dwell on that Hazy Glow is about the technological, aesthetic and ideological "etching" of neon gas in the form of light, and combines texts on gas and light from ancient scriptures to lead people into a thought about gas.

Tabulated as an index, this book categorizes and conceptualizes the “disquiet” through hundreds of psycho-poetic entries. Adapted from the pseudo-scientific publication, “New Comprehensive Homoeopathic Materia Medica of the Mind", these encyclopedic entries list the “symptoms” from the 891 transient experiences of dusk. Each entry embodies the ephemerality of such experience as well as the ineffable nature of its narrative. In adopting the pseudo-scientific approach to archive literary experience, an unknown lyrical form takes shape, for its semantics become a probe for ambiguity. This encyclopedic presentation is accompanied by a group of text panels documenting the artist's modifications of the original text, and a recording of the selected entries read in English and Chinese along with meditative music. “向晚意不适”是一类在医学上无从确诊、却广泛存在的症状。当问题的对象本身难辨真假时，提问的方式或许可以真假难辨。改编自伪科学出版物《关于心灵的顺势疗法药物学》，作品以百科全书的索引格式罗列出891次度过黄昏的“症状清单”。黄昏经验本身的易变，以及人们在复述时往往会遭遇的混沌，在原书词条的编集方式中得到了同构的体现。当我们用貌似科学的文法，来收藏并定位一系列近乎文学的体验时，某种未曾造访的诗意正在成形，而这场诗意的阅读本身已是问题的答案。 百科全书的展示同时伴随一组文稿（书的阅读与改编说明）与一段音频（书的选段朗诵）。 https://earth-heat.cloud/Fragmentin Wed, 24 Jan 2024 10:20:38 +0000 Earth Heat Flow https://earth-heat.cloud/Fragmentin Endangered Herbarium 濒危植物标本集 <img width="3000" height="1915" width_o="3000" height_o="1915" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dfdcfff2d2d88b827306e44eb4d94d7a443e75bf43053c29f4631954e20e5d3f/BAB-61.jpg" data-mid="202669227" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dfdcfff2d2d88b827306e44eb4d94d7a443e75bf43053c29f4631954e20e5d3f/BAB-61.jpg" /> <img width="5472" height="3648" width_o="5472" height_o="3648" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9d2fa71e67a51720a2f8695f143f1964248fb980ae005f8d8bd2def91f957cb8/BAB-5.jpg" data-mid="202669226" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9d2fa71e67a51720a2f8695f143f1964248fb980ae005f8d8bd2def91f957cb8/BAB-5.jpg" /> <img width="7952" height="5304" width_o="7952" height_o="5304" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/15c9693b62dc016957456feeaac4e1fdade5663f2e1924fd2d7653c9717bc4a4/BAB-22.jpg" data-mid="202669228" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/15c9693b62dc016957456feeaac4e1fdade5663f2e1924fd2d7653c9717bc4a4/BAB-22.jpg" /> Fragmentin,Endangered herbarium,2022,acrylique,wire,aluminium clamps,21x27x1.5cm,image courtesy of Fragmentin“碎片网络”小组，濒危植物标本集，2022年，电线，铝夹，21x27x1.5cm，图片版权归属Fragmentin "Endangered herbarium" is an artwork that highlights local endangered plants and speculates on the future of archiving.For his first exhibition at Art Biesenthal in Berlin this summer, this poetic piece will take the form of a triptych of transparent blue Plexiglass sheets. Three SD card shaped panels with slight undulations on their surface - reveal and project onto a plane - thanks to the sunlight that passes through them - silhouettes of plants composed of light and shadow. Each pane of glass contains an image of a type of local endangered plant that may eventually disappear due to global warming or the destruction of natural habitats. Letters are also engraved on the plexiglass, corresponding to the Latin name of each plant. The three featured plants are a "Apium nodiflorum", a "highly endangered" species, a "Papaver occidentale", a type of poppy that is "threatened" and a "Dryopteris cristata", a plant considered "vulnerable" by the red list of endangered plants.The blue colour of the projected shadow echoes a cyanotype effect (the first negative monochrome photographic process of 1842 by which a Prussian blue photographic print is obtained, the first cyanotype was the image of a herbarium composed of seaweed by Anna Atkins). This "herbarium in danger" has the particularity of evolving during the day according to the position and the light intensity of the sun: changing from a very clear image to a blurred and distorted one. The plants hidden inside the surface of the plexiglass only appear thanks to the sunlight, thus directly echoing the process of photosynthesis that every plant needs to survive. On a bad weather day and during the night they disappear completely, leaving only the engraved letters (their name in Latin), as the only remaining memory of the plant. 《濒危植物标本集》是一件突出当地濒危植物并推测未来档案的艺术作品，于今年夏天在柏林的Art Biesenthal的展览中首次展出。这件诗意的作品将采取蓝色透明有机玻璃片三联画的形式。 三块SD卡形状的面板表面有轻微的起伏，通过一种特殊的光学技术将内容显示并投射到一个平面上，随着阳光穿过它们，由光和影组成的植物剪影开始浮现。每块玻璃都包含一种当地濒危植物的图像，由于全球变暖或自然栖息地的破坏，这些植物最终可能会消失。作品在白天根据太阳的位置和光线强度而变化：从清晰变为模糊和扭曲的图像。隐藏在有机玻璃表面的植物只在阳光下出现，从而呼应了植物生存所需的光合作用过程。在天气不好的时候和晚上，它们会完全消失，只留下雕刻的字母，作为植物的唯一剩余记忆。 https://earth-heat.cloud/HE-Zike Wed, 24 Jan 2024 10:20:40 +0000 Earth Heat Flow https://earth-heat.cloud/HE-Zike Saros 永恒的一日 <img width="5472" height="3648" width_o="5472" height_o="3648" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c4a15a2e207b3e250b31aa0a22ddf1ec56071bb444e243ad3422a8f1587fa7a8/2022-12-31-222609.jpg" data-mid="202669232" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c4a15a2e207b3e250b31aa0a22ddf1ec56071bb444e243ad3422a8f1587fa7a8/2022-12-31-222609.jpg" /> HE Zike,Saros,2020-2022,single channel video,900 secs,image courtesy of the artist 贺子珂，永恒的一日，2020-2022年，影像，15分，图片版权归属艺术家 Saros presents a dystopian story. At the apex of a new cycle of solar activity, after the solar eclipse of the summer solstice, a family transform into their domestic environment of a soap, plastic bag, simulated plant and electric plug, in the shadow of the eclipse and the disruption of the electronic system. As the final stage of the Download Life series, the film, like a hallucination created by the fragments of the previous works, uses digital models as a medium for submersion in modern life, including a series of irregular structures behind them: networks, databases, QR codes, planetary matter, cosmic cycles, artificial environments, mysterious signals, and the order and breakdown of the mundane human life. It recreates the annular eclipse of the summer solstice in 2020 and invokes the deadly relationship between solar activity and electronic systems to touch on the uncertainties that exist in both the digital and physical world – in the pre-Internet era, a breakdown &nbsp;in electronic systems caused by a massive solar storm had occurred, which could turn out to be a catastrophe today, however, the next one cannot yet be predicted. As a silent aside, an intelligent machine recounts its experience of a malfunction, as if describing an illness, a systemic disruption. It also talks about “deformation” and “disappearance” that might happen in a state of overload, and the flow of boundaries and concepts. Yet it may also be mere gibberish. The film was shot in the neighborhoods of the Capital Belt of Beijing, where the artist lived during the lockdown, and invited friends, neighbors, and domestic and maintenance workers to join the performance . In addition, as a parallel line, the audience can scan the QR codes that appear in the film to access different screen spaces. These include a short notice, and two pieces of advertisement for a digital perfume and a digital watch, which can be accessed in its digital form, however the virtual world does not smell and the watch can not indicate the time. While the Chinese title means one day in eternity, the English title of the work, Saros, means the certain period of time used to predict the cycle of eclipses, where the Sun, Earth and Moon return to similar corresponding positions, so that almost the same eclipses will occur again. 《永恒的一日》（Saros）呈现了一段荒诞的故事。在新一轮的太阳活动周期顶点，夏至日的日食之后，一家四口在食相的阴影和电子系统的紊乱之中变异为了家居环境中的一部分，香皂 、塑料袋、仿真植物和电插头。 作为《下载生活》系列的最后阶段，影片如同前序作品的碎片所产生的幻觉，以数字模型作为某种潜入现代生活构造的载体，包括其背后一系列不规则的结构: 网络、数据库、二维码、行星物质、宇宙周期、人造环境、神秘信号，以及平凡的人类日常中的秩序与崩坏。它再现了2020年夏至日的日环食，并引用了太阳活动与电子系统之间致命性的关系，以触碰数字世界甚至人类生存中所存在的不确定性——由大规模的太阳风暴造成的电子系统危机上一次发生在前互联网时代，下一次则还无法预测。旁白中，智能机器讲述了它的一次故障的经验，又像是在描述一场疾病，一次系统的混乱，它也谈论了在过载状态中的“变形”与“消失”，以及边界与概念的流动。然而它也可能只是在胡言乱语。作为一条与主线平行的叙事通道，观众可以扫描影片中出现的二维码进入不同的屏幕空间。其中包括一则简讯，以及一条数字香水与数字手表的广告，它们能够被以数字形态获取，然而虚拟世界并没有气味，手表也无法指示时间。 作品英文标题沙罗周期（Saros）是用于预测食相的周期，每经过特定的时间，太阳、地球和月球又会回到相似的对应位置，于是几乎相同的食相会再次发生。 https://earth-heat.cloud/Johannes-Langkamp Wed, 24 Jan 2024 10:20:42 +0000 Earth Heat Flow https://earth-heat.cloud/Johannes-Langkamp Analog Sun Tracking 追踪模拟太阳 <img width="7493" height="4998" width_o="7493" height_o="4998" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/29940481ad3ffc1839cf6bc9ebfd601eccc8056d11e3f7c074bf2fb44eab0bb3/BAB-33.jpg" data-mid="202669256" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/29940481ad3ffc1839cf6bc9ebfd601eccc8056d11e3f7c074bf2fb44eab0bb3/BAB-33.jpg" /> <img width="7619" height="5082" width_o="7619" height_o="5082" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3fbe4780ce2db6b5fa55a7600bac0f1130df3844eb9f9f679fcb64e136d51b26/BAB-29.jpg" data-mid="202669255" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3fbe4780ce2db6b5fa55a7600bac0f1130df3844eb9f9f679fcb64e136d51b26/BAB-29.jpg" /> Johannes Langkamp,Analog Sun Tracking,2019,TriptychFull Video installation, Full HD video 60 secs, image courtesy of &nbsp;V2_ Institute for the unstable media, Rotterdam, photographer Sander van Wettum 约翰内斯·朗坎普，追踪模拟太阳，2019年，三屏影像装置，60秒，图片版权归属 V2_ Institute for the unstable media, Rotterdam, 摄影师Sander van Wettum Stillstand is a triptych of 60-second time-lapse video loops showing the path of the Sun over 24 hours. &nbsp;The work is part of a continuing body of research started in 2013 on the perception of celestial bodies. Contrary to our normal perception, the Sun does not wander through the image but appears to stand still at the centre of the frame. The viewer is made aware of the planet earth revolving because of a temporarily stabilized viewpoint. &nbsp;This apparently neutral view is in fact carefully orchestrated with the use of a purpose-built apparatus. The Analog Sun Tracker is a motorized revolving camera mounted on a tripod which is in turn installed parallel to the axis of our planet, calculated to each specific location. The camera is thus allowed to complete one revolution in 24 hours, keeping track of the sun in the center of the frame. &nbsp;For the triptych, the artist traveled to three locations: Shanghai, Rotterdam and Kjølleford, separated from each other by 20 degrees latitude. In each case the recording was made in the month September, close to the equinox, and subsequently edited into a one-minute video loop. The three videos are synchronised and appear to show a single solar day observed from three distinct locations. &nbsp;The presentation of the work consists of the triptych of video screens and the Sun Tracker itself. The device is placed in the exhibition space as a live video feed installation, accelerated to match the speed of the time-lapse films. In this way the viewer gains access to the artist’s observation process. 作品是一个由60秒延时视频循环组成的三联画，展示了24小时内的太阳轨迹。 与我们的正常感知相反，太阳并没有在图像中徘徊，而地球似乎在旋转。 这种表面上的中立观点实际上是通过一个专门的仪器精心策划的。模拟太阳追踪器是一个安装在三脚架上的电动旋转相机，它又平行于我们星球的轴线安装，计算到每个具体位 置。因此，相机被允许在24小时内完成一次旋转，在画面中心保持对太阳的跟踪。 为了这幅三联画，艺术家去了三个地方。 上海、鹿特丹和Kjølleford，彼此之间相隔20度纬度。在每个案例中，录音都是在 9月，接近赤道的时候进行的，随后被编辑成一个一分钟的视频循环。这三段视频是同步的，似乎显示了从三个不同地点观察到的一个太阳日。 <img width="7952" height="5304" width_o="7952" height_o="5304" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/81edf8f59b6af3a78c59a1d4299fc383b0ee834ae9f7389f98c1352423753399/BAB-48.jpg" data-mid="202669254" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/81edf8f59b6af3a78c59a1d4299fc383b0ee834ae9f7389f98c1352423753399/BAB-48.jpg" /> Johannes Langkamp, Conversation with a Mechanical Dimension, Conversation with a Mechanical Dimension, 2019, Video installation, digital film, Laptop, revolving lamp, 270x300x300cm, image courtesy of &nbsp;V2_ Institute for the unstable media, Rotterdam, photographer Sander van Wettum 约翰内斯·朗坎普，与机械维度的对话，2019年，影像装置，数码胶片，电脑，旋转灯，270x300x300cm，图片版权归属 V2_ Institute for the unstable media, Rotterdam, 摄影师Sander van Wettum https://earth-heat.cloud/Zoe-LI Wed, 24 Jan 2024 10:20:42 +0000 Earth Heat Flow https://earth-heat.cloud/Zoe-LI A Sigh 一声叹息 <img width="7952" height="5304" width_o="7952" height_o="5304" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3df4e895eee6d23ab2aabda7995635bbaa926856039c0181d9ce7fccc48a6f29/BAB-53.jpg" data-mid="202669262" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3df4e895eee6d23ab2aabda7995635bbaa926856039c0181d9ce7fccc48a6f29/BAB-53.jpg" /> <img width="7700" height="5151" width_o="7700" height_o="5151" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/11a17f31692b55162c5ce115e535620f93f0705c2c4af024911387e6086395ac/BAB-52.jpg" data-mid="202669261" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/11a17f31692b55162c5ce115e535620f93f0705c2c4af024911387e6086395ac/BAB-52.jpg" /> <img width="7728" height="5154" width_o="7728" height_o="5154" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fb934792d43a62132a74949eb8ed93e5c125e01d8a8a68e1d73f9064bac48a53/BAB-54.jpg" data-mid="202669263" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fb934792d43a62132a74949eb8ed93e5c125e01d8a8a68e1d73f9064bac48a53/BAB-54.jpg" /> Zoe Li,A Sigh,2021,AI Installation, thermal paper, 120×100×60cm, image courtesy of the artist &nbsp; 李启菁，一声叹息，2021年，人工智能，装置，热敏纸，120×100×60cm，图片版权归属艺术家 As all the things are designed to be functional- especially Artificial Intelligent, I desperate to see AI one day become another form of existence besides human beings – what if they become nothingness, they output only – a sigh? The AI model is trained with collected diaries during this decade in China. As it finally can generate diaries for future day on behalf of people, but it connects to a CNC machine which only outputs hot air. The diary it generates at the end become hot air. The thermal paper is exposed to the hot air and reveals a blurry shape of the text.&nbsp;Experiences are not shared among individual, the project from the beginning is not expecting people understand each other. Feelings just don’t flow freely from one individual to another even though you share the same language. The project simply does not intend to force anyone to understand anyone, including AIs and humans. The trained data are fed into the AI and AI makes an effort to create, but all at the end become a sigh, a breath, or a nothingness.Supported by CAC &amp; Duke Kunshan University 当所有的事物都被设计成功能性的，尤其是人工智能，它是否有可能成为人类之外的另一种存在形式——如果他们成为虚无， 他们的输出只是一声叹息呢？《一声叹息》中的人工智能模型由近十年来艺术家收集的日记内容训练而成。它可以生成任何一个日期的日记，但由于它连接至一个只能输出热气的计算机数字控制机床，最后生成的日记也就变成了热气。热敏纸暴露在热气中，显示出模糊的文字形状。大量的数据训练着人工智能，人工智能则努力创造日记，但最后都成为一声叹息，一个呼吸，或一场虚无。 https://earth-heat.cloud/LONG-Pan Wed, 24 Jan 2024 10:20:43 +0000 Earth Heat Flow https://earth-heat.cloud/LONG-Pan 铜树 Copper tree <img width="7474" height="4985" width_o="7474" height_o="4985" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d7122dc1202eb87f8f25e137f947987cb5ee31bd7aa635c17da4075a31f7c52e/BAB-23.jpg" data-mid="202669267" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d7122dc1202eb87f8f25e137f947987cb5ee31bd7aa635c17da4075a31f7c52e/BAB-23.jpg" /> <img width="5143" height="3429" width_o="5143" height_o="3429" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6605a09f5ca8718b141b9be28ac1186ed5d61641354fba712a6219c4ff72ee9f/BAB-1.jpg" data-mid="202669269" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6605a09f5ca8718b141b9be28ac1186ed5d61641354fba712a6219c4ff72ee9f/BAB-1.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="3368" width_o="6000" height_o="3368" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/adf6da4569438593d3fc1cc3c551f046d5c2292234880e63e50340731ca10890/BAB-55.JPG" data-mid="202669268" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/adf6da4569438593d3fc1cc3c551f046d5c2292234880e63e50340731ca10890/BAB-55.JPG" /> LONG Pan,Copper tree,2022,dry tree roots,cables,60x40x120cm,image courtesy of the artist 龙盼，铜树，2022年，干树根，电缆，60x40x120cm，图片版权归属艺术家 植物根系浸润着重⾦属元素的现实，与不断从地下获取矿产来⽀撑的云 端世界，他们之间有着遥远⼜紧密的串联。铜是电⼦元件使⽤最⼴泛的⾦ 属，铜线也是导电、连接各部件关键的部分。错综分布的导线，在器械中穿 梭，有如菌丝⽹络般的存在，此连结草⽊，彼连接信息端⼝。⽽富集在植物 根系、茎⼲、叶脉中的铜元素，也同导线⼀般，顺着植物的脉管到达身体各 部，将流动的经脉填满⾦属。这是种有机与⽆机，地下与地上之间的交杂。向云中传递的数据流与向 ⼟壤中的根茎同步蔓延。
