「Body Crysis／身體災變」是一場難以界定的混種演出，它結合舞蹈動作捕捉、樂團演出、線上遊戲體驗、5G串流，轉化為台北、墨爾本、線上虛擬空間三方即時同步的線上/現場跨國共演。

本作由台灣新媒體藝術團隊NAXS FUTURE與澳洲編舞家Harrison Hall、媒體藝術家Sam Mcgilp共同製作，並邀請實驗搖滾／民謠樂團落差草原WWWW於「双融域AMBI SPACE ONE」投影包覆的沉浸空間中帶來儀式性的演出。樂團演出聲響將即時傳輸至墨爾本「the Substation」空間作為舞作配樂，而位於「the Substation」空間中的舞者肢體動作捕捉，將即時串流至由NAXS FUTURE創造的多人連線雲端虛擬空間之中，觀眾將可於世界各地登入體驗。

「Body Crysis／身體災變」是對於「不可能的身體」之反思與實踐，亦是對於擴展賽博身體邊界的嘗試。藝術家自虛構的遠古神話、生物變態與自然的循環之中尋找敘事線索，透過虛擬網路技術串聯起舞者、音樂演出者和觀眾的共時感官。

*本場演出後將有40分鐘演後座談＋QA，透過製作團隊的經驗分享，與觀眾一同討論未來沉浸式虛實展演與國內外開發合作之可能。

 

"Body Crysis" is an indefinable hybrid/hyperreal performance. It combines dance motion capture, Band performance and online gaming experience, which are then transformed into an online/onsite and cross-country co-performance of Taipei, Melbourne, and an online virtual space.

This work was co-produced by the Taipei based new media art collective NAXS FUTURE, Melbourne based choreographer Harrison Hall, and media artist Sam Mcgilp, and featuring experimental rock/folk band PrairieWWWW with a ritualistic performance at AMBI SPACE ONE.

The sound of the band performance will be streamed to the Substation space in Melbourne as the dance soundtrack, while the motion capture of the dancers' movements will be streamed to a multiplayer virtual space where audiences around the world can log in to experience.

"Body Crysis" is a reflection and practice of the "impossible body" and also an attempt to expand the boundaries of the cyber body. The artist seeks narrative clues from fictional ancient myths, metamorphosis and the natural cycle, then connects the synchronic senses of dancers, music performers and audiences through virtual network technology.

*After the performance, there will be 40 minutes of post-performance discussion and QA. Through the experience sharing of the production team, we will discuss with the audience the possibility of future immersive online performance and cross-country cooperation.

Harrison Hall

Harrison的作品將當代表演和舞蹈置於體驗式藝術環境中。 他的作品提供了一種改變的現實狀態的感知，以調動對世界的毫無根據的信念。 他的設計過程始終以身體探索和尋找共享的物理狀態為基礎。 Harrison最近的工作在數位世界和現場世界之間流動，致力於增加混合數位和現場環境中的體驗。

他與許多藝術家合作過，包括：Yumi Umuimare 和 Theatre Gumbo（日本）、澳洲芭蕾舞團、Jo Lloyd、Stephanie Lake、Philip Adams' Balletlab、Shaun Parker Company + Ivo Dimchev（保加利亞）、Gideon Obarzanek、Lucy Guerin Inc、Antony Hamilton, Dancenorth等等。 近年來，他將精力集中在為墨爾本的 Chunky Move 創建多個混合項目上。

Harrison’s work situates contemporary performance and dance in experiential art environments. His works offer a sense of transport into altered states of reality to shift unfounded beliefs about the world. His devising process is always grounded in somatic exploration and finding shared physical states. Harrison’s recent work flows between digital and live worlds, working to increase the embodied experience in mixed digital and live contexts.

He has collaborated with many artists including: Yumi Umuimare and Theatre Gumbo (Japan), The Australian Ballet, Jo Lloyd, Stephanie Lake, Philip Adams’ Balletlab, Shaun Parker Company + Ivo Dimchev (Bulgaria), Gideon Obarzanek, Lucy Guerin Inc, Antony Hamilton, Dancenorth and many more.  In recent years he has focussed his energy in creating multiple hybrid projects for Chunky Move in Melbourne.

 

Sam Mcgilp

Sam 的作品位於媒體藝術、當代表演和電影的交匯處。 他致力於為表演尋找新的數位戲劇。 他最近在 RMIT 的博士研究鑽研了數字迭代—與現場表演有關的獨特數位藝術作品—並在 2019 年社會藝術會議（溫哥華）上獲得了新興學者獎和副校長的博士獎學金。

Sam 和 Harrison 首次在 Temperance Hall 合作製作了“The Venusian Slip”，這是他們仲夏節節目的一部分。 這部作品被Sam製作成舞蹈電影，並在全球巡迴演出。 2019 年，Sam獲得了澳洲理事會的職業發展補助金，Sam和Harrison在城崎國際藝術中心進行駐村。 在此期間，他們與 Yuiko Masukawa 和 Makoto Uemura 共同開發了一項新的 mediax performance 作品，這促進了他們共同的創作並將身體置於數位體驗中。

Sam’s work is situated at the nexus of media art, contemporary performance and cinema. He works to find new digital dramaturgies for performance. His recent PhD research at RMIT,  investigated digital iterations - distinct digital art works with a relationship to live performance - and was awarded the emerging scholar award at the Art in Society conference (Vancouver) 2019 and the Vice Chancellor’s PhD Scholarship.

Sam and Harrison first collaborated on “The Venusian Slip” at Temperance Hall as part of their Midsummer Festival program. This work was made into a dance film by Sam, which toured globally. In 2019, Sam received a Career Development Grant from the Australia Council and Sam and Harrison undertook a residency at the Kinosaki International Art Centre. Through this period they developed a new media performance work with Yuiko Masukawa and Makoto Uemura, which catalysed their shared work to center the body in digital experience.

 

落差草原 WWWW

落差草原 WWWW是2010年在台灣台北成立的實驗民謠樂隊。樂團名稱中的四個W不發音，用作波形的象形圖，以及隨風飄揚的草地的意象。 他們的音樂結合了詩歌、民間故事、環境和部落元素。 樂團從大自然的力量中尋找靈感。 他們在表演中融合了聲音和視覺藝術，成功地向觀眾展示了他們在視覺和聽覺上獨特的音景體驗。

作品邀請落差草原打造一段50分鐘的超現實聲響體驗，瑰麗的配器、電子取樣、恍惚呢喃的詩句和開天闢地的重擊鼓聲，交織成跨越國族與時間的儀式性篇章。

Prairie WWWW is an experimental folk band formed in Taipei, Taiwan in 2010. The four Ws in Prairie’s band name are not to be pronounced, serving as a pictogram for a waveform, as well as the imagery of the grass that blowing in the wind. Their music combines poetry, folk, ambient, and tribal elements. The band seeks inspiration from the might of nature. With a mixture of sounds and visual arts in their performances, they manage to bring forward to their audiences the experience of their unique soundscape visually and aurally.
