「感同身受」參展藝術家：陳萬仁 " Empathy: Sensory Awakening" exhibiting artist: Chen Wan-Jen 慣於使用錄像及裝置的方式捕捉生活中重複交替的空白片段，成為陳萬仁的創作核心觀念，其作品時常運用寫實繪畫般反覆的精細拼縫數位影像，結合多種元素作為其視覺語彙的呈現。面對人類身體在數位技術的環境中經常被符號化、扁平化、去脈絡化的處置，藝術家讓日復流失的時間片段在作品中再現為冷漠、機械重複般的動態物件，並注入日常性的關注與批判，導致影像在現實與想像之間來回擺盪；並且試圖尋找時間片段中的具體重量，藉著營造極為日常的場景空間，收存每個稍縱即逝的時空畫片。 The kernel of Chen’s creative practice is to capture the repeatedly alternating blank fragments of his quotidian life with videos and installations. To develop his own visual vocabulary, the artist combines various elements with digital image collaged as finely and truthfully as realist paintings. Against the digital environment in which the human body is often codified, flattened, and decontextualized, Chen represents the elapsing fragments of time in his works as alienated and mechanical dynamic objects, to which he attaches his concerns and critique that make the images oscillate between realities and illusions. He also attempts to identify the significance embedded in these fragments of time, trying to frame the pictures of ephemeral time and space by creating the scenes of extremely quotidian existence. 文字引用出處 http://www.doublesquare.com.tw/tw/artist/chen-wan-jen #newmediaart #videoart #installation #感同身受 #taichung #taiwan

He was awarded the first prize of Taipei Arts Awards in 2006 and invited to be an artist-in-residence at the International Studio & Curatorial Program in New York in 2012. In addition, he staged many exhibitions in art museums and spaces across Taiwan. He is skilled in capturing the repeatedly alternating blank fragments in his daily life with videos and installations. His one-of-a-kind visual vocabulary features an attractive combination of multiple elements and collaged digital images as finely as realistic paintings. Against the digital environment in which the human body is often codified, flattened, and decontextualized, the artist, by virtue of his artworks, represents the elapsing fragments of time as unapproachable and mechanical objects in motion. He evokes the metaphor of a continuous loop in a closed space to symbolize the social mechanism, transforming all kinds of actions into a ritual of waiting. It seems that waiting has become a collective consciousness or behavior along the elongated timeline, suspending in the flat and endless efflux of time with futility and nihility. #videoart #installation #readymade
