A documentation of Dealing With Fear

(22 Reads)

http://dealing-with-fear.de/52hLab/liu_hoffmann.html This online publication assembles the results and outcomes of the multi-disciplinary and long-term project “Dealing with Fear,” undertaken by Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart within the years 2007 to 2009. The idea was to trigger a debate that would not necessarily provide efficient answers to practical questions, but create a space for reflection whose results could give insight into various understandings of the term “fear” and the idea of “dealing with fear.” The project comprised two international symposia, a group exhibition, and the so called 52-hour-lab, a weekend full of performances, workshops, one-on-one meetings, etc. dedicated to analyzing, discussing, articulating the different variations, languages, and expressions of fear. The cross-disciplinary exploration involved current and former Solitude fellows, jurors of the institution, and guests—all specialists in various fields of the arts, humanities, sciences, and the business world. During the process of artistic practice, scientific research, and the common dialog on the notion of fear, the view on the central topic turned from a cultural and historic perspective on threat and fear as Angst or Furcht into a positive understanding of fear in terms of productivity for change and attempts to shape the future. “Dealing with Fear” was initiated as a central topic by Solitude’s jury chairperson Philip Ursprung, who we cordially thank for this stimulating impulse. The theme provoked a collective activity and with this documentation we invite all interested people to share the multi-faceted outcome.

網路上尋得，台北捷運路線圖第十二版修正三版 ver.12.3 *1(連結圖版為 ver.12.4)。先不論其都市改造的落實性、工程進度中間接產生的紛擾，當我正著手準備 playaround09 – 科技遊民音景工作坊的資料時，這張還屬於未來的藍圖，帶給我極大的衝擊。一部巨型的互動音景交響曲，演奏者與聽眾群約六百萬至九百萬多人不等 *2，曲目的長度未知，未畢，而我們正處於最值得細細品味的片段當中。 This Taipei Metropolitan Rapid Transit (MRT) Map, Ver.12.31 *1 (external link shows ver.12.4) as pictured above, was found on the internet. Without going into a discussion on the implementation of urban transformation, or the conflicts that did and will continue to arise as construction progresses, this blueprint representing something from the future made a huge impact on me as I went about preparing resources for "playaround09 - Tech Nomads Soundscape Workshop."  It represented a gigantic interactive symphonic soundscape, with somewhere between 6 and 9 million2 performers and audience members *2.  The song is not yet completed and is of an unknown length, but we are in the middle of the best part of the song which ought to be savored, slowly. ...

那天，聲音雕塑的概念是不是要物質化，有形體，非單純聽覺可感知的，試試吧！以下是我的雕蟲小計。（點撥後，請等播放器下載完全。）

  用了兩年多的數位相機被扒走後，似乎又有必要記錄生活過程，所見所聞，找到了提筆寫字的正當性，不然，我是很健忘的。25.APRIL.2010 Laufenburg 十二世紀依著萊茵河的小村，橋這頭有廢棄的瑞士海關，錠藍色的牆，乾淨美好的陽台，這頭正在修橋面，走到中間約1公尺寬的 no where 區，不屬於瑞士，也不屬於德國，佇立一尊捧著迷你耶合華釘在十字的修者，衣著華麗，披著厚重的羊毛披肩。我輕鬆的跨過瑞士整修的橋面，到了德國的碎石橋面，河邊伴著引水道的瀑布聲，幾間熱鬧的餐廳，希臘菜，中菜，冰淇淋咖啡店的招牌全都用著中古世紀的 typo，寫著北京，雅典，咖啡，炸小捲與米飯蔬菜。大鳥弦著一顆星星站立於瀑布的頂端，石上的紀念碑寫著“勉懷死於戰爭的勇士們” 1914 - 18 ... "1939 - 46" 這一定是後來才加上，完全不同的字體，希望不會再加下去。
