重磅！“后生命”倒计时：第二届北京媒体艺术双年展即将开场！
2018年9月5日，第二届北京媒体艺术双年展（BMAB）将如期回归，上一届“技术伦理”主题为我们呈现了在“新科技神学”下的个体在认识论上的诸多沉思与反省。而本届双年展主题展“后生命”主题的讨论势必会让我们意识到：不仅在“认识论”层面，“新科技”还将促使我们重新思考自己与其他物种的关系，我们是否有勇气将作为万物标尺的“人”真正去中心化？
作为双年展的另一个核心板块，“艺术与科技”实验空间展，旨在为艺术创作与前沿性的科学技术研究搭建交流合作的实验场，介绍世界各地跨学科实验室与“后生命”主题相关的的研究话题及研究实践，呈现跨领域交叉学科共同创作的关于未来生命的实验成果。
On September 5, 2018, the 2nd Beijing Media Art Biennale (BMAB) is to return on schedule. If the topic Ethics of Technology last year discussed what we should contemplate and introspect at the epistemological level under the pressing and disturbing mystery of New Theology of Technology, the theme of Post-Life covered in the Biennial this year will explore not only at the epistemological level but also discuss whether we, as post-life, when prompted by new technology to revalue the relationship between ourselves and other species. Do we have the courage to decentralize ourselves?
As another section in BMAB2018—the “Art and Technology” Lab Space, which aims to build a platform where artistic creation and cutting-edge Science and Technology Studies can exchange ideas and cooperate. It is also set to introduce research topics and practices by interdisciplinary research laboratories across the world that related to the theme of “Post Life” and present the accomplishments on future life realized on the basis of interdisciplinary cooperation.
2016 BMAB“技术伦理”回顾
“Ethics of Technology” in Retrospect
由中央美术学院和北京国际设计周、德国奥芬巴赫造型艺术大学共同举办的《北京媒体艺术双年展》“技术伦理”包括两个部分：第一部分包含五大科技支柱：人工智能AI/机器人技术、大数据/算法、生物基因技术、虚拟/增强/现实/混合现实和元科学，来共同形成的核心工具和方法论。第二部分由一系列从不同角度对科技和伦理有深入反思的艺术作品/研究组成。衍生内容包括实验空间、学术论坛、城市公共屏幕、视听表演、线上展览等等。
Organised by the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing Design Week and HFG-Offenbach, Beijing Media Art Biennale “Ethics of Technology” consists two parts. The first part includes five pillars of technology: AI/ROBOTICS, BIG DATA/ALGO- RITHMS, BIO-GENETICS, VR/AR/MR, along with META SCIENCE, together forming a core of tools and method. The second part is made up of a selected body of art/research works and practices which are reflective and relevant to ideas on ethics and morality. Furthermore the event expands into forums, panel discussions, public engagement, an online hyperlink exhibition and publications.

“随着物联网、大数据、人工智能、共享经济等‘新名词’的不断涌现，当今社会已由过去单一的线性发展方式转变为多元的裂变式发展方式。人们生活与教育方式、产业发展结构、城市发展模式等都处于巨大的变革中，我们正处于一个以‘不确定性’为常态的时代。
作为一门综合性极强的学科，艺术与设计与科学技术、人们未来生活方式、社会文化、社会创新发展等紧密相关，也必然面临‘不确定性’所带来的巨大挑战。面对裂变式变革，我们又该如何重新定义艺术与设计？如何建构面向未来的艺术与设计学科？
‘艺术与科技’不仅是一个突破边界的新学科，还是一个推动教改的新动力。北京媒体艺术双年展，既是一个呈现‘艺术与科技’创新实践的展示平台，更是一个推动跨学科发展的教育实验平台，双年展输出的在艺术、科技和哲学等维度的知识和经验将成为反哺新学科建设的重要资源。本届双年展的主题‘后生命’提出了如何定义生命？如何定义未来生命？我们是否应当将生命定义范围拓宽？等重要的生命伦理问题。”

“今天我们所知的生命，从它诞生之初就从来没有停止过不断地走向后生命状态。还原到最基础的层面上的时候都是基本粒子。生命和非生命的区别，只是它们的组织形式的区别。生命只是一种不断进化的关系和一种此起彼伏的形式，以及一种自我感知的能力。而这一能力今天正在达到这样一种自我意识，那就是我们传统上认为非生命的要素，其实始终都是构成我们的生命本身的东西，正如木材之于火焰。后生命，表达的是这样一种谦卑：那就是我们对什么是生命的边界，依然一无所知。”
“后生命”主题展：
Thematic Exhibition
展览将以“后生命”为主题，重点探讨在生物基因、人工智能和机器人等科技飞速发展的影响下，在日渐受到关注的后人类理论语境中，“生命”这一古老概念的拓展和延伸，以及人在与地球上其他物种共处时，处于“非人类中心主义”思潮中微妙变化的地位。展览主体将分为三部分，分别为“数据生命”、“机械生命”、“合成生命”，从存在于算法中的虚拟生命、基于机械构架的仿生生命，以及作为介于生命定义模糊边界的合成生命来阐释生命这一主题。作品类型包括但不局限于动态影像、互动装置、沉浸式艺术、生物艺术、机械装置、声音视觉、 网络艺术、声音艺术和混合媒介等。
The theme of the exhibition is “Post Life” and it focuses on how the ancient concept of life itself has been expanded in the context of the rapid development of biological genes, artificial intelligence, robots, and the subsequent increase of attention paid to anthropological theories. It is further meant to explore the subtle changes that have led to the idea of humans’ coexistence with other species on Earth from the perspective of non-anthropocentrism. The main exhibition comprises three parts: “Data Life”, “Mechanical Life”, and “Synthesized Life”; all focused on trying to determine what life is as seen from the different points of view of: virtual life brought into existence by computer algorithms, bionic life brought into existence by machinery, and hard-to-define synthetic life. The exhibits will belong to categories such as videos, interactive installations, immersive art, biological art, mechanical installations, audiovisual art, Internet art, sound art, mixed media, and others.

The cross-disciplinary “Art and Technology” Lab Space is a new model of futuristic innovation; it not only changes the research and development model of the scientific and technological circles, but also provides new possibilities for the studio-centered artist practice. The “Art and Technology” Lab Space invites a number of representative domestic and foreign laboratories, such as MIT Media Lab, to present their ideas, practices, and methods, along with their research findings and artworks related to the theme of “Post Life”. The exhibits will include R&D prototypes, demo videos, technical demos, literature, and publications. The Lab Space will utilize exhibitions, workshops, or panel discussions to exchange practical experience, activate an urban organic symbiosis, and catalyze cross-field art cooperation. It will also showcase Chinese folk traditional artistic and scientific achievements, emphasizing the extended historical background of art and technology.
