2023.12.01-2023.12.30 (11:57pm - 12am)

时代广场，纽约

Times Square, New York City

BANK欣然宣布艺术家陆扬作为纽约时代广场艺术委员会的“午夜时分”（Midnight Moment）艺术项目冬季受邀艺术家，其DOKU系列作品将在12月的每晚11:57至12:00亮相纽约时代广场广告巨屏，将时代广场变为一场后人类的舞蹈派对。

在《DOKU：数字转生》中，陆扬精巧地设计了他栩栩如生的电子化身，这源自艺术家对科学和哲学的独特而深刻的探究，涉及了佛教、神经科学、心理学以及现代技术的跨学科融合。

影像中不断变化形象的主角为DOKU，名字灵感来自佛教经文“独生独死”（Dokusho Dokushi）。DOKU作为非二元性别角色，融合了多位舞者和音乐家的独特的创作，并借助科学家、3D动画师和数字技术专业人士的团队合作，运用最尖端的动作捕捉技术创造而成。通过这种反复转生，艺术家涅槃重生为一个超越肉体限制的、无处不在的化身，这也见证了古老的轮回概念与最新技术创新的融合。

BANK is thrilled to announce that artist Lu Yang is the winter season artist for the Times Square Arts's Midnight Moment program in New York City. His DOKU work series is featured on giant screens from 11:57pm to 12:00am every night in December, taking over Times Square with a post-human dance party.

Lu Yang’s elaborately outfitted and eerily lifelike avatars in DOKU: Digital Reincarnation are born out of the artist’s distinct and ongoing scientific and philosophical inquiries — an interdisciplinary blend of Buddhism, neuroscience, psychology and modern technology.

The shape-shifting protagonist in this five-channel work is DOKU; the name is derived from the phrase “Dokusho Dokushi,” which translates to “We are born alone, and we die alone,” and references a canonical Buddhist scripture. While sharing Lu Yang’s facial expressions and features, the nonbinary character was generated from an amalgamation of various dancers and musicians, and created in collaboration with a team of scientists, 3D animators, and digital technicians using the latest in motion capture technology. Through this repeated incarnation, the artist is reborn as an ever-present avatar, endowed with talents surpassing physical limitations — uniting ancient concepts such as reincarnation with the latest technological innovations.
