蔡文悠：艺术、自然、1025室内的普拉提丨AMNUA《通明》系列
编者按：
当前，在我们心中，“艺术家”到底是一种什么样的形象？这是目前刚刚展开的《通明》项目一个作为出发点的问题。从这一问题出发，我们将尝试逐渐触及展开一系列更加根本性的问题视野，譬如：当前，在我们普遍而现实的处境下，无论是在观念上，还是自己具体的生活经验上，我们如何理解艺术作为一种具体的志业？如何理解其传承，如何理解我们心目中的所苦苦追寻的，那个作为“艺术家”的，人的形象？
当然，我们关于艺术家的形象首先来自他/她们的艺术，包括当代展览中的艺术及其作品。作为《通明》项目的进一步展开，“细数祝福”系列采编推送将尝试首先从艺术及其被展示的作品本身出发，来和大家共同找寻那个对于我们来说依旧在灯火阑珊处的“人”，细数祝福，永续人生。
本期首先推送的是参与《通明》的蔡文悠（Wen-You Cai）近期的一个基于大众媒介的“快手”系列，推送标题为编者所加。本期推送中的关于作品的文本除特别标注外，均为艺术家的介绍性自述。

Screen recording of Pilates videos taken against the backdrop of art history and nature, as I performed short exercises in museums, and in nature. These were footages taken to be posted on Instagram as part of the hashtag #pilatesinthewild where people exercised different pilates motions in settings outside the of the conventional pilates class. The video has recently been re-edited to reflect the experience on the desktop, as those real life moments are forever looped and re-experienced in digital space.
《Zoom 普拉提》是2020 - 2021 年期间在Zoom 上的普拉提课程视频汇编。为了保持社交距离，我的长期普拉提教练 Mariko Russell 和她的妹妹 Keiko Taniguchi 转向在Zoom 上带普拉提课。我使用 Zoom 的虚拟背景设置，通过重返以前访问过的地方来创作诙谐的作品，亦可满足我们超越隔离的限制去旅行的渴望。
虚拟背景被设置为社会、自然和艺术的不同场景。除了其中一个背景，所有的背景都是我拍的照片。通过普拉提练习，我探索了自己身体的能力，以及它与物理和虚拟环境的关系，探索了艺术史中描绘的人类身体形态的各种社会理念。 在作品中，身体可以作为穿越整个屏幕的建构，并且各个屏幕窗口之间还可以相互参考。

A compilation of videos from pilates classes hosted on Zoom in 2020–2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Socially distant, my longtime pilates instructor Mariko Russell and her sister Keiko Taniguchi went on Zoom to host pilates classes. I used Zoom’s Virtual Background setting to explore a composition of returning to photographs of previously visited places for humor, and satisfy a longing for travel beyond the confines of our quarantine.
The virtual backgrounds are set to different scenes of society, nature, and art. All but one background were photographs I had taken. Through the pilate exercises, I explore the capacity of my body and its relation to the physical and virtual environments, as well as social ideals of the human form depicted in art history. The body also serves as a composition across the screen, and with various windows serving in reference to each other.

Footage taken during my 14-day mandatory hotel quarantine from June 3–17, 2021 in Shanghai. Recordings of the daily routines and mundane experiences become a meticulous study and curiosity to be played back for an audience of one.

Carousel: A performative panel that takes you on a trip across time and space
Wen-You Cai leads a panel of distinguished experts, isolated in different locations, through a journey of blurry moments, reminisce on dusty small pleasures, and sometimes crisp details we have long overlooked or forgotten. The conference call connects the now discontinued Kodak Carousel slide projector, a nostalgic technology of photo sharing, to Zoom, currently the most prevalent form of communication, taking us on a digital ride that binds past, present, and future. This was a live presentation hosted by Special Special and Wildman Clab present as part of a series called ‘The Frontiers Conference.’
