    唐诗妮画廊很高兴发起此次线上展览《匿名者》。我们的呈现方式是将发起一系列线上展览,从而探讨疫情后人们的孤独经历。此次展览汇集了5位从事摄影、雕塑和多媒体工作的艺术家,旨在探索一些新兴术语 —— 例如”泡沫“:不再代表短暂的事物,而是与自我孤立和紧密的群体有关。破灭泡沫似乎不再是一种好玩的举动,它具有清醒的含义。

     

    该展览是对处理现代技术的普遍经验的回应,也是对过去一年世界所经历的恰当表达。

     

     

    我们的生活空间的定义以电话和计算机屏幕的存在为特征。社交互动被简化为“必要”,这意味着人们对该术语的理解有所转变,剥夺了它过去丰富和偶然的特质。

     

     

    现在的我们总是独处,因为我们主要的交流和沟通是通过我们的短信,短信提示似乎给我们带来了意想不到的期待感。我们工作、交流和建立联系都离不开屏幕发出的蓝光,例如刘勃麟的作品《休憩的屏幕(大)》(2017年)。距离封城一周年纪念日即将到来,在这一年里我们发现,虚拟世界或者线上沟通无法超越真实的线下交流。

     

    埃文·奥拉夫(Erwin Olaf)在他伟大的隔离项目中,以自我描述和认同为主题。例如他的照片《April Fool, 10.05AM》(2020年),在充满了超市内部网格的背景下拍摄了这组照片。Vhils正在他最近的工作中重新探讨这个话题,试图寻找人类活动的残余以及隐藏在文字和城市碎片背后的真相。他坚持不懈地提出了自己的概念,即通过碎片可以恢复世界观。

     

    在《Petrification》系列中,艺术家创做了一些雕塑作品,它们反映出了光线以及光线与其周边环境的互动,通过透明的表面来抓住大家的眼球。黄锐的雕塑《月亮》,寓意着语言的本质是不经意中发生的。艺术家寻找调查这一系列不完整的过程,一个没有名字的地方。

     

    不过,在当代是城市里,匿名可以带领我们走向自由。作品在展览中可以被认为是一种启发,让我们去思考这些没有界限的边界,尽管我们认为边界和限制会继续一起共存并且被语言、身体和科技所定义。

    Overall, researchers have found that anonymity can reveal personality traits that face-to-face interactions may hide, but that it also allows strong group rules and values to guide individual behavior.

     

    Anonymity, the basic definition of this term is “being without a name.” Simply understood someone is anonymous if his/her identity is not known. Psychologically speaking, being anonymous may be perceived as a reduction in the accountability for the actions of the person. Anonymity is also associated with privacy as sometimes it is desirable not to have a direct link with a specific entity, though sometimes it is required by law to present an identity before and/or during an action is performed. In the physical world we have different forms of identification, such as Social Security Number, driving license, passport etc., which are widely acceptable.

     

    Anonymity is also presented as an alchemic event of the internet age. It can be a transformative, disembodied state offering unprecedented freedoms for marginalised and dissenting voices. It can also shelter malicious operators from discovery and consequence. Suler has documented the psychological mechanics of these benign and toxic variations of the online disinhibition effect.
