Roy Ascott is internationally recognized as the pioneer and seminal theorist of cybernetic and telematic art. His work focuses on the impact of digital and telecommunications networks on consciousness (technoetics). As artist he has shown at the Venice Biennale, Milan Triennale, Biennale do Mercosul Brazil, European Media Festival, INDAF 2010 Korea, Musée d'Art Moderne, Paris. As consultant he has advised arts councils and media arts institutions in Europe, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, Korea, USA and UNESCO. As theorist, his books are widely published in many languages. As educator he is the founding president of the Planetary Collegium, the advanced research network, based in Plymouth University UK with nodes in Kefalonia, Milan, and Zurich. In 2012, Ascott joined DeTao Masters Academy, continues to promote the development of research in art, science, technology and consciousness in China.

ROY ASCOTT: SYNCRETIC CYBERNETICS is the first solo show of the artist in China, taking form of a small scale retrospective that regroups his most representative works from 1964 to present, including the artist's early drawings, paintings, sculptures and installations, illustrated by selected background documents such as show catalogues, spot photos and documentary video. The major work, La Plissure du Texte: A Planetary Fairytale originally created in 1983 for Frank Popper's exhibition ELECTRA at the Musee d'Art Moderne de Paris will be shown under four versions at the current Biennial: La Plissure du Texte: A Planetary Fairytale, 1983 (photo documentation); LPDT2   (video recording of the 2010 Second Life version),  LPDT3 (3D interactive tabletop installation in Second Life virtual world, 2012); and JOURNEY TO THE WEST: a planetary fairytale (global online writing performance, 2012).

JOURNEY TO THE WEST: a planetary fairytale (global online writing performance, 2012) is the re-activation of La Plissure du Texte in 1983. Based on the same concept of distributed authorship, using the current online communication system instead of the early computer conferencing protocol, the new performance specifically created for the 2012 Shanghai Biennale will involve 50 players around the world assuming the identity of fairytale characters in one of the four classical novels, and developing from that character's point of view, a rolling narrative online text over the entire period of the Biennale.

罗伊 阿斯科特是国际公认的媒体艺术先驱,以艺术家和理论家的双重身份活跃在媒体艺术领域。他创造性地将控制论和电信学引用到媒体艺术创作中,致力于研究数码和远程通讯网络对于意识的影响。作为艺术家他曾参展于威尼斯双年展,米兰三年展,巴西南锥双年展,欧洲媒体艺术节,2010韩国仁川国际数字艺术节,巴黎现代艺术博物馆。作为顾问他曾服务于欧洲,澳大利亚,巴西,加拿大,中国,日本,南韩,美国及联合国教科文组织的媒体艺术机构及委员会。作为教育者他是隶属英国普利茅斯大学的国际媒体艺术研究院创立者,并在希腊,意大利和瑞士设有分院。2012年阿斯科特受邀加入德稻学院,以媒体艺术领域杰出艺术家,理论家和具开创性视角教育者身份,继续在中国传播其对于艺术,科学,科技与意识方面的研究。

罗伊 阿斯科特:合成控制论是艺术家在中国举办的第一个展览,以小型回顾展的方式展示其从1964年至今的代表性作品,包括早期绘画,雕塑和装置,并选择性地附以当年的画册,现场图片及文献短片等背景资料。其主要作品,文之肌理:一个全球性的童话故事原创作于1983年,为旅英策展人及史学家Frank Popper同年在法国巴黎现代艺术博物馆举办的“厄勒克特拉:20世纪艺术中的电力与电子”展览征订作品。本届上双将呈现这部作品的四种不同版本:文之肌理:一个全球性的童话故事,1983版(图片资料);LPDT2,2010(第二人生虚拟现实版录像选段);LPDT3,2012(第二人生虚拟现实3D互动桌面装置),和西游记:一个全球性的童话故事,2012(全球线上写作计划)。

西游记:一个全球性的童话故事,2012(全球线上写作计划)回应本届上双主题“重新发电”,在10月1日开幕日重启1983年的原版作品,文之肌理,并将原版作品重新命名。新版维持了原版的共享作者权创作理念,以国际线上交流平台替换前因特网时代的早期电脑会议传送系统,这部为2012年上双特别创作的互动作品将即时向观者传送全球各地50位作者的线上写作行为。每位作者将在同名中国古典名著中扮演一个角色,并透过此角色的视角与其他写作者互动,在整个上双展览期间,共同完成这部滚动式文字叙述作品。

about THE 9TH SHANGHAI BIENNALE IN 2012

We are interested in artists that can motivate the public, revisit or rewrite history, convert and transform energy and organize dialogues and communications.

The idea behind "Reactivation" is not relocating a power plant to a place far away from the city, or generating power with renewable energy. Rather, it is an opportunity for us to think about how we live. When the site of the power plant becomes alive again, it doesn't generate any power in the traditional sense. Instead, it creates spiritual pules taht would activate the inherent energy within a community.

“重新发电”是本届双年展的主题。这个主题的行程和上海双年展的迁址,上海当代艺术博物馆的创建息息相关,它天然地对应着原南市发电厂,世博会“城市未来馆”的改造和重启。本次主题的对应性和契合度可能是历届上海双年展之最,它是一种回溯,也是一种展望,是一种隐喻,也是一种宣言。这座建筑的文脉,内在地包含了继往与开来,涅盘与再生等一系列议题,展示着能量聚散与历史之间深刻的联系。它曾是城市能量的发动机,是物理能量的发电,那么今天,它要转而成为城市思想的策源地,变成文化能量的发动机。它充分调动了城市的记忆和世博的资源,扣准了中国工业摇篮的命脉,承载了当代资源变革的使命,形象地表达了上海双年展和当代艺术博物馆作为思想策源地,能量发动机的意义。
