随着“迷因城市：骇进现实”首届跨媒体艺术节开幕将近，小编将逐渐为大家介绍参加此次媒体艺术节的艺术家。本期介绍的是邵纯继续关注着对数字沟通的冲突，现在，她正在研究一款基于皮肤的通信模式。
现居西雅图的邵纯是一名多媒体艺人。目前，邵纯在华盛顿大学DXARTS攻读艺术与科技专业博士，2013年，她在芝加哥艺术学院获得表演艺术专业艺术硕士学位。2010年，她从中国美术学院毕业，获得新媒体艺术专业艺术学士学位。她希望尝试表达出数字世界里亲密与孤独感的冲突，尤其是在人与人之间的交流中。邵纯一直推出各种互动性表演，过去几年是与可穿戴技术结合，邀请观众通过聆听和触摸融入艺术作品。她的作品影射出在与世界以及其他人相处时，内心那种虚弱的意志力。
邵纯继续关注着对数字沟通的冲突，现在，她正在研究一款基于皮肤的通信模式。这种模式不需要语言、文字或屏幕图像，而是一系列的生物信号（脑电波、呼吸、肌肉压力等等），将这些信号转化为身体感受，如体温、湿度、痛苦、压力等等。一方面，邵纯希望能通过人的肉体来实现“听说”，在数字世界重建亲密关系；另一方面，数字化的生物信号和人造的生理反应加重了人们之间的隔阂，创造出人与人的距离感。邵纯的作品通过对比互联网上的无限亲近和无限疏离，对通信技术的确定性和新鲜感提出了质疑。
Chun Shao is a multimedia artist who isliving in Seattle. Currently, Shao is pursuing her Ph.D. degree in Art andTechnology major at DXARTS, University of Washington. In 2013, she received anMFA degree in Performance Art from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.In 2010, she received her BFA in New Media Arts from China Academy of Art. Shaois interested in experimenting with the paradox of intimacy and loneliness inthe digital world, especially from the communicational aspect. Shao has beenmaking participatory performances, which integrated with wearable technology,for the past few years. She constructs performances by asking audience to hear,touch, and immerse themselves in the work. Her work insinuates a weak-willedmental state of perpetuating the relationships with the world and others.
Continuing Shao’s interest of the paradoxof digital communication, she currently is exploring a skin-based mode oftelecommunication. Eliminating the verbal language, written text, images on ascreen, Shao is working with different kinds of biological signals (brainwave,breath, muscle tension etc.) and translating them into a wide range of somaticexperience such as warmth, humidity, pain pressure etc. On the one side, Shaointents to open up a flesh involved way of “talking” and “listening” in orderto reconstruct an intimate relationship in the digital word. On the other side,the digitalized biological signals and the artificial human physiologicalreactions likely are thickening the barriers between people, and create a morealienated feeling of being and being together. Shao’s work often questions thecertainty and euphoria of telecommunication by contrasting the extremeconditions of togetherness and separation though the Internet.
