昊美术馆很荣幸地宣布，将于2023年07月28日起在昊美术馆三楼展厅一呈现艺术家武子杨个展“云原生游牧”。
展览“云原生游牧”以篇章式的结构探讨了科技时代背景下新的社会叙事。
云原生作为一个始于2010的概念与技术名词，其含义随着时间与运用不断拓宽、演化。但如果我们从更具文学意味的字面上去拆分与解读，云原生代表的意义就是云端与本地/本土人，即云端上的原生居民。云原生架构下的应用在任意云端都具有与生俱来的优势，可以无缝运行与链接。
“云原生游牧”共展出了艺术家武子杨不同时期的五个项目，包括《一个有科技的女人》、《美西去了哪里？》、《未来_预报》、《巴石河2030-6 Plus》和《事件模型》。这些作品探讨了算法控制与偏见、远程居家共同体、行星尺度计算与新地缘、云网络社会的演变、“AI考古”、和集体创世等主题，并通过本次展览将其中得复杂性与矛盾性呈现出来。
美国技术哲学家本杰明·H·布拉顿曾提出”堆栈”的概念，他将这种巨型结构分为六层：地球、云、城市、地址、界面、用户[1]。在以云平台建立的总体性全球治理背景之下，艺术家游牧于层级和云间。通过对大量外部与内部信息的收集、整理，以及对当下网络生态与社会事件的整合研究；以推想的方式从宏观与微观的层面，探索了当前技术在跨文化背景下对社会、生活以及事物间或显性或隐性地影响。
在其近期项目中，艺术家开始专注于搭建实时平台系统，用以对社会发展的不同可能性进行“递归模拟”。艺术家期望通过这种不断自我调用的、计算性的模拟方式，对现实世界产生积极的影响，并讨论一种由此展开的美学立场。展览期间，观众也可以通过互动的方式，现场改写艺术家的作品，从而以共创的方式参与构建各种预期的未来景观。
“云原生游牧”通过大量硬核技术的创作内容，显示了技术之于艺术家的重要性。其中包括通过python数据采集实现的个人化数据库构建、AI对话机器人的训练与生成；艺术家与人工智能3D模型生成工具“共创”的场景建模，与社交媒体用户触发的交互式网络环境；以及通过各类API接口和玩家决策共同实现的复杂结构下的计算模拟。
艺术家也通过使用与切换不同技术，分享了云原生架构下的游牧者在如同块茎、朝各个方向延伸的网络生态里寻找生存之地的状态[2]，也让人不禁反思，在迅速更迭的技术环境下我们自身的定位。

Wu Ziyang: Cloud-Native Nomad
Dates: 2023.7.28 – 2023.8.30
Artist: Wu Ziyang
Curator: Zheng Guo
Venue: HOW Art Museum 3F, space one, Lane 2277, Zuchongzhi Road Shanghai
Organizer: HOW Art Museum
HOW Art Museum is pleased to announce Cloud-Native Nomad, solo exhibition of artist Wu Ziyang, will be on view in space one on 3F of the museum from Jul 28, 2023.
Cloud-Native Nomad explores new social narratives in the context of the technological age in a chapter-based structure.
Cloud-native, a notion and technical term emerging in 2010, has constantly expanded its meaning and usage over time. However, if we split the term and interpret it from a more literary perspective, “cloud-native” could also be read as cloud and natives, in other words, natives living on cloud. Applications under the structure of cloud-native are endowed with inherent advantages on any cloud, enabling them to run and link seamlessly.
Cloud-Native Nomad features five projects by artist Wu Ziyang during different periods, including A Woman with the Technology, Where Did Macy Go?, Future_Forecast, Pasig River 2030 – 6 Plus and Event Modeling. Delving into topics such as algorithmic control and bias, remote home community, planetary scale computing and new geographical relationships, evolution of cloud network society, “AI archeology” and collective creation, these works present the intricacies and contradictoriness embedded within.
Benjamin H. Bratton, American philosopher of technology, once put forward the notion of “the stack”. He divides this colossal structure into six layers: Earth, Cloud, City, Address, Interface and User.[1] Under the backdrop of an overarching global governance built on cloud platform, the artist become a nomad between the layers and cloud. Through the collection and organization of huge amount of external and internal information as well as integrated research on the current network ecology and social events, he explores and tries to conject, from both the macro and micro perspectives, the explicit and implicit impacts of current technologies on the society, people’s life and the world in a cross-cultural context.
In Wu’s recent projects, he focuses on the establishment of real-time platform system for “recursive simulation” of the various possibilities of social developments. Through constantly self-retrieved and computational simulation, the artist intends to create some positive impact on the real world and probes into the aesthetic stance developed from within. During the exhibition, viewers may rewrite the artist’s works on site in an interactive manner, participating in the construction of anticipated future landscapes through co-creation.
Cloud-Native Nomadic demonstrates the importance of technologies for artists through a large amount of hardcore technological creations, including personalized database construction through python data collection, training and generation of AI chat bots, scene modeling “co-created” by the artist and generative AI tools for 3D models, interactive network environment triggered by social media users, and computational simulation under complex structure co-realized through various API interfaces and player decisions.
With using and combing different technologies, the artist also casts light on how nomads search for a land of survival in the rhizome-like network that extends to all directions under the structure of cloud-native.[2] It pushes people to reflect on our own position in this drastically changing technological environment.
