The artists will be Cai Jin, Guo Wei, He Gong, Lin Hai Dong, Shi Li Feng, Wu Ching Ju CAN ART or CAN NOT Tomaz Z CHOW We have all witnessed and experienced the rapid popularization of photography induced by digitalization, which has made taking a picture as simple as making a phone call and deleting a picture easier than throwing away a bag of trash. Once, photography was regarded as the biggest challenger against painting, the most honest and most scientific scene recorder and an independent art form of solemnity. However, with camera phones everywhere now, can we call those pictures taken by us randomly art? Have we all become artists now? Every one is an artist, said Joseph Beuys: one's unique approach to art will transform any medium into art if one's creativity is inspired and expressed. This is Beuys' answer, which is similar to ours. Take photography as an example. We objectively recorded down some images when we pressed the shutter but always felt discontented later when looking at them. Such a memory-recorded picture departs from the memory and presents us a barely satisfactory narrative where sky is not blue enough and smiles seem unnatural. The reason is that our memory sifts through ordinary things to keep those who are not while an honest picture keeps all. The conflict between an accurate picture produced by a camera and the memorizing mode of human brain compels us to constantly modify the image to be stored in our memory, so as to answer the appeal in our heart. Scientific equipments might be increasingly accurate, but the nature of the world remains elusive. In some matters, a few lines from a poet might be more to the point than a reporter’s long stories. Photography is just one example. Nowadays the border line between different forms of art is blurring and the boundary between art and life is always being broken. Among the varied roles we are playing in our lives, is one of them called artist? Indubitably, there are always some differences between art and daily life, differences so tiny that you might ignore them and never too big for you to overcome. As for the questions in the beginning, indeed we can not be sure whether they are art or not, and whether you, they and we are artists or not. But, everything. |
