世界末日的存在其實一點都不是該絕望的事情，反倒像 是一種希望，在無聊至極的生活裡找到一個目標，雖然 是個很毀滅的目標，就像一個自殺者著手準備執行的動 力一樣毀滅，卻也沒什麼不好。
從反核、地社，到旺中，年輕的一代似乎被社會用無以 名狀的方式摧殘著，海明威的良師益友、同時也是對美 國現代主義文學頗具影響力的葛楚．史坦（Gertrude Stein）有一次對著年輕的海明威說：「你們這一代上過 戰場的年輕人，全都是失落的一代，對什麽事都漠不關 心，成天醉生夢死。」
The existence of this day should never be seen as a desperate incident. It’s more like hopefulness
in a mundane and meaningless life. It may seem destructive. It may seem suicidal. However,
ironically speaking it’s like a means to an end. If destruction gives way to motivation and action, then perhaps it is not such a bad thing.
From the anti-nuclear protests, to the Live House 許多燦爛正在消失著，雖然我們沒有真正的戰爭使我們 成為那失落的，或垮掉的一代，然而從最近所謂文藝青 年們出動參與抗爭的事件來看，在社會上，在體制下， 我們或許是迷失的、是徬徨的，是逃避著的，也是戰鬥 著的。

Although there is no actual war in the current day to turn us into a lost generation, as Stein puts
it, the protests and demonstrations attended by a mass amount of our youth today may reveal the
ways in which we might be lost, frustrated, and confused, but nonetheless we keep on fighting.
Looking upon clues from ancient times, we are
all trying to re-live the past glory and start the
beautiful life we’ve always imagined; just like the
movie Midnight in Paris, depicting the protagonist taking a midnight train to attend a long gone party.
Time moves on, though we are in a dilemma as whether to move forward or to run away from reality, we’ve got to move on even if it means
turning our backs and walking backwards but forward.

California Dreaming California in the 70's was a modern renaissance a time of wild personal freedom and exploration.
Music, art, and fashion defined the revolution. The
spread of peace and love resulted in new friendships and ideas. As the late Jim Morrison (of the Doors) said, "A friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself."

最近在忙的事情是？ 最近在忙一些演出，還有之前幫媽媽出的專輯，然後拍了一個 MV、當了一下特別嘉賓、寫自己的歌、弄專輯的東西，明年春天 的時候會有一部電影要上，然後專輯還在體驗生活、收集靈感。
最近熱中的造型是？對這次封面造型的感覺是？ 最近都沒有熱衷什麼造型，而且工作的時候就會接觸很多造型，所 以生活中是越舒適越好，能穿睡衣就穿睡衣，越是最近越覺得衣服 只是人的一部分，整體來講，可能髮型和妝還有態度、調調來得更 重要，會穿的衣服都是自己很喜歡的，覺得就是be yourself ，不管 穿什麼，個人特質鮮明最重要。
這次封面造型有一種融合和自由的感覺，融合是因為自己的 性別卻穿著男性的西裝，或是頭和帽子之間的關係，覺得這是 很有想像空間的，是很自在自由的，帽子都有藏著一種神祕感，戴 著低低的就會讓人想像眼神。

對於時常需要被拍照的你，覺得攝影師在什麼狀況下 會讓你覺得很自在地工作？ 以前比較在意攝影的狀況與環境，現在不管什麼情況下都可以讓自 己自在，一站在背景紙前或是一個場景的時候，自己會覺得這是一 個另外的世界，外面有沒有人，有沒有攝影機都沒有關係了，已經 進入了那個時空裡面。
大哥（林炳存）的拍攝方式就會讓人更快速的投入，因為他會給你 很強烈的鼓勵，有的時候拍攝就像是在做音樂一樣，他發出一個聲 音告訴你拍攝的節奏，會因為他的聲音而去回應變換動作，這樣比 較有互動和默契。有些攝影師拍攝的時候默默的，或是比較不知道 怎麼表達的時候，會比較不知道怎麼去拿捏，不知道他拍了沒有、 可不可以變換動作，會需要磨合一下。
自己平常滿容易進入到自己的世界，常作白日夢，心裡也常會有配 樂，像是這個場景適合怎麼樣的配樂，很習慣自己切換狀態，加上 作演員已經滿久，所以對表演也有相當的經驗了。
對於這一期Abook Magazine的主題有沒有什麼立即聯 想到的？ 立刻想到自己常有的一種感覺。 很多的經典一直在消失，但也因為這樣所以才能是經典，以前的人 美的話為什麼可以美成這樣、好聽的音樂儘管簡單卻很雋永。很多 很多的東西都在流失，那該怎麼辦，作為這一代、下一代、下下一 代的人，會不斷有一種複製或者循環，我們會很想追求某個年代曾
對攝影有沒有特別熱愛？平常有拍照的習慣嗎？ 目前持有的相機是？
經有的一種輝煌，然後融合現在進化成一種混搭的感覺，至於真正 屬於現在的代表是什麼，似乎也變得模糊了。
之前有買一些相機，目前使用的是Panasonic Lumix DMC-Gf1，但最 常使用的還是手機。有拍照習慣，但和熱愛的人比較起來並沒有那 麼熱愛，特別喜歡拍天空，喜歡拍雲。
你對於自己小時候的那個年代，有什麼特別印象深 刻，想要特別留下的回憶？ 想留下的回憶都留的很深。
對自拍的感覺是什麼？ 很難拍的很好看。 拍過幾張覺得技術真的不怎麼樣，所以就放棄了，除非要記錄造 型，或有特殊的目的，不然平常都沒有自拍的習慣。
小時候覺得四季特別分明，換季的時候，會聞到秋天的味道，感覺 得出秋天要來了，現在卻越來越模糊，越來越短，秋天大概一兩個 禮拜，冬天就到了，覺得沒有那麼滿足，也沒有那麼平衡。 小時候很單純，對外面的叫賣聲印象很深刻，還有午後的感覺，吃 零食、豆花加小粉圓。以前的雜貨店，雖然都賣很不健康的東西， 但是味道都讓人難忘。
世界末日過了，這個議題在你的生活裡曾經成為話題 嗎？你對這件事的感覺是？ 覺得這議題很有趣，也很幽默（笑） 我倒是不覺得緊張，況且每隔一段時間似乎都有這種相關的傳言， 我一直深信我們這一代似乎不會看到所謂的末日，另一個層面上， 末日的含意似乎是在警惕我們，在人的精神面，如果累積了太多的 負面能量，就算活著何嘗不是一種終結，過了末日我們應該要去 想，去回顧或是反省，未來的我們要怎麼活。

It’s quite easy for me to fall into my own world because I daydream quite often.

Do you like photography? Do you take pictures yourself? What camera do you use now? I bought a few cameras before and what I am using now is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-Gf1. I use the camera on my phone most of the time though. I do like taking pictures but I can’t compare to those who have a true passion for photography.

新媒體藝術指的是利用現代科技創作的藝術形式，包含錄像藝術、互 動裝置、音像藝術等等，而丁建中的作品即是藉由機械、影像與聲 音，透過媒材間的重複運動，將一遍遍的動作，淡化、消融生活中習 以為常的事件，復刻成某種巨量深刻的閱讀經驗。憑著作品「空屋」 直接的感官衝擊，丁建中在2011台北藝術博覽會ART

區大放異彩，也令人好奇其作品背後的故事與過程。十一月在新苑藝 術的展覽集合了丁建中創作以來的所有作品及其過程，除了為作品的 執行過程加上圖示之外，也展示了他的工作台。
New media art is a genre that encompasses artworks created with new media technologies, including recording art, virtual art and interactive art. Using repetition and materials such as, machines, video and sound, Din attempts to ease the dull feeling of ordinary life by transforming his works into significant experiences for the senses. His work “Vacant Room” embodies a direct sensational impact for viewers, and gained him notoriety in the 2011 Taipei Art Exhibition for new artists. The exhibition took place in Galerie Grand Siècle in November and featured most of Din’s work and his artistic journey. His artistic blueprints and worktable were also displayed.

作品「Ordinary Instruments」構想來自黑膠唱盤利用唱針讀取的類比聲響，裝置中透 過對木板紋理的反覆耗損，以換取聽覺、觸覺、視覺及摩擦下溫度的細微辨識，而長 時間執拗的動作，成為無止盡的時間風景。 The idea of Ordinary Instruments comes from the analog voice that read by stylus of LP records. This device underwent a series of repeatedly weariness onto wood in order to retrieve the subtle temperature differences from auditory, tactile and visual stimuli that become the endless landscape of time.

Ordinary Instruments背後的概念是？ 是在說「重複性」的這件事。 從小家裡做的是醫療器材，所以常常接觸包裝的工廠生產線，生產線的每一個環節都在重複作一件事，不知不覺對重複的事件 開始起了興趣，後來上研究所時，馬達的迴圈作用也很吸引我。重複的動作處理上不像文學，沒有故事主軸或起承轉合，比較 像是空間建築的結構性，並且用時間與空間的狀態產生閱讀上的經驗，像佛經、電子音樂，都是以簡單的元素大量堆疊、大量 重複，雖然單一元素本身可能不具太大的意義，但經過堆疊之後就會呈現有趣的經驗狀態。
這件作品利用馬達結構去作繞圓的運動，圓的運動本身沒有開始或結束，是個不斷重複的線性，透過木板的紋理及其方向性， 機械經過順的與逆的紋理表面時，聲音會有不同的尖銳度，木板經過耗損也會與前一次的回圈產生不一樣的聲音，這聲音對我 來說就像是一個表演，他在第一天執行、和第一周，和第一個月， 的耗損程度都會不同，像是一個有聲命的狀態，漸漸衰敗。這個衰敗除了是聽覺上的，甚至視覺與觸覺上也是。
關於空屋系列Vacant Room Series？ 因為曾經想要作與建築有關的事，因此我對結構很感興趣，在空屋這系列的作品中，光與鏡頭的關係組成一個空間內的結構， 光的繞圓與結構空間的關係。如同衛星與行星的繞行關係，空屋（一）運用光與鏡頭的相對關係，進行縮時攝影，每移動一次 光源就要記下所有的角度位置，並作記號。空屋（二）則是在繞行角度上加上傾斜的概念，像是小時候繪圖用的萬花尺，繞圓 的中心會移動，結構的透視感就會有強烈變化，產生逼近與遠離的關係。空屋（三）glise Vide則是今年六月在法國駐村的作 品，更逼近空間的概念，選擇教堂作為主角是因為它包含了特殊符號在內，充滿了神祕且神聖的氣氛，也與未來感的未知感相 互扣合。
圍繞光，時間，空間的作品 小時候其實想要當建築師，因此產生許多結構的想法，將時間與空間結構化，就有點像建築師在測量空間一樣。作品像是在紀 錄著光的美一個瞬間，丁建中覺得要作光的雕塑，如果只是去造一個燈管，發光的圓圈，與紀錄光的美一個瞬間在空間中的位 置，然後堆疊起來形成的，是很不一樣的，
用攝影來創作的原因？ 許多人雕塑的時候都是用物質去雕塑，透過鏡頭去紀錄時間與空間來作雕塑，是一個很難掌控的狀態，但這個狀態又是一個很 現場表演的的狀態，另外自動測光使環境閃爍，也是一個在現場執行中無法預測的，像這樣的無法掌握，就是這種創作媒材的 表情。
執行過程中的趣事？ 在黑暗中工作有些可怕，每個環境都有不一樣的困難，尤其教堂在架設腳架的 時候，必須越過椅子，相較之下比較辛苦，而有些場地的廢棄物很多，讓畫面 產生晃動的感覺，這些許多的不完美或許才是作品的靈魂，因為這樣的類似光的軌跡的影像，其實也可用動畫製成，但就失去 了現場的感覺。失誤會變成有趣的驚喜。
發靈感的事物？ 極限音樂飛利浦葛拉絲，他用一個單音作一首音樂，非常單一，和一般流行or搖滾音樂不一樣，他沒有情緒也沒有起承轉合， 和我的作品有類似之處。

Su Yi Liang just moved his studio to Neihu, ten minutes away from Abook Studio. The white walls and simple structures of his new space make it bright, yet warm and inviting. Su insists on a simple décor which is contrastingly different than his usual self (he usually dresses in mysterious black attire). His former studio lacked sunshine because he’s sensitive to light. Su says, “darkness to me is safe and comfortable, much like sleeping under my blanket on a cold winter night”

What’s your take on the magazine publishing industry? To do what you want to do and to photograph in the way you like requires independency from magazine companies; this independency you must fight for and sometimes compromise. If you are met with something you don’t like, you have to find ways to solve the problem. The magazine itself needs to have it’s own style, theme, and principle. It must be a leader and encompass educational elements and social responsibility. Magazines shouldn’t just be about satisfying the client or merely following market trends.
