《變形記》的悲劇從主角葛雷戈變形成蟲作為開端，卡夫卡經由刻畫身體及空間使用經驗的變化，細膩地勾勒出形變的事實及主觀感知的認同過程，漸進地帶出世界及他者意義的扭曲，由此營造出工業資本主義社會極端驚悚詭譎的劇情張力。
形變是藝術創作的根本技術。藝術家經由對於日常生活和隨手可得媒材的重新排列組合與同質異構，在反差中創造出某種感知經驗與審美的疏離，藉以重新連結個人與當下社會情境的關係與意識。這種重塑的技術迫切地指向空間生產的重新想像與打造，而非是一種偽科學式的跟隨或者工具性的視覺化。詩性的批判沒法讓人遠離人類中心主義，但得以通過載體的重新構築，創造新的社會關係。
河南8號延續一貫的派對調性與對於技術的探索，邀請那些北漂的高雄青年及寄居高雄的異鄉遊子，經由移動與往來的身體經驗中，藉諸形變提出對於在地的另類論述。三樓的展場從社會互動的重新陶鑄開始，載記河南8號過往如何經由玩樂帶出抽象空間的矛盾與他者的可能性；二樓的展場聚焦身體感知的形變，藉以重新理解地域性地景感知變化及社會議題；一樓展場則從異星生物與賽伯格的想像中，重新窺探國族與網絡的另一種地理歷史敘事。
建築是構建世界的技術，享樂並不單單是片刻的空間經驗，更加指向一種市民權利空間實踐的能動性。《技術變形記》從三層樓的透天公寓開始，經由技術的重新發明，由生生萬物帶出不同的生產模式與社會關係。這是河南8號二年來希望帶給高雄的耕耘，也是藝術家與在地社會交換性實踐的階段性實驗體現。

? 河南8號
二層樓半的舊透天，座落於市中心與交通節點鄰近學院的住宅巷弄中。起初以共同工作室與替代空 間作為想像，聚集學院色彩鮮明的七位成員，除了提供集體安居的所在，也滿足自身與他人的展覽及各式活動需求。成員分別來自不同專業背景，也各自具備極端相異的各式性格。我們抱持中性、開放的態度，讓許多的可能性於「河南8號」發生，嘗試創造在此匯集的日常與交錯的記憶，同時也承載經由鄰里和移動軌跡交互錯綜的繁雜多彩。
「河南8號」名稱直指地方，搭配非白非黑的灰牆作為內部基調，凸顯成員期許空間未被定義的中性狀態。2018年底，從鄰里派對「要不要來我家聊藝術」開始，以一個開放的共享派對，給予空間 多方的思考可能。2019年初，替代展場著手運營，除了成員集體策劃的展覽，也提供給各類型創作者申請，一年多來已積累十餘檔各類型的展演活動。 因應遠方突如其來的接連請求，「來去高雄住一晚(One Night in Kaohsiung)」交換計畫孕育而生。以柄谷行人的D型交換作為模型，河南8號提供前往高雄參觀藝文展演活動或者進行藝術工作的 朋友們一個短暫歇息的角落，期待來訪的朋友們以自身經驗分享、工作坊或展演活動的舉辦作為交換，不僅作為在貨幣資本主義經濟系統宰制底下的一個嘗試，也期待透過這樣的方式在高雄建立起 一個開放的在地交流網絡。

The tragedy of Metamorphosis begins with the transformation of the protagonist, Gregor, into vermin. Kafka details the fact of metamorphosis and the recognition process of subjective perception by depicting the changes in experiences of body and the use of space, and gradually introduces the twisted meanings of the world and others, creating strange and horrifying dramatic tension of the industrial capitalist society.
Metamorphosis is the essential technique of art creation. Through rearrangement and reassembly, as well as different structures of same materials, artists use those media commonly found in daily life to create a certain alienation of perceptive experience and aesthetics within the contrast, reconnecting the relationship and awareness between individuals and the contemporary society. This re-shaping technique desperately points to reimagination and building of spatial production, rather than pseudo-scientific following or instrumental visualization. Poetic criticism cannot distant people from anthropocentrism, but creates new social relationship through reconstruction of vehicles.
Henan 8 continues its usual party-like tone and technical exploration, inviting young people from Kaohsiung living in northern Taiwan, and those from other places living in Kaohsiung, to put forth alternative discourses of locality through their physical experiences of moving and travelling. The gallery on 3F begins with rebuilding of social interaction, chronicling Henan 8’s past, and how it presents the contradiction of abstract space and possibilities of others through playing; the second-floor gallery focuses on the metamorphosis of physical perceptions, in order to reinterpret the changes in perceptions of reginal landscapes and social issues; the first-floor gallery reexamines through imagination of aliens and cyborgs another geographical and historical narrative of nationality and network.
Architecture is the technique of constructing the world; enjoyment is not just momentary spatial experience, but refers to a kind of agency of spatial practices that is a right of citizens. Technological Metamorphosis begins with a three-story house, and through technological reinvention, it presents different production models and social relationships through living beings. This is what Henan 8 strived for Kaohsiung over the past two years, as well as a phased experimental manifestation of artists︎ exchange with the local society.

? About Henan 8
Located in the cultural district of downtown Kaohsiung, Henan8 is a two-and-one-half-story old
townhouse surrounded by lanes, alleys and locals. Starting with the imagination of co-working studio and alternative space, encountering in academic, seven like-minded friends gathered round to build up a secret base in order to fulfill their own dwelling as well as to meet the demand of making exhibitions and hosting lectures or panel discussions for the others. Although members are highly homogenous, we enjoy diversity. We hold a neutral and open attitude, allowing many possibilities to occur in Henan8, trying to create these multi-colored daily life with neighborhood and those memories which have been interwoven by interactions and traces.
Named for the address, Henan8 indicates the term “placemaking” in geographical context. The dark gray painting inside the house represents the concept “space as a container which commit local community to imminent inclusion without any specific definition.” At the end of 2018, the first opening event we held was a party called “Would you like to talk about art at my place?” As a party, it announced the upcoming jouissance which would be set up on the basis of sharing and openness. Till the beginning of 2019, alternative exhibition space began to operate. Besides the exhibitions curated by the members, it also offered to various types of artists and cultural for application. During the past two years, there have been more than one dozen of different exhibitions and events.
To respond to abruptly coming request, the project “One Night in Kaohsiung” is nurtured. Inspired by Karatani Kojin’s concept of Mode D, we offer a simple but cozy room for those who shortly visiting in Kaohsiung for exhibitions or cultural activities. Instead of the boring monetary system, we encourage people who organize a sharing talks, a workshop, or even a performance in return. It’s not only an attempt to break the domination of contemporary capitalism society but also an engagement to build up an open exchange network through the above efforts in our harbor city, Kaohsiung.
