『塔羅斯 篇章初見』唐唐個展

意識畫廊 2023 年的首次展覽將推出唐唐以機器人型為創作主軸的全新作品，這系列作品從2018年開始出現，不斷在唐唐腦海中演變，別於2016年個展『我們，記憶的想念』，是對過去不曾逝去時光記憶的喚醒，『塔羅斯 篇章初見』是關於未來記憶的設定，希臘神話中金屬巨人的塔羅斯，在一次戰役中流光神族的血而死，未來被有著模擬人類思想的晶圓重啟而甦醒，人性漸漸深植塔羅斯體內，於是機器與人再也無法分離。

19世紀人工智慧只是科幻小說與神話中的虛構情節，二十世紀機器人也只是電影中的虛擬3D影像，而今我們卻已置身其中，當時作者對未來的想像可說不是想像，而是對未來記憶的擷取。

此次展出作品中，唐唐靈感多來自古典雕刻、動畫以及電影中那些令唐唐深深著迷的元素，他將這種奇異的感受化為實際的形體，呈現如文學、電影與動畫的奇幻感，將「機器」、「人」的意象，透過拆解再重塑成科技與人的形體，其似有若無的情緒轉化，呈現亦古亦今的文明「神話」與「傳說」。 

Yesart Gallery is pleased to present our first exhibition in 2023 with Tang Tang’s brand new series. The brand-new series of works takes the humanoid robot as the main axis. These concepts have emerged since 2018 and have been constantly evolving in his mind. Different from the 2016 solo exhibition “ What we shared, nostalgia ” which awaken the memories of the past never passed away, the “Tarws” is about setting up of future memories.

Tarws, the metal giant in Greek mythology, bleed to death in a battle. In the future, he was awakened by a chip that simulates human thoughts. Since then, humanity has gradually been deeply rooted in Tarws. Machines and humans can no longer be separated.

In the 19th century, artificial intelligence was only a fiction. Robots in the 20th century were also just virtual 3D images in movies. But now, we are already put ourselves in the midst of it. Tang Tang’s imagination of the future is more like the retrieval of future memories. His inspirations for these works mostly come from classical sculpture, animations, and elements in movies that fascinate him. Tang Tang transformed this strange feeling into an actual form, presenting a sense of fantasy such as literature, movies and animations. He disassembles the imagery of “machine” and “human” and reshaped them into technology and humanoid forms. His seemingly invisible transformation of emotions presents the "myths" and "legends" of ancient and modern civilization.
