作品簡介 Introduction

時空穿越系列：超逼真

超逼真

社群網站tumblr在2018年12月17日更改其社群規定，禁止呈現真人性器官或者女性裸露的乳頭，以及包括攝影效果極為逼真而可被誤以為是真人的（成人）內容。結果，眾多「大頭貼照」因為帳號上傳未被允許的內容，而被竄改成彩色色塊。

同時，由於演算力的突飛猛進，以及人工智能的進展，“Deepfake”這類的技術製造出非真實存在的爭議「攝影」圖像。這些影像也遭封鎖。

攝影在此面臨了「雙重否定」－既不能是假的，又不能來真的。

Tumblr上這些被壓縮破壞的大頭貼圖像，我看作當下文化的「肖像」。我將這些馬賽克色塊截圖收集，並進行編修，作為研究成果。

時空穿越是藝術家陳斌華進行的展覽實踐，藝術家將在法律許可的範圍內，逐漸將其作品拋棄依著作權法享有之權利，包括所有相關與鄰接的法律權利，並宣告將該著作貢獻至公眾領域。因此，所有人可以複製、修改、發布或展示這些作品，亦可進行商業利用，完全不需要經過許可(CC0授權)。 

Time Travel: So Photorealistic 

So Photorealistic 

In 17 December 2018, social networking website Tumblr changed its community guideline, banning (adult) contents that “show real-life human genitals or female-presenting nipples, including contents that “so photorealistic that it could be mistaken for featuring real-life humans.” As a result, tons of “profile pictures” got manipulated into colorful mosaics since these accounts published forbidden contents. 

On the other hand, with dramatically increasing computing power and progressing artificial intelligence, techniques such as “Deepfake” can generate controversial “photographic” contents that actually never existed in real world. These images also got banned from social networking websites . 

Photography, in this case, has been put into a double negative situation— it should not be fake, but cannot depict real. 

I make screenshots to collect these lossy compressed profile pictures on Tumblr, retouch and modify these “portraits”, as my study of this era. 

Time Travel 

Time Travel is an exhibition practice in which artist Chen Pinhua will gradually dedicate his art works to the public domain by waiving all of his or her rights to the work worldwide under copyright law, including all related and neighboring 

rights, to the extent allowed by law. Thus, everyone can copy, modify, distribute and perform those works, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission(CC0 License).

《SHOWCASE 計劃》

SHOWCASE 是一個由澳門年輕創作者發起的活動計劃，旨在推動澳門當代視覺藝術文化風氣並給予年輕創作者平台展示作品。SHOWCASE 原則上以季度為單位進行活動，並以特約形式邀請來自不同地方的視覺藝術創作者，以微型個展的形式進駐澳門各個非傳統藝術展場，讓創作能夠更貼地走入生活。我們同時亦期許能透過創作者與觀眾的分享與討論，使當代視覺藝術文化植根澳門，製造一片能探索各種藝術可能性的土壤。
