穿越硫磺霧氣我們再度無所畏懼

馬地伊山．布藍德

石膏、粘土、噴漆、3D圖像，2011

我為台北數位藝術中心(DAC)所創作的作品《穿越硫磺霧氣我們再度無所畏懼》是由許多元素之間的對話及互動所組成，並且由各種設計，歷史，新生代文化和我周圍的環境擷取其原始材料。
我們的目的在於結合並發揮作品的元素，以達成意想不到的連結。這些不同的物體、意象、圖案和形狀，代表著抽象和互相衝擊的情境、觀點與徵象。 副屬結構體的裝飾和設計則與新生代文化趨勢和裝潢設計相關聯，並且概括不同種類的物件，包括石膏、粘土、噴漆和3D圖像。
在我架構為台北數位藝術中心的作品取向，採去的態度是輕鬆的、直覺的。這樣的觀點，成為我嘗試婉轉的正式化作品的視覺語言要素。有時這會變得複雜或如象形文字一般，卻也提供了詮釋和意念的空隙。在主題作品旁，有一組懸吊、糾纏著的物品和植物，一個簡易動能的穿插，以及一個壁畫，並以零散片段的方式，套用了我柏林工作室中的空間元素 — 這是由一個原先作為BVG (柏林運輸公司)員工盥洗室所改裝的—我的工作室十分普通， 就是瓷磚地板和牆壁，然而這些卻以令人意外的青翠色彩，於這個地點、這個用途的地方，造就了藍綠色調的抽象圖案。
我工作室的主題，和至展覽場的轉移並未完全實踐，只是稍稍意味了: 創造一個開放以及實驗氛圍的空間，隱喻著創作成形過程的心理空間。有許許多多的事情發生，一個想法的渦輪、形式、物件、影像紛飛並拼湊著繽紛圍繞的抽象套譜。

Piercing Through the Sulfur Fumes We Are All Feeling Audacious Again

Matti Isan Blind

Casts, clays, graffiti and 3D images,2011

For the DAC Taipei I developed the work 'Piercing through the sulfur fumes we are all feeling audacious again', which is made up of various elements communicating and interacting with each other drawing its resources from design, history, youth culture and my immediate surroundings.
The intention is to combine and to play off the elements of the work, to make unexpected connections. The various objects, images, patterns and shapes refer to situations, observations and signs which are abstracted and clashing with each other. The support structures are ornamented and designed relating to tendencies in youth culture and furniture design and hosts a variety of objects including casts and clays, graffiti and 3D images.
My approach in developing the works for DAC Taipei  is to be light-hearted and intuitive in my attempt to zigzag, to play with my formal vocabulary, which at times can become complex and hieroglyphic, opening gaps of opportunities for interpretation and intention. Alongside the main work are a number of others, a dangling entangled collection of objects, plants, a low tech kinetic intervention and a wall drawing, which in a fragmentary manner picks up elements of my studio space in Berlin - housed in  one of the former washrooms for the workers of the BVG (Berlin Transport Company) -  my studio is anything but neutral, made up of tiled floors and walls, which are cut in an unexpectedly lush way for such a location and purpose, featuring abstract patterns in hues of green and blue.
