研討主題 MAIN THEME|風土與前衛 The “Envelope” of Life, and the “Push”

「勇踏前人未至之境」-寇克艦長,星艦迷航記

摘自寇克艦長所說的這句話正是現代性興起後一種不容質疑的意識形態。追隨著「前衛」兩個字,創新可以不計代價。在現今社會,「創新」更以挑戰極限為名,過度製造不必要的產品,已然把我們帶到生態浩劫的邊緣。
儘管多數的既有發明依舊作用良好,設計領域卻堅決追求新穎設計。我們身處的這個時代,「前衛」的態度,究竟在回應哪些與生命以及在地生活相關的真實需求?因循於熟悉的舊路?亦或掙脫舊習, 開拓新徑, 這兩者之間的關係究竟為何?
風土這個概念,對中國人而言,並不等同於地域主義那種輕描淡寫的地理學名詞,而是被運用於在地生活的宇宙觀。因此,它指涉一種「恆變」的現象,建構「自然」,並將文化與生活納入其中。風土,被生活所包覆,也包覆生活。風土界定、限定了包括物質與非物質的真實生活元素,也被這些元素所保護。
「前衛」這個名詞的涵義、關聯、價值和功能的探討,構成了現今設計領域的核心問題。然而一如遍佈全球的科技發展,「前衛」的意識形態也幾乎抹滅了發展「在地性」的可能性。在這樣的狀態下,當今廣受科技影響(以及為科技而科技的誘惑)的設計領域,是否還有可能試圖邁向「前衛」,並以此超越當代設計的成就與風土概念的豐富性?

2014實踐大學設計學院國際設計研討會將在「風土」的脈絡下探討「前衛」的價值及其角色。

“To boldly go where no man has gone before.” – Captain James T. Kirk, Star Trek

What Captain Kirk says is, and has been, the unquestioned ideology of modernity since the beginning of its rise. It is, thus, by necessity, the motto of the so-called “avant-garde” – innovation at all costs.
But today, innovation, in the name of “pushing the envelope,” has brought us to the brink of ecological disaster through over-production of unnecessary things.
And yet, the field of design continues to uphold the value of constantly making new things, even when the old things are still working fine. Innovation for the sake of newness.
What exactly is the demand of our time such that “avant-garde” actually has relevance to life, to local life? What is the relationship between the sub-merged life of stale routine and repetition, and the struggle to e-merge from it, to open a new path?
The Chinese concept of 風土 (wind-earth) does not mean just “regionalism” as some insipid geographical abstraction; it is a vital “cosmological” concept applied at the regional level of life. As such, it points to the phenomenon of Change within Stability that “structures” not only nature, but the pattern of cultural life within it, at the LOCAL level of the settled land. It is something like, “enveloped” and ”enveloping” life – defined, limited, but also protected by the elements that saturates the reality of life – physical and cultural.
The question of “avant-garde” – its meaning, relevance, value, function – constitutes the central problem for all the design fields today, as our globally distributed technology has removed us all from the very possibility of retaining the meaning of anything “local” in any meaningful way. So then, is it possible, or even desirable to be an “avant-garde” in the design field today when technology, and the temptation to use it for its own sake, remains many steps ahead of what design and local sensibilities can do?

This 2014 SCU Conference will address the issue of the value and role of the “avant-garde” in the context of 風土 (wind-earth).
