论坛Panel|酷儿未来,幻觉现在 Queer Futurism, Fantastic Nowness

论坛概要 Panel Introduction

“现在是什么时辰了?”我们经常这样问。而对于郑淑丽的作品UKI,我们更好奇“酷儿时间”几点了。作为其作者的“科幻新酷儿电影三部曲”终结篇,影片描绘的混沌年代似乎契合着现在。哲学家保罗·普雷西亚多更评论说淑丽的作品Fluidø乃是用未来作为当下的寓言。而病毒、AI、机器人、无政府主义、电脑游戏、深度伪造等等话题都可能与酷儿议题交织。这次在影片UKI放映之后首先将艺术家的问答作为座谈的一部分,更将邀请另外两位艺术家与学者嘉宾一同探讨一下已然幻觉的当下,以及值得被酷儿化的未来。

“What time is it now?” we often ask ourselves. But Shu Lea Cheang’s UKI makes us wonder: what is the “queer time”? As the third film in the author’s “Sci-fi New Queer Cinema,” it depicts a chaotic future in an intense cinematic language. Philosopher Paul B. Preciado commented that Shu Lea’s work Fluidø uses the future as an allegory for the present. Topics such as viruses, AI, robots, anarchism, computer games, deepfakes, and more intersect with queer issues. After the screening of UKI, the artist’s Q&A will be part of the discussion, and two guest artists and scholars will be invited to fantasize the nowness  and queer the future together.
