“空气指数”这是个非常时髦的当代环境监控名词,每天都会出现在大城市的气象播报中。但是很少有人会真根据空气指数情况改变自己的行动习惯。对于身处某种糟糕环境中的人来说,这数据知道与否其实毫无意义,它只是一种姿态。那么,当代艺术如何避免有意无意地退化为空气指数式的存在?无论如何,艺术家们的沉默或回应注定是耐人寻味的。
"Air Quality Index" is a fashionable term in contemporary environmental monitoring, a daily fixture in metropolitan weather reports. Yet, few genuinely alter their routines based on its readings. For those trapped in adverse conditions, this data—whether known or not—is essentially meaningless; it's merely a gesture. So, how can contemporary art avoid devolving, intentionally or not, into an existence akin to the Air Quality Index? In any case, the silence or response of artists is bound to be profoundly thought-provoking.
