2024 MUTEK Montréal
非常高兴能与大家分享我们最近在@mutekmontreal 2024 演出的视听现场照片。对我和刘晓江而言，这是一个等待已久的回归时刻。因为我们的演出原计划是 2020 年在 Mutek 举行，但由于种种原因而推迟了。但在今年我们终于能够与来自世界各地的一些老朋友重聚，并结识了许多新朋友，共创更多艺术的可能性。感谢 Mutek 团队付出，同时也很高兴有这么多喜欢我们作品的观众！

<Palindrome Codex>是一件视听装置作品，它挑战了线性时间概念，编织了一幅身临其境的挂毯，在这里，人们既可以正向体验时间的流动，也可以反向体验时间的流动。这件作品从萨托方碑神秘的几何图形中汲取灵感，创造出令人着迷的视听景观。它利用创新的人工智能技术，制作出闪烁、错乱的视觉效果，并与复古未来主义元素和精心创作的配乐交织在一起，与装置的永恒主题产生共鸣。
<Palindrome Codex> is an audio-visual installation that challenges the notion of linear time, weaving an immersive tapestry where one can experience the flow of time both forwards and backwards. The work draws inspiration from the enigmatic geometry of the Sartor Square monument to create a mesmerising audio-visual landscape. It utilises innovative artificial intelligence techniques to produce shimmering, dislocated visuals, interwoven with retro-futuristic elements and an elaborate soundtrack that resonates with the timeless themes of the installation.

除了艺术表现形式之外，<Palindrome Codex> 还是对时间和存在的深刻探索。通过将古老的象征意义与尖端技术相融合，它提供了一种反思和超越的体验，在这种体验中，开始与结束融为一体，成为一个永恒的连续体。作为新媒体艺术无限创造力和智慧深度的证明，这件装置作品给人留下了难忘的印象，吸引观众去思考时间和永恒的奥秘。
Beyond artistic expression, <Palindrome Codex> is a profound exploration of time and existence. By fusing ancient symbolism with cutting-edge technology, it offers a reflective and transcendent experience in which beginnings and endings merge into a timeless continuum. As a testament to the infinite creativity and intellectual depth of new media art, this installation leaves an unforgettable impression and draws the viewer into contemplating the mysteries of time and eternity.
< Palindrome Codex 回文法典> 突破了在现场视听演出中使用科技的界限。灵感来自萨托方碑——一个古代记录的物理回文符号——该作品探索了人工智能、故障视觉效果和复杂几何图形的交汇，并伴随着电子室内乐的配乐。在一个反复出现的时钟指引下，观众经历了一场穿越时间的旅程，游历于摩天大楼、古代城市、旋转的迷宫楼梯以及其他复古未来主义的场景。演出以平静和沉思的氛围结束，令观众深思时间这一概念。
With their Palindrome Codex show, the Hong Kong-based duo pushed the boundaries of using tech in live settings and audiovisual shows. Inspired by the Sator Square – one of the first documented physical palindromes from ancient times – it explores artificial intelligence with glitchy visuals, strange geometry, and a piece of electronic chamber music. Guided by a reappearing clock, the audience time-traveled through skyscrapers, ancient cities, swirling labyrinthian staircases and other retro-futuristic decor, before a calming and contemplative finish left us thinking about the construct of time itself.
