第3041期:Artist in the field

So this piece called Lalu is probably from about ten years ago, from this body of work kind of looking at fields, the visual of the motion of tall grass and the wind.这个叫“Lalu”的作品大约创作于十年前，出自这个以田野为主题的系列作品，探讨了高草随风摇曳的视觉效果。You never see the wind. You always see the effects of the wind.你看不见风。但是你总能感受到风带来的影响。But also for me is sort of calling to mind of the front end of a harvest or a reaper and the way that this machine enters the field, and sort of cuts the grain down and processes the grain.但对我来说，这让我想起了收割机的前端，以及这台机器进入田地、割倒谷物并加工谷物的方式。I don't think of it as a robot creating art. These are no more robots than just sort of like atoms that are moving through space right now.我不认为这是机器人在创作艺术。它们和此刻在太空中移动的原子没什么两样，称不上是机器人。This is just a sort of device that helps visualize or record that phenomenon. So it appears inorganic that's actually quite organic.这只是一种有助于直观呈现或记录该现象的工具。它看起来是无机的，但实际上是有机的。But the heart of it really is controlled chance that you create a barrier and make some selections in terms of color.但其实它的核心是可控的随机性，你打造一个屏障，并选择一些不同的色彩。Some of my favorite moments are like in the corner. This is like the highway roadmap business of LA.我最喜欢的一些效果往往出现在角落里。这就像洛杉矶的高速公路路线图。The overlay in a lot of cases comes out of more historical narratives.在很多情况下，这种色彩的重叠更多来自于历史叙述。A lot of the philosophical questions that are embedded in the work for me are ancient questions.作品中蕴含的很多哲学问题对我来说都是古老的问题。Where do you go when you die? Or what is the wind? Or where does the wind come from?人死后会去往哪里？风是什么？风是从哪里来的？I'm also very interested in getting out of my routine and seeing the world.我也非常渴望打破常规，去看看这个世界。Remarkable things can be found all over the place, sometimes just up the road from where you live. It's a question of deviating from your normal path. 非凡的事物随处可见，有时就在你居住地附近。关键在于偏离你惯常的路线。
