马凌画廊很荣幸地宣布艺术家杨嘉辉凭借作品《消音状况之二十二：消音柴可夫斯基第五号交响曲》（2018）荣获2019奥地利电子艺术大奖-电子音乐和声音艺术组别优异奖！
受第21届悉尼双年展、香港视觉艺术中心和香港艺术推广办事处委托，杨嘉辉创作了《消音状况之二十二：消音柴可夫斯基第五号交响曲》，是系列作品《消音状况》的最新延续。该系列作品自2014年起开始创作，着重于我们日常生活中被掩盖被忽视的种种瞬间以及不易被察觉的声音。目前，这一系列场景共22部，包括已公开演出过的《消音状况之五：消音合唱团》(2016)和《消音状况之七：消音拳击比赛》(2017)。
在《消音状况之二十二：消音柴可夫斯基第五号交响曲》中，杨邀请了来自科隆的Flora Sinfonie乐队演奏完整的柴可夫斯基第五号交响曲。不寻常的是，管弦乐队被要求以“消音”的方式来演奏，即弱化乐曲中的前景高音来突显演奏中因身体动作而产生的声音，例如音乐家专注的呼吸声、翻动乐谱的声音或是按压乐器键盘的声音。
关于这种消音的过程，杨是这么阐述的：“消音演奏并不是什么都没做。相反，消音是对听觉的一种全神贯注的再想象和重构。它是一种对主流声音在意识层面的弱化和压制，从而去发掘被忽视的边缘化的声音，进而对听觉和声音作出更为清晰的假设。”当小提琴本应尖锐的声音未被完全演奏出来时，观众的预期被扰乱，意兴未满的同时更觉荒谬。通过这一情景试验，杨试图向观众展示“消音”能够让我们发现被噪音掩盖的另一层现实。
| 关于奥地利电子艺术大奖
奥地利电子艺术大奖是目前历史最为悠久的媒体艺术大赛。该奖项共分为三个级别的奖项：金尼卡奖（Golden Nica）、优异奖（Distinction）和荣誉奖（Honourary Mentions）。获奖者不仅有可能获得令人梦寐以求的金尼卡雕像、高达10,000欧元的丰厚奖金，还可以获得在林茲举办的世界知名奥地利电子艺术节上展示其艺术创作的机会。
该奖项是由奥地利电子艺术中心联合创始人李奥波塞德（Hannes Leopoldseder）在1987年发起。在成立之初，奖项类别为“电脑图像”、“电脑动画”以及“电子音乐”三大组别。随后，多个奖项组别被依次加入：1990年，“互动艺术”；1998年，特为孩童和年轻人设立的奖项“19岁以下”；2004年，“电子社群”；2007年，“混合艺术”和2019，“人工智能和生活艺术”。在2014年，奥地利电子艺术大奖进行了史上最大的一次革新，引入了金尼卡雕塑授予媒体艺术先锋，并重组合并出全新的两组奖项类别，一组是“人工智能和生活艺术”和“电子音乐和声音艺术”，另一组是“互动艺术”和“电子社群”，此两组共4个类别均为两年颁发一次。历届奥地利电子艺术大奖获奖者来自多个领域，其中有国际知名的艺术家，如卡尔赫因兹·施托克豪森、罗伊·阿斯科特、林恩·赫什曼、岩井俊雄/坂本龙一、克里斯·康宁汉/艾费克斯双胞胎等；也有奥斯卡奖获得者，如约翰·雷斯特和克里斯·兰德雷斯；还有极具才华的青年开拓者，如涂鸦研究实验室。
今年的奥地利电子艺术大奖赛事共收到来自82个国家的3256份竞赛作品。金尼卡奖得主将会参加2019奥地利电子艺术节，共同庆祝这一盛事的四十周年。此外，部分精选的获奖作品还将在于OK O? Kulturquartier举办的数码艺术展览中展出，同时所有的获奖者将在Prix论坛上参与讨论各自的艺术理念和创作项目。

Edouard Malingue Gallery is delighted to announce that Samson Young won the Award of Distinction in Digital Musics & Sound Art of the 2019 Prix Ars Electronica for his work Muted Situation #22: Muted Tchaikovsky’s 5th (2018).
Commissioned by the 21st Biennale of Sydney, the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre, and the Hong Kong Art Promotion Office, Muted Situation #22: Muted Tchaikovsky’s 5th (2018) is the latest iteration of the “Muted Situation”, a Young’s ongoing series since 2014 foregrounding the masked or unobserved moments that take place in our everyday experience. By consciously ‘muting’ the sonic foreground, the less-commonly noticed layers are revealed. Young has written a series of short instructional texts describing hypothetical situations, to draw attention to unnoticed sounds. For now, twenty-two scenarios of this project have been made, including Muted Situation #5: Muted Chorus for Kunsthalle (2016) and Muted Situation #7: Muted Boxing Match (2017) which Young has already staged.
For Muted Situation #22: Muted Tchaikovsky’s 5th (2018), Young invites the Flora Sinfonie Orchester in Cologne to perform Tchaikovsky’s 5th Symphony in its entirety. The orchestra, however, has been asked to ‘mute’ the musical notes, suppressing the pitched foreground layer of the composition and bringing forth the sounds produced by physical actions in a performance – the musicians’ focused breath, the turning of pages, or the clicking noises of the instruments’ keys.
On the process of muting, Young writes: ‘... muting is not the same as doing nothing. Rather, the act of muting is an intensely focused re-imagination and re-construction of the auditory. It involves the conscious suppression of dominant voices, as a way to uncover the unheard and the marginalised, or to make apparent certain assumptions about hearing and sounding.’ The process has the effect of disrupting the viewer’s expectations; when the piercing shriek of a violin fails to come forth, it feels anticlimactic, ridiculous even. Young’s situational experiments reveal what is suppressed, enabling us to become aware of another layer of reality underneath the noise.
| About Prix Ars Electronica
The Prix Ars Electronica is the world’s most time-honored media arts competition. Winners are awarded the coveted Golden Nica statuette, prize money ranging up to € 10,000 per category and an opportunity to showcase their talents at the famed Ars Electronica Festival in Linz.
The Prix Ars Electronica was launched in 1987 by Ars Electronica co-founder Hannes Leopoldseder. The categories at the outset were Computer Graphics, Computer Animation and Computer Music. In 1990, Interactive Art enhanced the array. A category especially for kids and young people was introduced in 1998. A prize for Digital Communities and [the next idea] voestalpine Art and Technology Grant premiered in 2004, followed by Hybrid Art in 2007 and Artificial Intelligence & Life Art in 2019. The Prix Ars Electronica’s most recent innovations came in 2014 with the introduction of a Golden Nica honoring the Visionary Pioneers of Media Art, and the reconfiguration of two pairs of categories—Artificial Intelligence & Life Art and Digital Musics & Sound Art; Interactive Art and Digital Communities—which now alternate in a biennial rhythm. The Prix’s highly diversified dramatis personae has included internationally renowned artists (Karlheinz Stockhausen, Roy Ascott, Lynn Hershman, Toshio Iwai / Ryuichi Sakamoto, Chris Cunningham / Aphex Twin), Oscar winners (John Lasseter, Chris Landreth) and creative young trailblazers (Graffiti Research Lab).
This year, the Prix Ars Electronica received a total of 3,256 entries from 82 countries. The Golden Nicas will be presented at the Ars Electronica Festival 2019 in Linz,Austria, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. A selection of the best works from this year’s Prix Ars Electronica will be presented in the CyberArts exhibition at OK O? Kulturquartier, while all winners will discuss their artistic perspectives and projects in the Prix Forums.
