米兰世博会感想

Blog

总体感受:

展览形式单一,严重依赖投影视频,前瞻性不够。食材呈现大相径庭 审美疲劳。

 世博园区脑残点:

-脑残到只用一个入场口!没有通过大门分流人群,单一的主干道成为交通压力,同时让好多人在院子里只能长途跋涉。

-脑残到把厕所设计到二楼!生怕观众体力太旺盛!男女厕所是典型的意式无盖马桶,隔屁股又不卫生,在这样一个国际环境里不应该保持意大利的陋习.

-脑残到设计园外摆渡车,而且只按顺时针绕园区。多数人都忽略靠走的,增加了园区内的不定向的人流压力。

-脑残到用一个圆和两个波纹代表气泡水!取水点还算够多,但是不写任何语言的标示,陷害了多少不爱和喜爱喝气泡水的人。

-脑残到把斥资巨大的热门场馆聚集在一起,人流得不到整个园区内的涌动,中区的扎堆和西边的冷清鲜明对比,不能很好的配置有限的园区。

各国展馆

1 中国馆-新闻联播中的展销会

建筑外形很独特,有内敛的中国风,但是黑体字偏羸弱,门外的土的掉渣的中国结和福字,让人生腻,更别说室外的低解析度超级大荧幕,让人感觉像社区传销广告屏! 同时说教性很强,神农本草经的拼音直接上,渴望排队良久的人类驻足细读?展场气场不够,抓不住人的眼球,迅速捕捉观众的能力打了折扣。主题凸显不够,巨型的“麦穗”led灯群号称是绝杀,实际展场效果很一般,很生硬,与其说麦穗不如说灯棒,没有让人眼前一亮,看到的只是若干色块。设计感很弱,展示内容觉得更像是普通新闻联播报道中的国内展销会风格。

2 英国馆 不比拼投影仪的另类美学

抓住蜂的主题,透过建筑和第一人称视角阐述蜜蜂对食物链的贡献和价值;

4 法国馆 厨具嘉年华

法国自然是优秀食物的代表。馆内流动屏幕和厨具餐具搭建。各种美食画面都在情理之中。值得一提的是,它只讲法语。

5 以色列 情景对话和到位的讲述

特征很明显,突出科技农业,结合气派的投影,精湛的叙事,让笔者体会到了园区的第一个小高潮。

6 万科馆 一个视频群组胜过中国馆的大费周章

红色菱纹构造出的有机形态。进馆后的字体选择让人知道不是怕脑瓜的官僚之作。徜徉入内,果然竹排中镶嵌着密麻的方形荧幕,主题是现代化进程中的餐饮,节奏和韵律都很吸睛。

7 埃及馆 增强现实企图神秘化

埃及馆用了一些增强现实的技术,一般。

8 美国馆 口号宣言国旗

美国采取流水空间,免去排队时间,内部空间以食物2.0为主题。频繁出现的美国大幅面国旗和巨幅奥巴马报告视频让人觉得冗余生厌。还是用大银幕,触摸屏等传统交互方式,信息内容多显空洞。

9 尼泊尔馆 一个庙完事

排队看他的庙宇,只有藏文经文,没有任何文字介绍。值得特别一提的是世博会有针对尼泊尔的捐款箱。

楼下提供特色酸奶和小笼包子,味道一般。

10 比利时馆 生态现代化

设计很高冷,空间规划考究。巧克力特色彰显无遗,楼下的生态农业装置很值得一看。

11 韩国馆 酱缸里的韩国

以酱缸为主线,特色突出,展品很当代艺术范。空间虽然稀疏,但展品尺度规模不小。其中让人耳目一新的是机器人和巨幅荧幕的3d秀,当然看过https://vimeo.com/album/1747756/video/75260457 的话就知道他们在拷贝,而且没有充分发挥3d的优势。

12 阿塞拜疆 小有情调

门口是一个互动弦乐器,但设计风格略土。楼上空间动线莫名。

13 瑞士馆 饶有兴致的古朴手工

门口的瑞士姑娘竟然用流利的中文告诉我们时间有限不能登塔,但可以观看其他三个展览板块。没想到展览千篇一律的投影和荧幕,采用动态雕塑,不禁让人联想起巴塞尔的Tinguely美术馆。

14 奥地利 呼吸美学和甜品

夜游奥地利馆,清新的甬道和树林,外加地道的奥地利甜品。但似乎和食品没有很大联系。

15 德国馆 关注食品生产

每人发一小册子,上面有识别点,投影便能投影在自己的手掌里面,我觉得意义并不大,而且tracking有延迟。自造微型农场,超市背后的故事,酿造的奇迹等等。有表演,应该不凡,可惜要赶去排队日本馆,果断放弃。

16 日本馆 唯一可进逼满分

建筑有一层外立面,采用榫卯结构,形式感在世博会里面不算吸引眼球的。但排队人数络绎,真的不可小觑。

排队入内,行动基本还是寸移。人们都比较疲倦。入内,日本工作人员统一着装,训练有素,并且很是殷勤。日本馆也是分组参观式。一批四十人。暗黑空间,光怪陆离的汉字书法。紧接着是长方形镜面通道,两侧排布灯光,此布局太司空见惯了,匆匆划过。随后是90度垂直环面交互厅,可以通过扫手机的特制二维码互动,虽然体验一般但是规模和完整度很高。而后有介绍日本餐饮的美食墙,应该是硅胶1比1模型,下面有抽屉呈现细化的信息,做工精美,低科技交互让不少人驻足观赏。最后一个展厅是杀手锏,以未来餐厅(futuristic restaurant)为主题的一个巨大的圆形空间,分布着类似食堂的桌椅,每位置都设置了荧幕、捕捉深度的三维摄像机和用来交互的筷子。表演开始,先叙述不同节令的各样食物,再来奉上各种日本的美食形式,都可以通过筷子的来点选。每四个人还有一个公共的屏幕,呈现火锅和回转寿司等等。整个空间,多媒体设备,设计,大型投影的动画,做工精良,沉浸感很强。可以看得出日本馆投资巨大。

My Yearly Cuisine Review

Blog

Thanks for the great interface culture lab kitchen, I’ve experimented a large variety of dishes in the past year. I’ve also tried and learned from other colleagues. I chose 3 dishes from each month in 2014 and made this collage of cuisine review. Also thanks for the followers in my instagram.

collage

From the milk shake with avocado to fired rice sushi roll;

from spinat Burek to shrimp nuddle;

from coconut cubic dessert to butterfly Spaghetti with broccoli;

from fried lotus stem to Lentils with Sesame;

from first experiment with Bazil and Rosemarry to Braised Eggplant with soyasource;

from plum cake to self-made Dürüm;

from roast lamb to potate stewed with chicken;

from pumpkin source rice and pumpkin skin soup to fried pumpkin seed and baked pumpkin with butter…

I graduatelly mastered the skills to tune the power of the heat, to cut the salad in attractive way, to bake some cake and cookies, to finish cooking 5-color meal in 15 minutes , to cook lunch for 14 people at a time(my personal records)…. Last but not the least how to arrange and cook effectively and efficiently in different situations.

9月15日

准备物品,包括习惯瑞士口音和应急法语

烤制羊肉土豆鸡蛋色拉完成了送别自己的晚餐。

9月16日

凌晨四点到拍摄行程路线图,满载启程。先到萨尔斯堡,然后转汉堡方向的IC列车。未打印车票勉强上了车厢。专门的自行车车厢,必须卸下拖包,根据目的地远近安放。到了Tirol就已经感受到阿尔卑斯的气势。天气一转往日阴雨,放晴中让一切乡村美景成色自然。正午准点到达布雷根茨bregenz,大气的博登湖bodensee一望无际,远处是德国巴伐州。湖边有个湖心剧场,估计也是这里区域文化项目和旅游吸引点。顾不得久留,便踏上去苏黎世的骑行路途。沿湖骑行过不久了hard小城便是奥瑞交界原来莱茵河是他们的界河。瑞士的自行车标识为深红色,指向明确,分为普通线路和山地车线路。大的线路才编号。

#switzerland #laketown #swiss #haar #autum

沿河骑行开始觉得天地单一,但马上上了河延景色丰富,牛羊群落玲玲叮响。不久便发现只要是桥就是边检zoll。由于背包固定不妥,摔把时将背包卷入后轮,刹车前翻左副把戳中大腿中央,整个一大块肌肉淤青,左肘轻微擦伤可忽略。我拍拍屁股,站起来,好在左腿没有伤及骨,休息片刻,便只能慢慢上路了。幸亏穿了锁鞋,此时还能用右脚踩提和左脚提,骑行速度没有大大降低。大概快到列支敦士登的时候瑞士边的群山拔地而起,郁郁葱葱,小镇小桥流水舒适恬谧。随后我选了一个桥来到了列国。列国只有一个城市瓦度次,南北纵横骑了我一个小时,其实就一个小镇。途中和放牛的阿姨攀谈须臾,德文乡音已经难以辨识。借口问路也可以搭讪列国人民,了解小国民众风土人情。人家列国人均gdp赶超瑞士,hdi人类发展指数可是世界前列。

由于首次骑行时间稍有压力,我选择了靠近苏黎世的zielbrucke作为我的目的地。骑穿列国后向西挺进了瑞士联邦境内。拍到了乡村停靠的sbb老火车,车头delogo却还锃亮。两侧山峦拔地而起,陡峭的程度让人不禁想起台湾东海岸,他们北时起时落的云朵包裹着,仙气十足。各种草毯从山脚一直铺到脚下,各种自行车基础设施不露一丝人工气息,自然地融入苍茫的绿景。

#bike #switzerland #lake #thun #interlaken #trip #bicycletouring #idylic #poetic #astonishing

逐渐地,体力下降,挺进了第一个瑞士湖区-。人烟稀少,湖周围有高档公寓群和别墅群。找到了untererseten火车站便决定从这里乘车去苏黎世了。短程的自行车票比自行车天票都贵,所以花了22+18瑞郎买了去苏黎世主站的票。打开车门发现和慕尼黑主站惊人相像。主站出门发现kebab要10瑞郎,都没看其他套餐,但是一杯可乐就四块,霎时间决定了瑞士之行饥肠辘辘的基调。

按照地图摸到了巷子深处的city packer青旅。蹒跚地上了三层才找到reception,和接待员轻聊了一下,了解了瑞士人见面多说grutzi,便商量着把自行车推倒了地下室里面。六人间的屋子却在六层,总体还不错。和宿友简单聊几句倒床便睡。东京的那哥们也说这里很贵,说一个面包一桶水一天就扛过去了。

40火车票

9月17日

天一亮,表一看,六点一刻。洗漱完毕,拿着干粮就去码头看晨光了。回旅馆的路上去coop超市采购干粮,救生用面包高出德国三倍,好在奶制品维持在奥地利的物价水平。9点checkout 拿着车子开始沿路有北向南随机骑行,著名的bahnhof大街也没什么特别,但不得不感谢苹果直营店的wifi,让我即使找到不同的目的地。穿梭在大街小巷,一切都很新奇,努力发现着这座城市的特质:西装革履,贵族气息,交通工具更是一个赛一个,各种豪车除外,有概念车,哈雷摩托,怎么拉风怎么风骚怎么来。逮着个小河,景色咄咄逼人,忍不住组景狂拍。接着,haus konstruktiv博物馆映入眼帘,正在布展,门票14块,要吃人。国家博物馆,貌似一大教堂改建,毗邻火车站,门票10瑞郎,含泪买下,遂入。车子停靠在门口。创下我的记录。有几件馆藏确实很赞。随后转悠苏大和联理两个大学。食堂一顿鹿肉套餐忍痛15瑞郎,回想起来这是我在瑞士唯一一次饮食。

午后骑车绕湖,阳光明媚,懒散地坐在长椅晒太阳,同时用ipad温习法语日常表达。和维也纳类似湖边有个中国庄园,给我一个穿越的机会,结果发现门票5瑞郎,悻悻。苏城贵归贵,但是发现了很多免费公共厕所,耳目一新。折返城内不甘心,搜索去了zhdk苏黎世艺术学院,这是一个设计博物馆,人员告知,zhdk已经搬到toniareal我这才动身赶去。大气的楼宇设计印象深刻。进去一看发现这是和心理科学学院还有areal三所机构共荣的大楼。楼台,休息室,各系所分配,导示设计,建筑空间,楼顶花园,各种室内陈设,花草,一切都是那么helvetica!想找个歇脚的地方,来到了他们图书馆。高规格,大气,书目分类比一般图书馆细化,各种双人讨论室,自习室,阅览室,各类大中型扫描仪器设备一应俱全。本人在媒体艺术专架里面还看到了几本八十年代的古书。离开toniareal我赶到一个朋友推荐的讲座,完毕后享用了简单的自助餐。涉及到炸饺,我很喜欢。

#zhdk #zurich #toniareal #bibliothek #amazing #library

因为晚上要作一个知呼有人的沙发客,他11点才能回宿舍,所以我要在市区带到至少9点。知友家在7公里外的郊区。一骑才发现坡度很大,陡坡有几个。咬牙骑到了目的地。稍许片刻见到了这位收留我的好心知友。简单聊天后洗漱,躺倒便睡。

 

 

9月18日

早晨起来定了luzern的青旅,没想到这位知友还准备了肉排意面大餐。真不愧是意大利读过书,意面味道绝伦,应该是在我味蕾体系排名第一的意面了。查好路线我又匆匆上路了。临别苏黎世临时决定看看mechart lab,等了半天,没人开门,道是楼下的电子杂货铺东西种类齐全,各种年代工艺都有,有中关村的满目琳琅,价格却要十倍以上。吃过闭门羹,我沿河朝西南方向骑去。目的地卢采恩luzern。谷歌指给我的是省道,发现几乎都有自行车虚黄线,前所未有的安全感。各种自行车道遍布乡间瓦舍,田间地头。小镇baar和zug,zuger湖,reuss打气。到ebikon的时候遇到了罕见的migro oulet店,骑进去大大超出预期,食品竟然能打五折,完美的价位让我开心地补足口粮,即不敢买太多,又担心不够吃。杯面备了两份,买了一份蔬菜色拉。进入luzern境内发生了拖链,淡定而从容地用两根树枝修好。顺利提前入驻luzern,车子推入了自行车房。休息片刻,步行游古城墙,看钟塔,游览市中心,pfister家居设计,湖边游荡,购物中心和表行看到好多母语,你就能想象到如此多庞大游客数量。漫步徜徉,遇到一家a l te r ego的艺术书店,一本拉托儿的extenz weisen和metaworx介绍瑞士媒体艺术家的书。卢采恩老城的小木桥很有特色,各种水闸设施古旧迷人,湖叫vierwaldstatter湖。上网,po照片,认识一个美国姐们。热水,泡面,蔬菜色拉,已经很奢侈。

9月19日

照了几张晨光中的卢采恩,乘局内慢车ir前往interlaken,湖光山色,随着iphone对焦点变化而变化甚是微妙的效果随便在车窗一照就是明信片。如果说瑞士是一个婀娜多姿的少女,那么这些连串的琥湖珀便是她的珍珠项链,到interlaken避开喧嚷的旅游团,我沿湖骑行,人烟稀少,看一下表,折返向伯尔尼bern骑。路途不远碰到了lidl超市,价格贵德国不超过百分之二十,于是补给了水果干粮。此时熟悉了道路状况,沿湖骑行乃是一种享受,thuner湖和thun小镇。挺进伯尔尼发现真是一座低调美貌老城。沿河大桥甚是壮阔,没想到突出建筑竟然是赌场。由于当机,失去了青旅坐标,四处寻找wifi,大概问了年轻有网路人,一下子就锁定了搜索目标,顺利checkin。

闲不住的我,放下行李又踏上了探索伯尔尼的路。沿河溯行,看到了纯朴的社区,健身的年轻人,绕城一周,很喜欢这个层次丰富的首都。中心商业街保留中世纪的风貌,钟塔在城中屹立,整点保持会有机械小动物报时。体力不支时发现了今天是伯尔尼双年展开幕,跟着导览大致看了一下作品才回宿舍。半夜被人叫醒,声称预定了对应的床位,很不爽地搬铺被。

9月20日

早晨吃把早餐buffet到撑不说,还偷偷装包带走了中午的口粮。周六同样是好天气,查询到跳蚤市场的具体位置,才出发。   这个跳蚤市场不大, 买了苏黎世自行车挂牌, 买了一些 邮票, 还买了一个扑克牌类似的东西里面装的是一些作曲家, 想说送给 巴塞尔收留我的赵同学。伯尔尼城市规模不算很大,却很有气质。城市基础设施很有品味。国家单位排场很小,门口的广场竟然是菜市场。同样的,骑了不远就到了乡下的农场,小道显得静谧悠然,小河显得自在轻松,踏过一个一人的小桥,来到了典型的瑞士农舍,草垛,牧场。牛畜味道还是此起彼伏。一村接一店,之字小山坡,来到了德法语边境,碰到修车男子,便主动搭讪,男子德法语精通,随我挑选,于是我问长问短,询问附近的状况,当然顺势把水壶给满上。过了不多久,路牌广告位都齐刷刷变成了法语。

接近到Nexpresso公司,发现了一连串的产业园区,还有瑞士的Aldi。 此时正值正午,停在路边铺开餐布,野餐,靠着小柯洗手,发现早晨忘记刷牙于是便在河边刷牙。野餐有早晨偷的火腿面包,无花果,香蕉,美国杏仁,火腿肠。有了果腹之感便抓紧上路。又走了30公里的样子,在一个镇子上看到了大型的跳蚤市场,果断进入。看到SIGG军用饭盒,20块怒买,买了一些纪念章。觉得跳蚤市场一方面可以淘到比较有内涵的本地货色,二来经济实惠,真的庆幸骑车有瑞士,这些难得的机会不请自来。

装好淘到的宝贝上路。过了Payerne就沿着小河Broye骑,天空湛蓝,列阳高照,没有机动车的轰鸣,虽然路面有小石子,却也开心地骑着。不料大概10公里以后便发觉速度提不起来,看看后胎有点异样,觉得没什么,再一回头,已经憋了。糟糕!爆胎了。不慌不忙,拿出修理工具,发现伤口,试着水洗,吹干,上胶,补胎,打气。还是不成。旁边路人过来,询问状况,借给我打气筒。还是不成。此时我觉得要果断送诊,明天没有人上班,所以只能今天!在看手机,竟然报告说因为高温停机了;加上人们都不讲英文和德文,顿时有些发慌。赶紧询问周边能遇到的行人。这时来了一个阿姨。问他火车站。她指我到了她家。她丈夫是个老伯,二话不说,卸下后轮,本以为他有办法修理,只听他用蹩脚的德文和我讲说,开车送车轮到附近镇子上修。我连忙 “麦禾溪不哭” 于是我们就上路了。路上用德文赶紧问了问风土人情,老伯是巴黎人来瑞士定居已然半个世纪。镇子不近,是我刚刚路过的Payerne,行车15分钟来到了Migro旗下的建筑超商,老伯很熟悉地形,直接送胎到位,选里胎外胎,片刻修理,付款,走人。真的没想到这么顺利就把一个难题解决了。老伯称赞我环奇瑞士和讲德语厉害。我鞠躬谢过,拍了留念照片,便上了路。此时天气和心情一样好,挺老伯说还有50公里。

这回我选择了非小石子的国道。法语区国道除了少数路段都没有虚黄线,顿时让我捏了一把汗。30公里的时候就上坡,一个上坡接一个,只有很缓的下坡来奖赏我的大腿。此时推车子上坡,汗液导致盐分流失,身体缺水肚子也空空,已经在挑战自己的极限了。从包里摸出一包果脯,分分钟把它干掉,糖分的补充又让身子有了点力气。翻了两座小山沟,又并入了国道。看看谷歌地图,还有十公里,这对平时训练根本不算事,可是在这样的条件下,我开始想搭车办法。看到前方有一个加油站,觉得是不是一个好机会伺机等候,不料等了15分钟也没有等到一辆加油的车。我看到前方有人来,于是过马路对面,询问母女俩人,不出所料,只说法语,我用我蹩脚的法语单词问:la rue lausanne.. 胳膊上 or 下。她们立即答道:上,用手比划了一下骑车动作,意思需要很强壮才可以去洛桑。走路都费劲的我下定决心拦车。回到马路对面,在辅路路口等候。琢磨着把车前轮拆了,假装车坏了,博取人家的同情。拆轮子期间错过一俩上好的面包车。心想:嗨再等呗。说时迟那时快,左侧飘来一辆奔驰三厢,S级轿车,定睛一看是个中东风格的父女俩人,后面还有一个宝宝。拦下,小姑娘竟然说德语,喜出望外,赶紧说明理由,声明目的地也就前方洛桑10公里的样子,开车的父亲短暂思考了一下,毅然答应了。搬来车子,卸下驮包,塞到了大大的后备箱里。上路。怎么都没想到这竟然是今天第二次坐私家车。头一回坐三厢奔驰,宽敞明亮,只见司机快手输入我的目的地,车载导航十分明晰,音乐响起。顿时感佩,人间好人多,感谢司机,感谢科技,感谢马达,让这么高密度的劳动力可以在15分钟之内完成。到了婉童宿舍底下。一年多后的重逢,他乡故知,有了熟人接应,自是省心大半。与其男友肉宴招待,感激涕零,大碗米饭瞬移到了肚子。各种聊天了解当地风土人情和学习生活至深夜。


way to #laussane #frechswitzerland #bike

9月21日

早晨6点起来了就,远望阳台之外,乐萌湖对岸便是法国,法语区的湖区景色令人垂涎。吃过早饭,婉童就带我市区晃晃,教堂,地铁,市政厅,传说中的联邦理工EPFL。印象深刻的是校园内的劳力士学习中心,形状酷似奶酪,空间有些许坡度,区划丰富,玻璃窗景独特。中午乘车来到了Montreux湖区景色,下了火车,穿过两排小楼,宽阔的海岸线,蔚蓝的天空,美景让再多的开销再多的苦难都变得值得,心驰神往体验着最美的湖景之一。正值周天,沿河的游客络绎,加之少儿游乐园,让整个小镇子沉浸在欢乐的节日气氛当中。三个关键字:周日,瑞士,景区决定了我只能去火车站的超市买了最便宜的三款面包:基本款跨桑,基本款马芬,基本款巧克力。接自来水应付此消彼长的肚子。关键是要把票用到极致,在洛桑到Montreux景区的7个区里面游荡。看了一个小楼里面的摄影展,看了雀巢总部,看了山顶的湖景。值得一提的是在小城Vevey火车站男厕所看到三个小便池里面三陀大便,这可是瑞士!随后来到了奥林匹克公园以及博物馆,看了一下高昂的票价和面积不大的馆子,又考虑到我对奥林匹克有一定了解,所以大概买了买纪念品就漠然而去。市区看到了教堂里面有活动,原来是瑞士传统爵士乐演奏,欣赏片刻,顿感肚饥,便回到宿舍。做饭。土豆片,炝炒白菜,稍微素了一点,但是大碗米饭狂吞。

不管走哪里都能感到瑞士强烈的设计感。随处可见设计带来的社会优越性,设计带给人们的体验。学校里地铁里也是充满了各种设计符号。值得一提的是公共交通设施里面的广告并不是很多。法语区的散漫孤傲不讲英文德文,法国和非洲移民带来一些问题,整体的精神面貌和文明素质要打个折扣。

9月22日

一大早骑车冲下洛桑城市陡坡,沿着勒萌湖西沿慢骑。湖区海滩,各种沿岸的碎石路,草坂路,青石路,水泥路,铁桥路,乡道很多是葡萄架,想起来法国的酒文化,也不足为奇。骑到Nyon小城,决定做车了。来到火车站,超市补齐一个大个充饥面包,一杯酸奶,一瓶果汁,买票前往日内瓦。中午之前便到了日内瓦车站,马不停蹄,开展对一个都会城市的游走。一小时后,决定坐18路电车去久负盛名的粒子对撞研究中心CERN。买票,这次不需要给自行车买票。到了和美国大伯了解了一下周围地理信息,随后就潜入一大一小博物馆了。真的可惜没能参加导览部队。博物馆碰到一个爷爷用中式英文很流利地帮我讲解,半晌问我哪里来得,我说和您一样,于是了解到他是北大物理系的老师,辗转欧洲和北京,说北京也在策划一个更大的粒子加速实验中心。正值CERN40周年特展,买纪念品,没想到还挺便宜。出来CERN下午3点,骑去边界,绕着CERN骑了一圈。玉米田,高速路,山水,葡萄架,CERN直径30公里的地下试验根本看不出痕迹。挺着音乐饶了一大圈,回去路过了日内瓦机场,HEAD艺术学院。

临近黄昏,乘坐ICN(瑞士高铁)前往巴塞尔。花了最大一笔交通76人票和18的自行车票。根本不用等车,最多每半小时一班,上车卸驮包,挂车,一切都很娴熟。查票的时候人家说需要买ICN的与订票,还好售票员说德文,我流利地说明了不晓得预订车票的情况,不知道为什么他很开心只让我补个票,花了5块,渡过了一险关。窗边明信片式的美景闪现。不同层次,不同效果。火车每转个弯就是一个滤镜特效。报站很有趣,法语为主的城市就是法语报站,德语城市就是德语报站,从来不会双语,更别提英文了。回到德语区,找到了难得的自在,就像闭塞的鼻子突然通了气,只要我说标准德语,他们也会用标准德文回,交流变得顺畅起来。很顺利找到了Yiran家。递送礼物,简聊,马上卧倒。

9月23日

三国交界,延莱茵河骑到法语区,购买一些食品,感受法国小镇的细致入微的差异。然后上桥骑到了德语区,更是熟悉的氛围,Aldi买了很多东西,价格真心便宜,找回了当年德国的感觉。延莱茵河骑行完全是一个城市一种体验。这个古色古香的城市散发着迷人和亲和的气氛。市中心碰到了猛玛象专卖店,进去以后果不其然发现了最便宜的T恤上面印着巴塞尔旗舰店。

中午炒了菜,做了饭,下午出动找艺术学院巴塞尔电子艺术组织和著名的巴塞尔博览会。看到了陈列的Art Basel大全。晚上回家室友让我去学校搬东西,我坐着宝马车去巴塞尔艺术学院,当了一圈苦力,但是看了看街景和学校挺不错。开宝马的只是蓝领民工,人挺好的但说话粗俗,文化素质很低,让我感触万千。

去了动静最大的唐桂里动力美术馆(Tinguely Museum)久仰已久,幸能亲临,身临其境感受机械运动的曼妙,这份上世纪难得的达达风潮。唐桂里是机械动力鼻祖艺术家,已经非常娴熟。各种美学形式给了我很多灵感。期中有两件通过机械调频的收音机立刻让我肃然起敬。这个博物馆对我的影响很大。动力喷泉也令人印象深刻。在博物馆商店里面看到了很多以动态为主题的玩具,期中看到了美国的Kirkland系列发条玩具,设计精美,机构巧妙,让人看到了其高昂的附加值。看到有老的画册,于是二话不说便买了几本。

#fondue #night #basel #switzerland #瑞士奶酪火锅

下午去了瑞士Aldi,买了一些食物,为晚上的瑞士奶酪火锅Fondue准备了火源。火锅需要加入很多高热量奶酪和白酒,沾面包而食,味道很难让人接受。三人聚餐中有一个是yiran室友是瑞士人,很快就熟悉攀谈了起来,感性的她一直探讨到瑞士的可悲之处。

9月25日

Yiran陪同逛教堂,逛市区,逛音乐学院。晚上去了Tinguely博物馆参加虚拟现实论坛。见到了媒体艺术大佬奥利弗格老。耳朵在适应纯德语学术环境中得到了长足的磨练和进步。其中有一个Media As Prothesis很有趣。

和Yiran打算做一顿披萨,去metro买了大披萨,奶酪屑,买了菠萝,做了夏威夷披萨和综合蔬菜披萨。

9月26日

上午和Yiran做了焗饭。下午在Yiran的音乐学院里还听了一节电子音乐的课。上午去了Tinguely博物馆继续听一些艺术家的报告。虽然涉及的话题不是很感兴趣,但还是有一些启发的地方。

 

 

9月27日

以虚拟现实沉浸体验剧Terra Nova收尾巴塞尔之行确实再难忘不过了,两小时的震撼体验让虚拟现实不再是曾经认为的空灵噱头,配合史诗般的奏乐,从心灵根部打开身体空间体验的疆域。

瑞士自行车能和高速公路标志齐平,火车站的自行车服务更是周到而贴心,且全部自动化价格低廉。同时提供免费的防盗注册服务,除了高速公路外都有双向黄色虚线自行车专用车道,自行车在城市道路里面享有仅次于行人的优先权,火车公交系统都接纳自行车,还有国家促进自行车委员会。围绕自行车的基础设施建设真希望祖国能山寨。

早上和室友纸条道别后踩上單車前往巴塞尔火車主站。路上遇到了马拉松赛。特意选择慢車來坐,目的是不想让美景錯身而过得太快。终于也搞清楚IR,IC和ICE的分别。巴塞尔到苏黎世的路上工业居重,想必是德区是生产的动脉。

下車后便沿原路抵达ZHDK所在地TONI-AREAL進了门才发觉今天是开放日.本想买票看瑞士设计百年展结果发现不用买票了,心中窃喜。进了展厅正如所料主干是工业设计。开门见山铺述真诚精准冷静和用户友好的瑞士设计整体特点。瑞士取得如此设计成就主要归功於1913年瑞士工业联盟SWB的创立。此设计展的我的元点也是 swB 的创始年。展品以十个十年為计算單元,同時又以的个重点主题展开。

ELMA便携式缝纫机,其外壳竟能成为配套工作桌面,各種品牌手表錘表作工之精细形态之丰富自是不必多提。几个人机工程的结构让人坎佩。品牌区块中列举了独特的FREITAG包。家具的卻中卯合波普设计风令人印象深刻。也看到了sigg的军用水壶。

接下来开始对整toni areal的参观。管风琴演奏厅,教授正在指导学生,把真实的教学场景呈现公众。隔音壁非常有特色,造型也能添加音乐空间的现代性。开放日教育性特别强,满场的青少年儿童俨然成为一个亲子体验的大学。小孩子能开展多种多样的启蒙体验课程项目,能让家长早起便可以察觉孩子的发展倾向也难怪为什么瑞士出生的小孩幸福指数最高。

大型打印机是zth和zhdk合作的项目,利用reactivision确定投影点位置有点意思。arcade是绘画解剖展示 一帮学生把弄各种人体骨头进行绘画展示。接下来去了互动设计系,发现了有名的oculos飞行模拟装置。机构设置很精妙,翅膀大概是用气压传感,整个支撑传动到底部。翅膀那个采用菱形传送带旋转,排队的人络绎不绝。该系还有尖叫铅笔的展示,对已经熟知的我来讲只是精美电路板而已。还有物理交互的工作坊。下楼后看到苹果店嵌在四楼,里面正有乐队表演。

material archive to give students hands-on material experience #zhdk #toniareal #zurich #switzerland #offnentur

开放日人口巨多,密度达到中国庙会。喘口气来到了二楼的三地打印机车间,竟然有material archive,提供项目适合的多种选项。还有塑料回收打印丝制作仪,打印丝各种颜色各种属性一应俱全。对面的车间展示教学中遇到的各种材料的衔接方式,各种日常的材料性质。紧接着来到了一层的木工金工车间,各种大型设备样样具全,目测甚至多余scachymayer,经过短期训练即可使用不同搭配器械。最后是电子实验室,管理规范整洁有序,有大型工具车可以租用,甚至有冰箱和微波炉。

Faced with economic weakness and political rotation, European arts also suffer unavoidable trauma. Last year, the Dutch culture and art from cutting the budget to fund this year’s Ars Electronica Festival plummeted sharply, arts Steering Committee had to accept the cruel fact on the one hand, on the other hand actively preparing for the opportunity to find the change in the face of adversity, in the search for new challenges the configuration, which seek more plasticity to minimize the economic face of the whole art of ecological violations.

Configuring 2: School
The school also works to move a major highlight of this year’s festival, on the one hand, and only during the festival just coincidence day class, the students will not affect the normal teaching, on the other hand direct docking Festival and the education sector through its Science and art education enlightenment nature to explore future education has also been the most direct manifestation. This is a municipal school, which is located next door to the mall, visiting the festival for the entire line is very convenient terms. Entire high school gang arranged for one large or small hall, playground also be transformed as the awards venue u19 (u19 is for young people under 19 years of age to borrow digital technology to complete their project prototype established awards), and some Carnival outdoor DIY projects educational practice, the main is to undertake various laboratory science electronic Arts Center’s mission, including biological laboratories, rapid prototyping laboratory, audio laboratory and so on.

Configuration 3: church
In addition, the church is the great alternative space, a longitudinally extending deep space, three-dimensional range and surrounded by devout audience. As Austria’s largest church and Linz landmarks Marley main church (Marien Dom) is not the first art exhibition to assume responsibility, this year it took on more including architectural projection, public outdoor interactive experience, indoor performances and exhibitions in multi-threaded tasks within the festival. Opening Night of the building projected invited by Thomas (Tomáš Dvořák) and Greg (Dan Gregor) Czech team consisting of the creation of “Archifon III”, plus laser and architectural elements in the traditional facade projection interactive, let architectural projection show real-time sound generation process is triggered.

Continuation of the 2013 vertical recorder, the new generation of media artists Japanese English Wada (Ei Wada) has brought a rather poetic “flight recorder” (flying records), connected to the balloon tape player to play with balloons flying up and down along. English Wada also regularly use a mixer to perform his current school is still on display in a classroom in 2010 to participate in the electronic arts festival old work, it is famous for “CRT Jazz” (Braun Tube Jazz Band) .

Can add on the end of “change” in the discussion or controversy? All points of view can be referenced, do summed up the festival.
Configuration four: Awards
PrixArs selection last year when he was surprised to find that mixing art (hybrid art) and digital music and sound art (Digital Musics & Sound Art) two award categories were canceled, the original introduction of the new policy, the above two and interactive art and digital community two alternates yearly rotation. This year added a media art pioneer awards rewarded media art from the candidate an important figure in the development process. First Pioneer Award at the remote art, control theory and theories of art wet outstanding contribution eighty-year-old Roy (Roy Ascott). Has his exhibition area in Cyber Arts exhibition, but also the core of his theory of the review.
Throughout the festival for five days, although Venue yuan, numerous programs, but they tend to exhibit the actual plain, digital visual narrative form, few refreshing works. Some works speculation component is too large, or even loss of business keynote artistic temperament. Did not attract a lot of field devices with the introduction of high-definition display works inevitably disappoint. Missing two main awards arts festival missing provocative sense, controversial works. The depth and extent of academic seminars sharp decrease. Exhibit drastic changes in the configuration, but difficult to find a breakthrough in the true sense. Tight fiscal let the festival has a new bottleneck. Recalling the glorious past at the same time, the festival hopes to deal with internal and external conflicts in the future, taking a big step and find avant-garde art festival hosted.
