艺术家｜Artists：Elham Angell、Alessa Brossmer and Marie Lynn Speckert、Nicole Condon、Kian Khiaban、Asep Saepuloh、Sarah Song、Matheus Da Rocha Montanari、Jessie Yingying Gong、Paul Zisiwe
“Sim-biotic”是艺术家 Celyn Bricker 与持续新生RGRT 一同策划的两个展览中的第一个，汇集了来自世界各地的多样化的艺术家，探索了我们与自然以及虚拟环境的“共生”关系。
艺术家们以自然共生为主题进行了多方面的直接探索：妮可·康登 (Nicole Condon) 和莎拉·宋 (Sarah Song) 的作品的灵感都来自于地衣与其他生物间的“互惠互利的安排”。康登创作的灵感是地衣的生物学及其作为空气质量生物标志物的用途；而宋则将地衣的共生性质作为隐喻或切入点讨论了人类文化。
Sim-biotic is the first of two exhibitions curated by artist Celyn Bricker with RGRT. Sim-biotic brings together a diverse range of artists from across the world, and explores both our “symbiotic” relationship with nature as well as with simulated, virtual environments.
Some of the artists featured explore aspects of natural symbiosis directly; both Nicole Condon and Sarah Song make work inspired by lichens, which exist in ‘mutually benefiting arrangements’ with other organisms. Condon makes work inspired by the biology of lichens and their use as biomarker of air quality, whereas Song uses the symbiotic quality of the lichen as a metaphor or starting point to discuss human culture.
伊朗艺术家艾勒姆·安吉尔（Elham Angell）的作品也探讨了人类文化与自然的关系。在她的作品《隔离保护》（Isolation Protection）中，安吉尔用摄影记录了她保护家附近的树木的诗意尝试，并以传统波斯文学的语境阐述了她遇到的的挫折和对应行动。
The relationship between human culture and nature is also explored in the works of Iranian artist Elham Angell. In her piece Isolation Protection Angell uses photography to record her poetic attempt to protect the trees near her home, and contextualises her frustration and action in terms of traditional Persian literature.
印度尼西亚艺术家安赛普·塞普洛（Asaep Saepuloh）的摄影实践也转向传统角度，以爪哇哲学为灵感，记录了当地的自然元素。在传统的爪哇哲学中，四种自然元素（地火水风）与人类存在共生关系（它们被称为塞杜鲁帕帕 the Sedulur Papat），塞普洛在他的摄影作品中探索了这种平衡。
Indonesian artist Asaep Saepuloh also turns to tradition to inform his photography practise, using Javanese philosophy as the inspiration for his method of recording the elements of nature in his local area. In traditional Javanese philosophy the four natural elements exist in a symbiotic relationship with humankind (they are known as the Sedulur Papat or ‘Four relatives’), and Saepuloh explores this balance in his photography.
“感觉是一种抽象形式的秩序与混乱，美丽而充满惊喜。 感觉可以被引导，却无法控制，
因为感觉是上帝赋予人类和我自己的必然的精神价值。”
技术模拟也可以作为探索我们与自然的不平衡（非共生）关系的一种手段，马修斯·达·罗查·蒙塔纳里 (Matheus Da Rocha Montanari) 的作品《单一栽培，单一技术，单一性 (Monoculture, Monotechnic, Mononature)》批判了桉树种植园对他的祖国巴西的影响。
我们也可以在杰西·英英·龚 （Jessie Yingying Gong） 的作品中看到另一种模拟，它利用希腊岛屿的形状和形式生成了一部不断变形的冥想电影。
而基安·基亚班 (Kian Khabian) 使用完全虚拟的方式模拟了自然世界，创造了一种不同于任何“真实”环境的超自然，但仍致力于重建我们对自然的情感体验。阿莱莎·布罗斯默 (Alessa Brossmer) 与玛丽·林恩·斯佩克特 (Marie Lynn Speckert) 的作品《水 (WATER)》 返回了一个真实但正在消失的景观，他们通过影片和声音的形式凝思了冰岛冰川的退缩。艺术家中还包括“视频诗人”保罗·齐西维 (Paul Zisiwe)，他用影片反映了他的家乡南非的水源，作品思考了当地社群与周围湖泊和河流之间的微妙关系。
Technological simulations are used as a means to explore our out-of-balance (non-symbiotic) relationship with nature in Matheus Da Rocha Montanari’s piece Monoculture, Monotechnic, Mononature, that critiques the impact of eucalyptus plantations in his native Brazil. We see simulations of a different kind in Jessie Yingying Gong’s work, using the shape and form of Greek Islands to generate a constantly morphing, meditative film. Kian Khabian uses entirely virtual means to create simulations of the natural world, creating a kind of super-nature unlike any ‘real’ environment, but nevertheless intending to recreate our emotional experience of nature. Returning to a real but vanishing landscape, Alessa Brossmer and Marie Lynn Speckert’s work WATER uses film and sound to meditate on the retreat of glaciers in Iceland. Featured also is ‘video poet’ Paul Zisiwe, who uses film to reflect on water in his native South Africa, making work that considers the delicate relationship between his local community and the surrounding lakes and rivers.
“Sim-biotic”中不同地域的艺术家反映了一种不断变化的共识，即在全球范围内，我们需要与自然世界建立一种更“共生”的关系，而不是一种剥削性或采掘性的关系。艺术家在讨论中扮演着自己的角色，但要实现真正的共生——不仅仅是一种模拟——各行各业的人都必须调整他们与自然的关系。
The deliberately geographically diverse choice of artists for Sim-biotic reflects the shifting consensus that globally we need to move into a more ‘symbiotic’ relationship with the natural world, rather than an exploitative or extractive one. Artists have their role to play in the discussion, but to achieve a true symbiosis - rather than simply a simulacrum of one - people from all walks of life, and in all industries, will have to readjust their relationship to nature.
艾勒姆·安吉尔 Elham Angell
艾勒姆是一位出生于 1985 年的伊朗艺术家。艾勒姆的主要灵感来自大自然—— 地球科学家 是她的职业生涯的开始，对她来说，艺术与科学之间没有隔阂。正如她所说，“自然是你可以自己了解和探索的第一件事。” 就像波斯文学对艾勒姆影响深刻一样，物体拥有自己的哲学。艾勒姆使用这些物品与她的观众交流，邀请他们注意自己与对世界的看法之间的关系。通过这种方式，艺术可以超越仅仅存在的东西。艺术家是神秘世界的守门人，而这些世界原本是封闭的。
Elham is an Iranian artist born in 1985. Elham’s chief inspiration comes from nature – she began her career as an earth scientist, and for her, there is no barrier between art and science. As she says, nature is the first thing which you can know and explore by yourself. As in the Persian literature which represents a strong source of influence for Elham, objects carry their own philosophy. Elham uses these objects to communicate with her audience, inviting them to notice how they relate to their own ideas of the world. In this way, art can extend beyond what is merely present. Artists are gatekeepers to mysterious worlds, worlds otherwise closed to view.
阿莱莎·布罗斯默与玛丽·林恩·斯佩克特
Alessa Brossmer and Marie Lynn Speckert
阿莱莎·布罗斯默是一位德国艺术家，其艺术作品专注于景观、建筑和研究的交叉领域。她的摄影是为未来的三维作品（如铸件、模型、变形的家具或乙烯基）做观察笔记。为了进一步或基本的表达，她也撰写科学文本、文章或诗歌。
玛丽·林恩·斯佩克特1989年生于汉诺威/德国，是当代媒体艺术家、作曲家和金属雕塑家。她的艺术作品将解剖结构、医疗工具、声音与表演和雕塑相结合，并利用它们创造大气场景。她利用雕塑元素、创新的声音缩影和微妙平衡的动作、复杂的感官印象来揭示它们涌现和相关的解释可能性。她的创作往往与医学有着强烈而虚构的联系。他们更像是过程、变化和死亡。
Alessa Brossmer is a German artist focused on artistic work at the intersection of landscape, architecture and research. For her photography functions as observational note-taking for future three-dimensional works such as casts, models, transformed furniture or vinyl. For further or fundamental expression, she writes scientific texts, articles or poems.
MDURA aka Marie Lynn Speckert * 3.12.1989 in Hanover / Germany is a contemporary media-artist, composer and metal-sculptor. Her artistic work combines anatomic structures, medical tools, sounds with performance and sculptures and employs them to create atmospheric scenes. Utilizing sculptural elements, innovative sound microcosms and delicately balanced actions, complex sensory impressions to reveal their emergent and associated interpretive possibilities. Her creations often have a strong yet fictional connection to medicine. They refer to processes, changes and mortality.
