XIONG Xiaoyu / Sherry 熊晓宇

“ …at the heart of this critical language, between several discourses, those of sociology, of semiology, and of psychoanalysis—but that, by ultimate dissatisfaction with all of them, I was bearing witness to the only sure thing that was in me (however naive it might be): a desperate resistance to any reductive system. For each time, having resorted to any such language to whatever degree, each time I felt it hardening and thereby tending to reduction and reprimand, I would gently leave it and seek elsewhere: I began to speak differently.”
                                                                                                     --   Roland Barthes (1980), Camera Lucida

    My Word, My world 我的文字宇宙

    2023-now,综合材料。
    媒介:雕塑、数字生成、移动图像、互动装置、丝网印刷、红色胶带等。

    This long-term project aims to create my emotional script. It is not intended to replace existing scripts but to focus on bodily perception through my script and reconstruct my surrounding environment through these perceptions. So far, I have created over a hundred characters, and it is a work that grows alongside my life. The principles and rules of character creation have undergone three refinements and are still being revised.

    该长期项目为创造我的情绪文字,它不是为了替代现有文字而创造,而是为了通过我的文字关注身体的感知,通过感知来重新建构我周围的环境。到目前为止,我已创造了百余字,它是一个与我生命共同生长的作品。造字原则和规则目前经历三次完善,目前仍在修改中。


                                                                                                                My word Mom, 2023

    Principles of word creation:
    In the first stage of my character creation, I tried to use a circle to form the basic space of the characters. In this space, the existing words of the circle represent different elements related to the text (based on my life experiences). From the center to the edge of the circle, the influence of the elements is from weak to strong. In the end, the red lines are the words I wrote that belong to me at this moment.
    造词原则:
    在文字创作的初期,我尝试用圆形来构成角色的基本空间。在这个空间中,圆圈中现有的文字代表了与文本相关的不同元素(基于我的生活经历)。从圆的中心到边缘,元素的影响力由弱到强。最后,红线是我写下的、此刻属于我的文字。

    Method of the word creation: Use “CITY” as a sample
    My first word is "CITY", which means that the elements around the circle are the cities I have lived in since I was born. I integrated the strength and weakness of their influence on me to form my "city". At this stage, I just randomly wrote down the influencing elements that came to my mind, without any rules. Color is also an unconscious choice.
    1. Write a table: According to the following table, on the vertical axis, I divide my life into 6 stages by age, and the horizontal axis is the important cities I have lived in. The numerical value represents the strength of the influence, with 0 being the smallest and 1 being the largest.
    2. Write code: I created a circle as a writing space, imported the table into the code, and the text was automatically generated.
    造词方法:以“城市”为例
    我的第一个词是“CITY”,意思是圆圈周围的元素是我从出生起就生活过的城市。我综合了他们对我影响的强弱,形成了我的“城”。这个阶段我只是随意写下想到的影响因素,没有任何规则。颜色也是一种无意识的选择。
    1.写一个表格:根据下表,纵轴上,我按年龄将自己的人生分为6个阶段,横轴是我居住过的重要城市,数值代表影响力的强弱,其中 0 是最小的,1 是最大的。
    2.编写代码:我创建了一个圆圈作为书写空间,将表格导入到代码中,文字就自动生成了。

                         

    3. 线条变化:以文字Mom为例,我用曲线代表柔和的情绪和情感,用直线表现激动的情绪和情感。
               

    4. 颜色变化:随着文字的生成,我开始用红色代表由不同情绪构成的具体人、事、物,用蓝色代表由具体的人、事、物构成的不同的情绪。我的第一个蓝色文字是“爱”。
