1. Mr. Alejandro Guijarro : The Ephemeral Mind —Alejandro Guijarro and the Fragility of Knowledge

1. 短暫的思維:Alejandro Guijarro與知識碎片

Alejandro Guijarro的攝影實踐融合了藝術與科學領域，探討知識、記憶與視覺表現之間的關係。他最為知名的《Momentum》系列，以等比例的方式拍攝世界頂尖物理學研究機構的黑板，記錄那些稍縱即逝的複雜方程式與理論痕跡。

Guijarro的作品模糊了紀實與抽象的界限，塗抹、擦除與思維軌跡的殘留痕跡在其鏡頭下化為獨特的視覺景觀。本次講座將探討Guijarro的創作方法、他對知識物理性的關注，以及其攝影作品如何引導觀者思考人類認知的短暫與易逝性。

講座亦將深入剖析其作品的哲學意涵，探討其影像如何挑戰科學確定性的權威性，並凸顯視覺詮釋的主觀性。

Alejandro Guijarro’s photographic practice bridges the realms of art and science, interrogating the relationship between knowledge, memory, and visual representation. Best known for his Momentum series, Guijarro captures life-sized images of chalkboards from prestigious physics institutions, preserving the traces of complex equations and theories that are often ephemeral.

His work blurs the line between documentation and abstraction, as smudges, erasures, and remnants of thought processes become visual landscapes in their own right. This lecture explores Guijarro’s artistic methods, his fascination with the physicality of knowledge, and the ways his photography prompts viewers to reflect on the fragility and transience of human understanding.

We will delve into the philosophical implications of his work, considering how his images challenge the authority of scientific certainty, emphasising the subjective nature of visual interpretation.

2.Robert Platt: Primitive, Magical Unity:on art, embodiment, landscape, and acts of looking

2. Robert Platt:原始的、神奇的統一：論藝術、體現、景觀與觀看行為

Prof. Robert Platt的藝術實踐涉及對知覺、具身性（embodiment）以及形與背景關係消解的探索，透過繪畫、裝置與動態影像，研究影像如何抗拒固定詮釋，並在流動與連結的狀態中存在。

受德勒茲與瓜塔里（Deleuze & Guattari）關於「閃爍的形與背景關係」（flickering figure-ground relations）概念的啟發，我的創作拒絕穩定的形式，而是透過不斷的調變，促使視覺元素在流動中顯現。同時，我亦借鑒Gilbert Simondon的「原初的神秘統一」（primitive magical unity）概念，將知覺視為一種關係場域，使界線變得模糊。

透過抽象、分割與偽裝等手法，我的創作模糊了觀看者與被觀看物之間的界限。透明度與沉浸式構圖打破了單一視角，使作品成為感知變動的場域。透過強調流動性與交織性，我探討意義如何在運動、記憶與集體經驗中被重塑。

My artistic practice explores perception, embodiment, and the dissolution of figure-ground relationships through painting, installation, and moving image. My work examines how images resist fixed interpretations, existing instead in states of flux and connection.

Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of ‘flickering figure-ground relations’, this approach resists stable forms, favoring shifting perceptions where elements emerge through continuous modulation. I also draw from Gilbert Simondon’s concept of ‘primitive magical unity’, exploring perception as a relational field where distinctions blur.

Through abstraction, fragmentation, and camouflage, these creative explorations erode the separation between viewer and viewed. Transparency and immersive compositions disrupt singular perspectives, positioning my practice as a site of perceptual flux. By emphasizing fluidity and entanglement, I investigate how meaning is reshaped through movement, memory, and collective experience.
