Venice Cyber Biennale Committee
颠覆双年展
——威尼斯网络双年展组委会负责人访谈
viviand：我先自我介绍一下，我是ABBS的记者，我想对你们此次的活动做一个简短的采访。首先我想问的是，威尼斯双年展的概况极其影响。
威尼斯网络双年展组委会（以下简称组委会）：1893年，《设立一个国内艺术家作品展出的双年展机制》在威尼斯出台。两年后，举办了首届威尼斯双年展。1930年后，双年展逐步增加了音乐、电影、戏剧等艺术门类，成为一个现在所看到的多艺术学科综合性的展览活动。二战后，其它国家的一些城市相继效仿举办视觉艺术双年展。据统计，到现在全世界共有 300多个双年展，有规模有影响的有30多个，其中较出色的要属创立于1951年的巴西圣保罗双年展和1955年创立的德国卡塞尔文献展。
Viviand：传统双年展的贡献是什么，有哪些缺陷？
组委会：独立性和批判精神是以往传统双年展的最大贡献。随着社会的高速发展，双年展陈旧僵化的体制已不再适应当代的文化需求，批判的独立性也日渐丧失。巨大的经济利益是很多城市青睐双年展的重要原因。双年展这个非盈利性的社会文化活动的市场是间接的，展览的国际性和巨大的人气，可以带动一个城市的文化、商业、旅游业的发展，甚至拉动一个城市GDP 的增长。而已经盈利的威尼斯双年展是最好的范例。双年展已经成了一种文化产业，沦为消费主义文化的一部分。
viviand：为什么要做威尼斯网络双年展，听上去和传统威尼斯双年展很相似，彼此是什么关系
组委会：网络威尼斯双年展是一个与威尼斯双年展（传统的）没有任何直接关系的独立展览。形式不同、观念不同。一方面我们想探讨互联网与艺术间的关系，更重要的是通过网络向全人类传递我们的艺术观念。为了挑战传统的双年展体系，我们起了有针对性的相似名称，借此起到批评作用的同时也希望激活新的艺术精神。但与传统展览形式不同，我们所有的活动过程是在网上展开的。实地的物理空间和虚拟的网络空间各有利弊，相比传统的艺术展览空间，网络可以容纳更多的观念艺术作品。传播面广，速度快，参与性强的特点也使不同地域的文化人士便捷的观看和参与展览的各项活动。所以网络展览必定是未来艺术展览的重要发展方向。
viviand：威尼斯双年展主办方也有自己的官方网站，两者会不会重复
组委会：威尼斯双年展的官方网站只是主办方为宣传和联络而搭建的工作平台，不是具有完整概念的系统网络展览空间。
Viviand：组委会提出哪些惊人的理念
组委会：本次展览主题是“濒危地球”，这是全人类目前最迫切的问题。
Viviand：网络双年展涵盖哪些艺术种类
组委会：任何可以通过互联网展示的艺术形式都欢迎参与此次活动。
viviand：这此活动是怎样组织的，哪些人员和机构会参与
组委会：活动的主办方由独立的文化艺术机构和团体联合组成，同时还邀请了不同国家不同专业的文化人士参与策展和评奖工作，希望通过具有敏锐眼光的他们对全球文化的深层观察后产生的独立见解，来打破艺术界狭隘的思维模式。
Viviand：会不会涉及侵权，还有需要很多活动资金吗
组委会：不存在侵权问题，这是一次非盈利的艺术活动。网络也会最大可能的降低活动成本
viviand：预计会有多少人流览，对中国文化圈乃至国际的影响有多大
组委会：由于网络传播便捷，此次活动的网站正式对外至今，浏览量已大大超出我们的预计，很多艺术家前来咨询和报名参展，也得到国内外很多文化人士的支持。
Viviand：由于这个活动创意很精彩，以后如果更多的独立机构会承办类似的活动会演变成竟争吗
组委会：不存在竞争，我们希望能有更多的人来举办这类活动，共同推动当代艺术的发展。
Viviand：这此活动后会做些什么
组委会：我们会举办一系列的艺术活动，以此推动 “人与自然、人与社会和谐统一” 的艺术创作观念。
Overturning traditional Biennale
-------Interviewed with Venice Cyber Biennale organizer
Interviewer: Viviand ( He ying)
V: Hi, I want to ask you some questions on this big event. Now will u please introduce the background and impact which brought by Venice Biennale.
VBES: It was founded in 1895 as the International Exhibition of Art of the City of Venice the first Biennale, which achieved worldwide prestige, included artists from 16 nations. After World War II it became the leading showplace for the international avant-garde. After 1930, Biennale involved more varied art forms like music, movie and dramas, which gradually becomes a great exhibition activity consisting of many art subjects. Some cities in other countries began to hold similar vision art biennale exhibition after WWII. It is said that till now there are more than 300 biennales all over the world, of which more than 30 ones have achieved worldwide prestige, and the Sao Paolo Biennale found in 1951 and Kassel Document 1 found in 1955 could be the successful examples.
V：What great influences did the traditional biennale bring to us? Is there anything that needs to be improved?
VBES：Independence and critical thinking are the greatest contribution which the traditional Biennale has ever made since it was found. With the rapid development of society, the traditional system is no more able to meet the needs of contemporary culture; what’s more, the independence of critical thinking is gradually losing. Great benefits brought by Biennale are becoming the major reason why more cities pay such attention on this exhibition. This nonprofit social and cultural activity is able to shape an indirect market, namely, by its great international influence, biennale is capable to promote the development of city’s culture, business, tourism and even the growth of GDP. It could be a very good example that Venice Biennale, which used to be nonprofit, now has already made profits. Biennale Exhibition has become a culture industry, a part of consumerism culture.
V: Why do you want to establish this Venice cyber Biennale exhibition? It sounds quiet like the traditional Venice Biennale Exhibition and what‘s the relationship between each other?
VCBS: Venice Cyber Biennale is a new and independent exhibition which has nothing in common with the original VB. They are different both in form and concepts Traditional biennale has some setbacks in terms of organizational structure and geographical dimension which caused insufficient participation in the international arena that greatly diminished the in -depth exploration of artistic trend. However, cyber exhibition not only challenges the physical space and regular thinking of traditional exhibition, but it also offers a chance to explore the new artistic horizon. And that is why we name it Venice Cyber Biennale. We believe this cyber biennale enables more people to take part in this latest development of international visual art, subsequently changing the current system of art exhibition. This will be an important trend for future concept art exhibition.
V: Venice Biennale also has their own website. Will they be the same?
VCBS: The website of VB is just served as a platform for promoting as well as communicating. It’s not a complete cyber exhibition space to any extent
V: What’s the theme or subject of 1st VCB?
VCBS: The subject is ENDANGERED EARTH. For the human being, Hhhhhfjdaslkfjdsaljfdsathe environment problem is more urgent than ever before
V: What kind of art forms will the cyber exhibition involve?
VCBS: There is no restriction of art works. We welcome any kinds of art forms which could be transmitted by internet
V: How was this activity organized? Which people or institutes will participate?
VCBS: This exhibition is co-organized with nonprofit art institutes, academic community and various intellectual observers from all over the world with insightful observation and independent opinions. We do hope the conservative thinking mode in art circle more or less could be challenged by their insightful perspectives on globalization
V: How many people do you think will visit your website? What influence will it make on Chinese culture circle or even the world?
VCBS: Owing to the convenience brought by internet, the number of visitors is far beyond our expectation since the website official opened to the public.
V: The idea of this Cyber Biennale is very great and apparently welcomed. Is it possible that after 1st Cyber Biennale more independent art institutes will compete to hold this kind of activity?
VCBS: There is no competition actually. We do hope more people could join us and hold this kind of activity, pushing the contemporary art moving forward together.
V: What‘s the next plan after the exhibition?
VCBS：We are going to hold a series of art activities, to promote the idea of harmony and unity between “human and nature, people and the society, people and ego”
