我們有可能像蕈菇或蟬一樣睡覺嗎？人類是否有可能找到低耗能的生理運作模式——蟄伏，以精準控制體溫與新陳代謝的方法，作為一種應對未來極端氣候生存的技術？睡覺是否可以是一種我們練習與其他物種一起集體調整節奏的方式？

請準備好身心手腳，來參與這場24小時別開生面的探險！我們將進入菌絲體的萬花世界，感受自然休眠的節律。在這場友善體驗型的工作坊中，我們將一起認識菌絲體有如網際網路一般絕妙高超的溝通科技，並無縫接軌潛入「蟄伏網路」，享受生命中的恬謐時光，學習其他動物的休眠技術，並設計屬於自己的人類休眠生活。這趟豐富的旅程裡，有奇夢百納被製作、休憩節律分享、竹林野寐等豐富行程，還有舒心冥想、晨露曦遊等探索旅程讓我們更親近蕈菇在自然循環中的關鍵角色。

活動提醒：

睡眠是這場工作坊的核心實驗，請準備好與我們度過一天不尋常的作息，我們將在奇怪的時間睡睡醒醒。並請留意所有不分性別的參與者將共用睡眠、休息、浴廁空間。

本活動為緩步動物所主辦的「菌絲體網絡學苑」系列活動之一，由國家文化藝術基金會所支持贊助。

Workshop

The first session: 2023.9.08 (Fri) 15:00 - 9.09 (Sat) 11:00

The second session: 2023.09.10 (Sun) 15:00 - 9.11 (Mon) 11:00

Venue: Bo Zhu Villa, No. 10, Bengshanxia, Sanyi Township, Miaoli County.

Hosts: Henry Tan, Huang Ding Yun, Esther Lu

Fee: NT 3600 per person, including travel insurance, one-night accommodation, dinner, breakfast, snacks and the pickup service from Sanyi Train Station. For early birds, we offer the special discount at NT 3200.

The program will be bilingually conducted in Chinese and English. Due to the venue restriction, the workshop is open for 22 participants at each run, and no single bed is provided. Please register before September 3 to help us arranging the related logistics.

Can we learn to sleep like fungi or cicadas? Can humans find ways to go into the state of hibernation to regulate our body temperature and metabolism in a low-energy consumption mode, as a technique to fight against the future weather crisis? Can sleep become a collective exercise for us to tune in with other species?

Get ready for a unique 24-hour adventure into the fascinating mycelium world and experience the rhythms of natural hibernation. In our friendly, hands-on workshop, discover how mycelium communicates—much like the internet—and dive into the gentle process of 'Hibernation Network'. Experience the wonder of life's quiet moments, learn about how animals hibernate, and take part in creative activities to design your own human hibernation lifestyle. Quilt-making, sharing sleep cycles, and a cozy group sleep in the bamboo grove are all part of this enriching journey. Wind down with soothing meditation and wake up refreshed to a magical morning walk, appreciating fungi's integral role in nature's cycle.

Reminder:

Sleep is central to our workshop experiment, so please be prepared to spend the day with us following an unusual routine. We will nap and wake up at odd hours. Please note that participants of all genders will share the space for sleeping, resting, and using the toilet.

The event is sponsored by the National Culture and Arts Foundation.

Hosted by 黃鼎云、Henry Tan、呂岱如

黃鼎云，藝術家、劇場編導、戲劇構作。「明日和合製作所」共同創作。作品形式多樣，共同創作、空間回應、跨領域實踐等等，並專注調動觀眾與表演者間的觀演關係。自2020年起開展系列計畫《神的棲所GiR》、《操演瘋狂》等關注心智、意識、精神與其延伸等相關議題。

作品多發表於亞太地區地，曾受邀於布魯塞爾藝術節（Kunstenfestivaldesarts）、柏林高爾基劇院秋天沙龍、台北表演藝術中心亞當計劃（ADAM）、墨爾本理工大學（RMIT）、新加坡 Dance Nucleus等擔任駐節（村）藝術家、協作者、客座策展人。

Henry Tan 是一位藝術家，目前居住在曼谷，同時也是 Tentacles Art Space 的共同創辦人，泰國 Freaklab 的成員，以及日本 metaPhorest 的成員。Henry 透過對科技的探索，探討了生命和模擬等多種概念。他涵蓋了合成生物學、混合現實、腦部刺激和人工智慧等領域的想法。他對生物如何適應和應對不斷變化的環境條件，包括氣候、地緣政治和地緣經濟等方面感到興趣。

Henry 與 Fablab Hamamatsu 和 Kornkarn Rungsawang 合作創作了《Lunartic Dream Project（2021）》。這項作品通過結合神話和先進技術，將人類與非人類在其他星球傳播生命的夢想具體化，探討了人類對星際欲望和意識形態的探索。在《Young Eel project（2019）》中，Henry 將實驗室培育的肉、腦電波、聲音和光線結合在一起，重新喚醒沉睡者，將意識和記憶轉移到克隆身體中。通過對睡眠和夢境的探索，他研究了人類和鰻魚群體的老化社會和環境問題。

呂岱如，策展人與作家，「緩步動物」創辦人。在文學、藝術、環境之間，尋找不同的對話方案去促成共生的生態思考。近年開發多元的另類藝術教育探索未來身體政治的相關主題。

Huang Ding-Yun is one of the co-founders of Taipei-based multi-creator collective, Co-Coism. Co-coism aims at work-in-collective, site-responding, and interdisciplinary practices. They focus on creating a flexible relationship between the audience and the performers. In 2020, Ding-Yun initiated series of projects on ‘Mind and Consciousness’ in the progress of “God in Residency”, “Performing Insanity”.

His works were mainly premiered in the Asia-Pacific region. He was also invited as a residency artist, facilitator or guest curator in Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Belgium), Gorki Theater Herbstsalon (Berlin), ADAM—Asia Discover Asia Meetings (Taipei), Dance Nucleus (Singapore), Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (Melbourne).

Henry Tan is an artist based in Bangkok and is co-founder of Tentacles Art Space, a member of Freaklab, Thailand, as well as a member of metaPhorest, Japan. Henry explores various concepts around life and simulation through the investigation of technology. These incorporate ideas around synthetic biology, mixed reality, brain stimulation and artificial intelligence. He is interested in how lifeforms adapt to and negotiate with changing environmental conditions including the climate, geopolitics and geoeconomics.

Henry collaborated with Fablab Hamamatsu and Kornkarn Rungsawang to create The Lunartic Dream Project (2021). This work investigates human interplanetary desires and ideology by combining mythology and advanced technology to materialize the human-non-human dream of spreading life to other planets. In the Young Eel project (2019), Henry combines lab-grown meat, brainwave, sound, and light to reanimate sleepers and transfer consciousness and memories into cloned bodies. Through an exploration of sleep and dreams, he investigates aging society and environmental concerns for human and eel populations.

Esther Lu is a curator and writer, and the founder of Moss Piglets. Lu fosters new conversations on symbiosis and ecological consciousness with her approach across literature, art and environment. Her recent curatorial practice involves creating co-learning models to expand her research interest in future body politics.
