经｜第一期：w/Bassem Saad（毒性、熵与希望）ft. Nene H
天地之间，众生繁衍，诸植物异花授粉，动物身姿变幻无穷，猛兽亦雌雄莫辨，都与人类在无限的空间中共存，物质和现象也在不断流动交换。身体所传达的，是宇宙的形状与逻辑，总是多孔而四溢，既统一了阴阳，又超越了死亡与欢愉。透过激进的假想，我们将打破认知壁垒、祛除感知障碍，阐明一种与陈腐想象中截然不同的未来。我们的思考以星球为尺度，与周遭环境亲密无间，意在营造一种安全、欢愉、感性的共栖地。
本播客从属于未来主人持续进行中的题为《经》（Scripture）的小说写作项目。《经》是一部以《山海经》为灵感的思辨虚构作品。小说以两条线索展开：其中名为“钦原”的极微飞行生物凭谋杀穿透神话地理。在另一个世界，主角则是景德镇陶艺人的儿子，她以女儿身游荡于纽约及安特卫普，手上沾满了无法溶解的泥。《经》的中英文章节将与播客同步发布。
Cross-pollinated species, transmutable beings, androgynous beasts and humans thrive in the infinite space between heaven and earth, where matter and phenomena are in a constant flow of exchange. Body, as an expression of the shape and logic of the cosmos, is cultivated with porosity and fluidity, unifies yin and yang, transcends beyond death and pleasure. Through progressive speculation,we break epistemic entrapment and sensory deprivation to articulate a future beyond popular cliches. We think on a terrestrial scale to form an intimate solidarity with our surroundings, to hold space for a safe, pleasurable and emotive cohabitation.
This podcast belongs to Future Host’s on-going writing project “Scripture”. “Scripture” is a book of speculative fiction inspired by The Book of Mountains and Seas, an ancient Taoist classic. The fiction unfolds in two directions: Qinyuan, a diminutive bee-bird, sexes and assassinates its way out of the mythological landscape. In another world, the son of a master potter from Jingdezhen wanders in the western world as SHE, with insoluble mud on her hands. Chapters from “Scripture” will be released in English and Chinese concurrently with the podcast.
Bassem Saad (@bassem_s_)是贝鲁特的一位建筑背景的艺术家兼作家。疫情爆发时，我正在阅读Bassem的《无熵卡桑德拉2020》（No Entropy Cassandra 2020），从中得到很多启发。他的写作和实践是个人化、本土化的，同时又具有高度的星球意识和历史意识。他的《针管 纺锤 权杖》（Syringe Spindle Scepter）一文完美表达了在发展中国家作为非二元人士存在的三重困境。在这个无助而充满灾难的后真相世界里，Bassem作为酷儿的存在境遇吸引了我的注意，因此，我试图与他进行了这档播客节目最初的一场对话。
Bassem Saad (@bassem_s_) is a Beirut artist and writer trained in architecture. Reading Bassem’s No Entropy Cassandra 2020 in the beginning of the pandemic was an illumination. His writing and practice is personal,localized while being hyper-reflective in its planetary and historical consciousness. The trilemma of his non-binary existence in global south was conveyed beautifully in his story Syringe Spindle Scepter. In this toxic, disastrous, post-truth world, I look to Bassem's exemplary queer existance, and sought to have a conversation with him since the inception of the pod.
本期同样收录了Beste Aydin（又名Nene H）(@nenishka.h) 的两首曲目。她是一位来自伊斯坦布尔的女性制作人。Nene H挑战电子乐所有共有的享乐主义倾向，并将其作为政治行动的有力手段。她的音乐取样于 “智利女性主义抗议的呼喊”，以反对中东地区的女性歧视，另一首则揭露以色列扩张无形战争、非法吞并巴勒斯坦私人土地的行径。密集的节奏和随电音而来的狂热感切入听者的皮肤，直攻耳膜。
Also featured in this episode are two tracks from Beste Aydin aka Nene H(@nenishka.h),a female producer from Istanbul, who defies techno’s hedonistic tendency and utilizes it as ammunition for political actions. She samples the “Chilean feminist protest chant” against misogyny in the Middle East, and addresses issues around Israel's illegal annexation of private Palestinian land by amplifying its invisible warfare. The loaded intensity and electrifying feverishness are meant to be corporeal. Your eardrums might hurt a little bit.
