SIMULACRA拟像将于2023年9月16日带来吴凌昊个展「辛特兰@穿过胃部手术¿ ¿台浸泡着////蓝色」，展览将呈现艺术家近一年内最新创作的一系列绘画作品。从2022年末开始，随着探索的不断深入，吴凌昊的创作视角和方法经历了转变和延展：从“界面的语言学装配”到“机器欲望的结构化生成”。零散的网络图像被不可名状的有机形体替代，在剧场般的自然背景中进行着欲望的展演，预示着艺术家对生命和网络生态的感知的进一步深入。
空旷的沙地、辽远的地平线、深邃且异常的天空：数具神秘之物在这样的背景中被凸显出来。它们孤立、突兀、形单影只，表面遍布孔洞，似乎在呼唤情感的回应。超现实的场景仿佛是在天地之间上演的一幕幕远古梦境，原始而难以抑制；亦像是不断生长、缠绕、蔓延的纪念碑，在古怪的驱力中无限繁殖并演化出新的形态。
这一驱力（从亚里士多德的“潜能与现实”一直到德勒兹的“欲望机器”）构成了“世界图景的机械化”谱系，它始终深深地根植于人类的无意识之中——在每一次观察与测量、呼吸与心跳、输入与反馈之中；机器欲望的驱力让内在欲望与外部世界的物质现实互动，造就了每一条经典定律，每一次梦想和荣耀成真的时刻。它是内在于我们的“最熟悉的陌生人”，暗中蠢蠢欲动，在动机、语言和行动中不断地扩张和殖民。
吴凌昊最新的实践接续了超现实主义“情欲机器”的绘画传统，其内核更加强调机器的物理运动：以单调而有力的重复动态，揭示出野蛮的暴力性欲望。而对于艺术家，机器成为了想象欲望和造型的载体，其“装配”的逻辑和方法成为画面构成的基础。当观者仔细审视画面，透过不同材质的形状，不难看到人体的变形。他提示了一个正在发生的具有普遍性的过程：随着技术在我们的无意识中不断打下新的烙印 ，人与物正不可避免地融解为一。
SIMULACRA will present Wu Linghao’s solo exhibition「Hinterland @ Through Stomach Surgery¿ ¿Table Soaked //// Blue」 in September 16, 2023, showcasing a series of his latest paintings created over the past year. Since late 2022, Wu Linghao’s creative perspective and methods have undergone a transformation and extension, shifting from “linguistic assembly of interfaces” to the “structured generation of machine desire.” Scattered online images are replaced by indefinable organic forms, performing desires in theatrical natural settings, hinting at the artist’s deeper exploration of life and the online ecosystem.
Vast deserts, expansive horizons, and profound, eerie skies set the stage for enigmatic entities. They appear isolated, abrupt, singular, with surfaces covered in apertures, seemingly calling for an emotional response. The surreal scenes resemble ancient dreams unfolding between heaven and earth, primal and uncontrollable, akin to monuments perpetually growing, entwining, proliferating, and evolving in bizarre forces.
This driving force, from Aristotle’s “potentiality and actuality” to Deleuze’s “desiring machines,” constitutes the lineage of the “mechanization of the world picture,” deeply rooted in the human unconscious—within every observation and measurement, every breath and heartbeat, input and feedback. The drive of machine desire allows the interaction of inner desires with the material reality of the external world, giving rise to each classic law and every moment when dreams and glory come true. It is the “most familiar stranger” within us, quietly lurking, constantly expanding and colonizing in motives, language, and actions.
Wu Linghao’s latest practice continues the painting tradition of Surrealist “desiring machines,” with a stronger emphasis on the physical motion of machines, revealing the savage and violent nature of desire through monotonous yet powerful repetitive dynamics. For the artist, machines become the carriers of imaginative desire and forms, and their logic and methods of “assembly” form the basis of the composition. When viewers carefully examine the artwork, they can discern the deformation of the human body through shapes of different materials. He suggests an ongoing universal process: as technology continually imprints itself on our unconscious, humans and objects are inevitably merging into one.
