《ΑΝΥΠΑΚΟΗ / 违抗》| 希腊馆，2018年伦敦设计双年展，萨默塞特宫

违抗是一个长达17米的动力学墙体，挑战了我们对建筑作为静态、情感麻木之物的感知。

今年，伦敦设计双年展2018年中央庭院展览邀请了Studio INI进行展示。作为回应，我们很荣幸地向您呈现我们动力学装置作品《ΑΝΥΠΑΚΟΗ - '违抗'》，以此回应双年展主题“情感状态”

Studio INI（伦敦 | 雅典）的设计工程师们在Nassia Inglessis的带领下，将严谨的设计研究与公众参与相结合，创造出体验性的装置。希腊馆是Studio INI打造的一个17米长的动力学墙体，它挑战了我们对于建筑作为静态、情感麻木之物的传统认知。

历史上，“违抗”被用来描述希腊的性格。从警示故事伊卡洛斯，到安提戈涅，再到普罗米修斯，希腊神话中展现的是英雄们违抗神明，却遵从对人类的道德义务，为人类的进步创造机会。在希腊国家正处在自我重塑的时期，这是一个强有力的主题。问题在于，我们如何既能邀请违抗，又能驾驭其建设性的形式？只要有规则存在，就有违抗。科学家通过违抗前辈的假设而发现，孩子们通过违抗父母的界限而学习，设计师通过违抗常规而创造。

一件“活”的雕塑；一个17米长的动力学墙体，由钢弹簧骨架和创新的循环塑料编织而成。参观者面对的是一堵看似无害的墙，然而当他们步入其中，其动态表皮会随着他们的动作而弯曲变形；他们已经越过了界限，从顺从的旁观者转变为违抗的行动者。

Nassia旨在激发违抗的创造性表达。她邀请参观者在打破电脑屏幕外的现实，重建他们的物理空间时感到赋权。有多少次，人们可以通过自身的存在移动数吨重的金属？有多少次，人们可以通过溶解一堵墙来创造新的空间？

墙体的转变和波动是通过身体与空间的直接对话来体验的。结构成为了他们动作和情感的物理扩音器。

诸如好奇心、矛盾情绪、挫败感、诱惑、兴奋和惊奇等情绪被放大，参观者在穿越边界并独特地影响其形状的过程中体验到这种感觉。Farooq Chaudhry，创意制作人兼Akram Khan Company创始人，为此创作了一场表演，由享誉世界的舞者Dickson Mbi编排并演出。

ΑΝΥΠΑΚΟΗ / Disobedience   |   Greek Pavilion,  London Design Biennale 2018, Somerset House

Disobedience is a 17m long kinetic wall that challenges our perception of architecture as something static, or emotionally inert.

Studio INI was invited to present this year’s central courtyard exhibit of the London Design Biennale 2018. In response to this invitation we are pleased to present to you our kinetic installation entitled ΑΝΥΠΑΚΟΗ - ‘Disobedience’ responding to the Biennale theme of Emotional States.

The design engineers at Studio INI (London | Athens) led by Nassia Inglessis couple rigorous design research with public engagement to create experiential installations. Studio INI’s Greek Pavilion, is a 17m long kinetic wall that challenges our perception of architecture as something static, or emotionally inert.

Disobedience has been used throughout history to describe the Greek temperament. From the cautionary tale of Icarus, to Antigone, to Prometheus, Greek mythology shows a hero who disobeys the gods yet obeys his moral obligation to humanity and creates opportunity for its progress. It remains a potent theme for Greece at a time when the country is in the process of reinventing itself. The question is, how can we both invite disobedience and harness its constructive form? For as long as there have been rules, there has been disobedience. Scientists discover by disobeying the assumptions of predecessors, children learn by disobeying the boundaries of parents, designers create by disobeying the norm.

A ‘living’ sculpture; a 17 metre-long kinetic wall made from a steel spring skeleton and an innovative ‘weave’ of recycled plastic. The visitors are confronted with an innocuous wall, yet as they step inside, its dynamic skin flexes and morphs in response to their movements; they have transgressed a boundary, transitioning from obedient spectators to disobedient actors.

Nassia seeks to evoke disobedience’s creative expression. She invites visitors to feel empowered as they break reality outside of the computer screen and re-construct their physical space. How often can one shift tonnes of metal by their physical presence? How often can one dissolve a wall to create new space?

The transformation and undulation of the wall is experienced through a direct dialogue of body and space. The structure, becomes a physical megaphone of their motion and emotion.

Emotions such as curiosity, ambivalence, frustration, temptation, excitement and wonder are amplified, as visitors experience the feeling of passing in between a boundary and uniquely impacting its shape. A Performance was produced by Farooq Chaudhry, creative producer and founder of Akram Khan Company choreographed and performed by world-renowned dancer Dickson Mbi.
