深藍巴別塔 | 木座、蠟筆;動畫投影
造成花紋海豚體表痕跡的有自然因素,例如與同類或天敵的纏鬥,以及人為因素,如魚鉤、船隻撞傷。這些紋路是生命對外在影響力的回應、回映與回音。背鰭也是觀察鯨豚的重要識別,10多年來,黑潮海洋文教基金會以此建立花紋海豚的個體辨識(PHOTO ID),促成本作之發想。現場裝置的背鰭板,可令觀者穿梭其中,猶如置身鯨豚,而造成傷疤的人為物件,如塑膠袋、螺旋槳等物,以其形翻製成白蠟筆,供觀者在鰭上留痕。當我們得以解讀鯨豚體側傷疤符碼時,也警醒到人類正在助長什麼樣的生存環境。
Deep Blue Tower of Babel | Wooden base, crayon, animated projection
Risso’s dolphin gets scars from natural causes, such as fights with other dolphins and enemies, and human effects, such as fishhooks and being rammed by boats. The scars are how the animal replies to exterior influences. The dorsal fin is an important means of distinguishing a cetacean. For over ten years, the Kuroshio Ocean Education Foundation has been working on a photo-ID project for Risso’s dolphins, which inspired this piece. Walking in and around the fin-shaped panels, viewers fell as if they were inside a pod of dolphins. Objects that harm dolphins, such as plastic bags and boat propellers, have been made into white crayons which viewers may use to draw scars on the fins. When we come to understand the code of scars on cetaceans’ bodies, we will realize what kind of living environment humanity is creating.

參展藝術家|黑潮海洋文教基金會×林盈潔×張根耀
黑潮海洋文教基金會成立於1998年,宗旨為關懷台灣海洋環境、生態與文化。2010年起,進行花蓮海域瑞氏海豚(花紋海豚)個體辨識研究計畫(PHOTO ID)。
林盈潔,張根耀,兩人生活於台南並以此為創作基地。2019 年受邀節點藝術空間的展覽「內海」,從此關注台灣內海水文地誌、鯨豚生態與救援行動、民間傳說等,藉由影像、現地裝置、田野調查與文字書寫進行創作,作品曾於蕭壠文化園區、阿根廷聖馬丁文化中心、愛國婦人館、台南市美術館展出。

The Kuroshio Ocean Education Foundation was founded in 1998 with the mission to care for Taiwan’s marine environment, ecology, and culture. Since 2010, they have conducted a photo-ID project for Risso’s dolphin.
LIN Ying-chieh, born in 1994, and CHANG Ken-yao, born in 1992, are based in Tainan. In 2019, they showed in Zim-Dim Art Space’s Continental Sea, where they gained interest in the marine topography, cetacean ecology/rescue efforts, and folk legends about Taiwan’s ocean. They have since produced related art, field surveys, and writings, showing at Tainan’s Soulangh Cultural Park and Japanese Patriotic Women’s Association, the Tainan Art Museum, and the General San Martín Cultural Centre in Argentina.
