鲁滨逊漂流记

Robinson Crusoe

林科在电脑上通过搜索关键词“island”找到了一张岛屿的图片，把这张图片设置成电脑桌面并将电脑硬盘命名为鲁滨逊，同时，拖动这个鲁滨逊硬盘图标并录制了操作的过程。这个电脑操作表演被命名为“鲁滨逊漂流记”并把它上传到了优酷（中国的YouTube）来测试优酷网站能是否能接受高清的视频。

两年之后，林科发现这个视频被大量播放，并且很多观众留下了恶意的留言，这时他才意识到“鲁滨逊漂流记”是一个著名的名字，很多网络观众通过搜索关键词“鲁滨逊漂流记”访问了这个视频。这样的结果完全超出了林科的意料。再后来，这个视频被艺术世界接受，成为其很重要的一件作品。

Robinson Crusoe

Lin Ke found an image of an island from an online search of the keyword "island". The artist used this picture for his computer desktop and named his hard-drive as Robinson Crusoe. Meanwhile, he dragged the Robinson Crusoe hard-drive icon and recorded this process. This computer-operated performance was named Robinson Crusoe and was later uploaded to Youku (The Chinese version of YouTube). The original purpose to upload this video was to test whether the Youku website would accept HD videos.

Two years later, Lin Ke found out this video had a large number of hits, and many viewers left him negative comments on the page. Just then, Lin Ke realized that Robinson Crusoe is the name of a famous person, and many online surfers found this video through a keyword search for Robinson Crusoe. This outcome was completely beyond Lin’s expectations. Later, this video was accepted in the art world and became one of Lin Ke’s important works. 

宇宙文件夹01

The Universe Folder 01

这是林科第一次使用操作界面进行屏幕表演。林科在电脑中创建了一个名叫“宇宙”的文件夹，把对“宇宙”的常识都装到里面。在打开这个宇宙文件夹之后，便可以看到他的意识正在宇宙中循环地运行。

This is Lin Ke’s first attempt to adopt the operator interfaces for a screen performance. Lin created a folder called universe in his computer, and then added various types of common knowledge about the universe into this folder. When Lin opens this universe folder, the viewers would be able to witness Lin’s conscience wanders through this universe.

传统罗曼史

Traditional Romance

《传统罗曼史》是一首经典的曲子。一天下午，林科正在操作Photoshop软件，这首曲子正在他的电脑中循环播放。由于被这首音乐洗脑，林科不由自主地哼唱了起来，同时他的手也跟着摆动。此时，作为创作者的林科意识到表演已经开始了，于是马上按下了录制开关。这就是林科的《传统罗曼史》。

Traditional Romance is a classic song. In an afternoon, as Lin Ke worked with the Photoshop software, this song played continuously on his computer. Caught by the tunes of the song, Lin found himself singing along while he swung his hand to the rhythm. As an artist, Lin realized that the performance has started, so he immediately pressed on the recording button. This is Lin’s Traditional Romance.

星际旅行1080p

Star Travel 1080p

有一天林科在朋友家过夜，他的朋友买了新的iMac电脑，这台电脑比林科自己的笔记本电脑分辨率更高，于是他想到可以为《星际旅行系列》录制一个高清版本。这就是林科的《星际旅行1080p》，在这个视频中你可以听到崭新的苹果鼠标在桌面滑动的声音。

One day, Lin Ke spent the night at a friend's home. His friend bought a new iMac. This computer has a higher resolution than Lin's laptop, so he came up with an idea of recording an HD version of his Star Travel series. This became Lin’s Star Travel 1080p. With this version, you can also hear the sound of the new Apple mouse sliding on the desktop.

洗手

Washing Hands

有一天，艺术视频公司Action Media的创始人——钱龙在为林科制作一则艺术家纪录片。他想要一些林科正在操作电脑的画面，因为林科的很多作品都是用电脑来创作的。于是林科随机打开了电脑桌面上的一张图片，开始快速和漫无目的地操作电脑。当时林科的电脑正在播放一个电子乐，他跟随了音乐的节奏。这就是这件作品《洗手》。

One day, the founder of the art video company Action Media--Qian Long was making an artist documentary for Lin Ke. Qian wanted some image of Lin working on his computer since the computer is the most crucial media for Lin to make artworks. So Lin opened a random image in his computer and started to operate it quickly and aimlessly. At the time, Lin’s computer was playing electronic music, so he followed the rhythm of the music. This is Lin’s Washing Hands.

Today

“那个时候，我的工作室是在江边的一个高层公寓里。那里有非常开阔的视野，我可以每天欣赏日出和日落，也许我是受此影响，制作了这件作品。”

                                                                     ——林科

“At that time, my studio was in a high-rise apartment along the riverside. It had a panoramic view so that I could enjoy the sunrise and sunset every day. Maybe this view had an influence on me, so I made this video.”

                                                                      --Lin Ke

电子乐总让人跳舞02

Electronic Music Always 

Makes People Dance No.2

林科录制这个视频的时间是2011年。那个时候中国的网络防火墙还没有今天这么“厉害”。林科当时住在杭州——那个孕育了像阿里巴巴这样的互联网公司的城市。那里的网络也非常的顺畅。有一天，林科发现这些网页动图（GIF图片）都是被关键词关联在一起的。林科在这些关键词的链接中跳转，发现它们和正在在线播放的音乐节奏完美地契合，于是他一边听着在线音乐，一边随机地浏览网页，这看起来像是一个音乐录像带。 

Lin Ke recorded this video in 2011. At the time, the Great Firewall of China was yet to be as powerful as it has become today. Lin Ke lived in Hangzhou, the city that gave birth to Internet companies, such as Alibaba. The internet speed in Hangzhou was also very fast. One day, Lin realized that the online GIF images were linked by keywords. He clicked around different pages about these keywords, and he realized the page forwarding fit perfectly with the rhythm of the music he was listening to. So, he listened to music while browsing the pages randomly. It's like a music video. 

比如我

Like Me

“但他们发现这是一个陷阱，就像毒品一样。因为当梦境变得比现实更加重要时，你就会放弃旅行、建造、创造。你甚至忘记如何修理那些祖先留下来的机器。你只是坐着，不断的活在其他人的思想里。探测动物园样本的思想，比如我。”

以上是林科在《星际迷航：原初系列》里看到一段电影对白。他非常惊讶这个足以完美形容当下的对白竟是来自于上世纪60年代的科幻剧本。当下的林科正是坐在电脑面前，并感觉到自己慢慢远离自然的世界。林科把这段对白拷贝了下来，保存到了电脑桌面。后来有一天，林科想成为一个说唱歌手，但是他没有歌词，于是就打开了这个文本，开始诵读这段对白。

“But they realized it's a trap, like narcotics. Because when the dreams become more important than the reality you would give up travel, building, creating. You would even forget how to repair the machines left behind by your ancestors. You just sit there, and live in the thoughts of others, where you probe the ideas of the zoological samples, like me.”

This phrase was part of a monologue Lin Ke has drawn from the film Star Trek: The Original Series. Lin is very surprised how a line in film from the 1960s’ science fiction is able to describe the present world perfectly, just like Lin himself sitting in front of the computer slowly faded away from the natural world. Lin Ke copied this line and saved it to his computer. One day, Lin had the idea of becoming a rapper but had no lyrics. Then, he found this line and began to read it.

Since 2010, Lin Ke has shifted his attention to performance art in computer age by making himself his own Guinea pig. Converting his laptop into a studio, Lin extracts material from computer software and the Internet as the fodder and form of his art. The mundane act of exploring the vicissitudes of the world wide web and various applications becomes the catalyst for art making and self-portraiture. He records operational behavior and conceptual images by using screenshots and screen recording software. His work takes the form of installation, image, sound, text, video and computer painting. His work has been shown at OCAT Contemporary Art Terminal, ZKM (Karlsruhe), Museum Folkwang (Essen), Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (Tokyo), Shanghai Minsheng art museum, the Power Station of Art, He Xiangning Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art (CFCCA) (Manchester) and other institutions.
