螢光異變,隱線的引現。
「玩聚場」以隨機性和實驗性的演出,引誘我們「脫離日常」,更加的放鬆、沉浸在表演的驚喜和與身邊人們的互動之中;「煉金術」是物質轉化的神秘學科,這是一種相信銅能夠變成黃金的信仰;藝術家取其「轉化」定下這次的創作主體:「螢光異變」。以創作講述一個日常平常的「空總臺灣當代文化實驗場C-LAB」被人造生命光蟲「異變」,讓許多原本平凡的地點,變成螢光世界的創作。讓整個藝術節增添一個神祕的面紗;也是一個互動的「驚豔」作品,勾引著觀者的詢問和探訪。將整個「遊戲、探詢」的想法拓展出去。
藝術家化身光蟲,以演出者同樣的隨機心態,在「空總臺灣當代文化實驗場C-LAB」的表演區域遊走,將碰到的各種地點「變成螢光」;即是讓各個小地方充滿了螢光的迷你環境藝術創作,讓其與原本空總的色調呼應,創造出「日常中的非日常」效果。這也像是空總對應於都會的台北,是一片文化的樂土,繼承了歷史,又活出了全新的彩色篇章。

艸非火
「螢光異變」的藝術團隊,是由藝術家辛綺和策展人陳雋中及其他對藝術一頭熱的閒雜人等,於2016年成立的工作室。工作室正式名稱為「艸螢非火」,暱稱「艸非火」。名稱來由,乃因藝術家除自我表達的創作之外,更需去思考自己做為藝術史和整體人類社會性的定位,創作是一種橋梁,策展要連結虛實(精神性與物質)和古今,而源自白居易一詩「放言五首、其一」:
朝真暮偽何人辨,古往今來底事無。
但愛臧生能詐聖,可知寧子解佯愚。
草螢有耀終非火,荷露雖團豈是珠。
不取燔柴兼照乘,可憐光彩亦何殊。
詩首二句道盡藝術創作的虛實之「變」,次二句又闡明真假之「爭」;對應西洋藝術史上,由「洞穴寓言」到黑格爾的「藝術已死」精神性的永恆昇華。而「草螢有耀終非火,荷露雖團豈是珠」言下之意是螢火蟲發出光亮,但終究不是火;荷葉上的露珠渾圓,也並非珍珠(指出人會被外表所欺騙,而不能發現事物的內在);但其意衍伸到藝術上,藝術創作具有翻轉之能,螢光非火但卻遠勝於火焰,能點燃人心,而外表所見的藝術美學,則和內在的精神性是「表裡如一」了。

The Fluorescent Touch
Fluorescence mutation, the emergence of hidden lines.
With random and experimental performances, "Play Arts" tempts us to "break away from daily life", relax and immerse ourselves in the surprises of the performance and the interaction with people around us. "Alchemy" is a mysterious subject of material transformation. It is a belief that copper can be turned into gold. Art work "the Fluorescent touch" (from "the golden touch") focus on the concept of "transformation". "Light insect" created by artist Xin Qi, secretly enter our world, and randomly transform ordinary objects into fluorescent colors. Created the effect of "non-daily in daily life".
