Above 之上2.0

《之上2.0》發生在萬華區的老公寓五樓，於窗框與女兒牆上搭建一個長四點二公尺的原木平台，使藝術空間敞開，從室內延伸到室外，破除空間內外的阻隔。將藝術事件的場地從『美術館』這個特定場域解放，介入『現實生活』融入在地。在《之上1.0》為生活事件介入藝術場域，2.0轉變為藝術事件介入日常生活。

行為者的身分少了場域加持，成為一位女性、一位市民、一位年輕人，身穿正裝宛若一位上班族，運作一件看似自我毀滅的事件，而這種身處絕境的危險，威脅的是自己也是他人，甚至是整個城市社會。危機所帶來的威脅不是訴求，反而是突顯某種處境。

現場行為一共四場，每次六十分鐘。 行為者經歷風吹與日曬，在風與光的外在抗力下，悠哉地持續嗑著瓜子。室內的木頭平台，上方放置五包瓜子，第一包為《之上 1.0》在布拉格嗑的向日葵種子，其餘四包為《之上 2.0》行為期間使用的西瓜子，以十秒嗑一顆來計算，每包盛裝三百六十顆瓜子。

每一場行為以拿取瓜子為開始，行為者打開袋子的束口將塑膠繩套至左手，捧著瓜子走向陽台，等待確保裝備完成後踏上平台，一步步慢慢走出去，一次比一次更加外面，在木板彈性可以支撐的範圍內嗑著瓜子。一次行為一包瓜子，六十分鐘後，行為者將剩下的瓜子與袋子放回平台上，結束行為，無中場休息。

“Above 2.0” happened on the fifth floor of an old apartment in Wanhua District in Taipei City. A 4.2-meter-long wood platform was built on the window frame and parapet wall to release the art space, extending from the interior to exterior, eliminating the barrier between interior and exterior of the space.

“Above 2.0” liberates the field of art events from the specific field of the “art museum” and get involved in real life into the local place. In “Above 1.0”, life events intervene in the field of art, and 2.0 transformed into art events intervene in daily life.

Without the blessings of the field, the identity of the performer became a woman, a citizen and a young man, dressed in formal clothing like an office worker, operating a seemingly self-destructive action. The danger of desperation threatens herself and others, and even the entire society.

The threat posed by the crisis is not an appeal, but rather a highlight of a situation.

On the indoor wood platform, five packs of seeds are placed. The first pack is the sunflower seeds used during the performance of “Above 1.0” in Prague, and the remaining four packs are seeds used during the of “Above 2.0” performances. Calculated by eating one piece in ten seconds, there are three hundred and sixty seeds in one pack.

Every performance starts with taking seeds. The performer opens the pack and puts the plastic noose on her left hand, holding seeds to the balcony, waiting to ensure that the equipment is completed and stepping on the platform, step by step slowly go out further. After 60 minutes, the performer puts the remaining seeds and the pack back on the platform to end the performance.
