跨領域藝術合作溝通模式研究──以駐村經驗為例

Communication Model of Interdisciplinary Art Collaboration as Research: Cases of Artists-in-Residence

臺灣近年來對於跨領域藝術合作日趨重視，但該領域的研究報告，多在討論新材料與藝術呈現方式間的衝撞，對於團隊中的合作溝通狀態則較少有分析探究。本研究討論在跨領域藝術合作中個體間的溝通模式，以遠房親戚實驗室「芥面－－正體中文版1.0」計畫為主要觀察項目，討論在跨領域的藝術實驗中，團隊在進行溝通、計畫定位與工作流程之關係。此外，另分析團隊與駐村單位之間的合作與協調紀錄，並輔佐對外公開之演講、評論專文等資料，以建構臺灣當代藝術創作環境中，跨領域藝術合作之溝通模型。結果顯示，在跨領域藝術合作中存有兩個面向的認知與溝通狀態，其一是社會環境對跨領域藝術的整體想像，在這個層面上藝術團隊與駐村單位，對於跨領域實驗、創新等定義，因受一般民眾對於藝術展品形式的刻板印象，而影響到了跨領域實驗的執行。另一層面則取決於每一次的合作狀態，其文本、參與者與意識流動，都會因不同的計畫內容與成員而擁有不同的溝通模式。整體而言，成員間的意識流動受到合作定位與執行能力所影響，成員若能清楚條列式地說明需求與進度，較易能確認計畫定位，並維持和善愉快的溝通狀態。而現今網路協作工具的發展，讓成員能方便地進行討論與分享資訊，留言板中的可愛貼圖與工作照片分享，則可創建較為輕鬆的工作氛圍，讓枯燥的實驗過程增添樂趣。

Interdisciplinary art collaboration is gaining attention in Taiwan. However, past research has mainly focused on the conflicts between new media/materials and forms of presentation instead of analyzing methods of interdisciplinary collaboration and communication. Studying the case of“Intergrass: Traditional Chinese Edition 1.0,”a project by LAB of the Distant Relatives, this research aims to determine how a team collaborates on an interdisciplinary art project, including their methods of communication, alignment, and determining workflow. Furthermore, by analyzing records of discussions between the artist residency program and the artist team, along with their public speeches and art reviews on the project, this study proposes a communication model of interdisciplinary art collaboration in the Taiwanese contemporary art context. The results indicate that the cognitive and communicative statuses of interdisciplinary collaborations are influenced by two types of factors, namely, social stereotypes and team contexts. On the one hand, the general public’s expectation of how artworks should be exhibited constrains how the artist team and residency program define cross–discipline experiments and innovations, and ultimately affects the outcomes of interdisciplinary experiments. On the other hand, interdisciplinary collaborations are also influenced by the text, collaborators, and conscious flows, as these factors affect the methods of communication. In general, the conscious flow among collaborators is affected by the roles of collaborators and their ability to execute. Therefore, listing one’s needs and progress will facilitate team alignment and encourage a more harmonious communication environment. Discussions and the sharing of information can be facilitated with the help of digital cooperation tools. For instance, posting cute emojis and sharing photos of works can foster a friendlier work environment, making the dull process of experimentation more enjoyable. Through these discoveries, we hope to shed some light on the exploration of the internal process of interdisciplinary art collaboration.
