2025臺北藝術節：蘇文琪╳YILAB一當代舞團《暗宇之感》

✶ 臺北表演藝術中心、墨爾本藝術中心（Asia TOPA墨爾本亞太表演藝術三年展）、荷蘭烏特勒支春天表演藝術節、香港西九文化區聯手跨國共製精彩沉浸式作品

✶ 一場關於人類感知能力的深刻寓言，以舞者身體 探測神秘暗物質宇宙 

✶ 藝術與科學交織，超越維度的碰撞

宇宙的隱形結構，引發一場感知的探問：我們所處的世界，充滿了看不見的結構與力量。科學家告訴我們，肉眼可見、儀器可測的星辰、塵埃乃至我們自身，僅佔宇宙總體組成的5%以下。而那其餘佔據宇宙超過95%的浩瀚存在，由神秘的暗物質（Dark Matter）與暗能量構成。特別是暗物質，它如同宇宙中一張巨大、隱形的網，其引力牽引著星系的形成與運轉，默默塑造了我們所知的宇宙樣貌。它無處不在，甚至此刻就可能穿過我們的身體，卻幾乎不與光、不與任何我們熟悉的方式互動。我們看不見它，也摸不著它。

這個巨大、明明存在卻無法觸及的未知狀態，深深吸引了編舞家暨新媒體藝術家蘇文琪。作為一位長期探索身體與科技關係的創作者，她不禁思考：如果連最先進的科學儀器都難以捕捉暗物質，我們是否能用另一種方式——用我們的身體，我們的感知——去貼近、去「感覺」這股塑造宇宙的隱藏力量？這便是VR沉浸式展演《暗宇之感》的創作起點，一場試圖以藝術回應宇宙終極謎團的感官探索。

自2016年在瑞士歐洲核子研究組織（CERN）駐村起，藝術與科學的對話便成為蘇文琪創作的核心路徑之一。她發現，儘管科學家與藝術家描述世界的方式迥異，但對於宇宙奧秘（如重力、黑洞、暗物質）的無限想像力與探問精神卻是共通的。這份經驗促使她持續透過藝術實踐，轉譯科學概念中的詩意與哲思，而非進行科普解說。在創作VR作品《黑洞博物館＋身體瀏覽器》探索重力概念後，蘇文琪決定更深入地探究關於暗物質的主題。

為了創作《暗宇之感》，蘇文琪與其團隊YILAB一當代舞團展開了一系列跨國、跨領域的深度合作。他們攜手澳洲墨爾本大學的ARC暗物質粒子物理卓越研究中心（ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics），並與該中心主任、實驗物理學家伊麗莎白・芭貝里奧（Elisabetta Barberio）教授，以及曾在CERN合作、來自西班牙的理論物理學家迪亞歌・布拉斯（Diego Blas）博士進行了深入對話。更關鍵的是，團隊實際前往位於澳洲維多利亞州、地下一公里深的斯托爾地下物理實驗室（Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory, SUPL），一個隔絕宇宙射線、專門探測暗物質的獨特場域，進行駐地研究與實地採集。

在這趟深入地底的旅程中，舞者的身體扮演了敏銳的「探測器」。在SUPL幽暗、恆溫恆濕的礦坑隧道中，舞者田孝慈不僅用身體回應空間的物理特性——氣壓、濕度、寂靜與潛藏的能量流動，更試圖將科學家關於暗物質粒子行為的龐雜理論、數據與猜想，轉譯為直觀的動作語彙和能量狀態。接著，團隊運用3D掃描與全身動態捕捉（Motion Capture）技術，將舞者細微的身體語彙轉化為數位化的粒子。在VR的虛擬宇宙中，這些粒子不再僅是模擬人形，它們更像是承載了科學家對暗物質動態的猜想，幻化成漂浮、流動、交織的星塵，引導觀眾的目光與感知。

《暗宇之感》的目標並非製作一部科學紀錄片，而是創造一個讓觀眾能「體感」暗物質的沉浸式環境。因此，聲音扮演了與視覺同等重要的角色。聲音設計師吳秉聖特別為此作建構了精密的多聲道環繞聲場系統（64聲道 Ambisonics）。在虛擬空間中的每一次轉頭、每一次移動，甚至每一次呼吸，都可能觸發聲音細微的變化。整個宇宙隱匿的低語、粒子碰撞的想像、空間的迴響，彷彿就在耳邊流動，讓聽覺成為在黑暗中導航、感知空間的重要依據。

製作《暗宇之感》，對蘇文琪與團隊而言，是一次重新學習「感知」的過程。在這個資訊爆炸、事事追求透明與解析的時代，神秘和未知似乎變得稀少。但藝術家相信，人類內心深處依然需要一些無法被完全解釋、無法被完全掌控的存在，如同暗物質，如同我們對宇宙的好奇，對生命本身的探問。《暗宇之感》是一件高度跨國合作的成果，由臺北表演藝術中心與澳洲墨爾本亞太表演藝術三年展 (Asia TOPA)、荷蘭烏特勒支春天藝術節 (SPRING Performing Arts Festival)與香港西九文化區 (WestK)共同製作，並獲得澳洲墨爾本科學畫廊（Science Gallery Melbourne）的支持完成世界首演。

即使在最深沉的黑暗處，在失重的虛空中，人類的意識與身體，依然可以起舞、漂浮，回應著那無聲卻深刻的牽引。與「不可見」共存的狀態，或許正是我們在這個時代，仍然需要藝術、仍然需要舞蹈的理由。《暗宇之感》邀請您一同潛入這片黑暗，釋放五感，用身體，去感受宇宙的未知。

YILAB一當代舞團

YILAB一當代舞團由蘇文琪於2005年創立，以獨特的跨媒介視角重新描繪當代表演藝術的可能性。團隊秉持「作品中不存在單一中心媒介，而是由看似相近卻能相互碰撞的概念構成」的創作理念。在這個創意生態中，每位藝術家都保持其獨立個體性，自由表達觀點，共同探索作品核心命題的深層意義。 YILAB的創作特色在於巧妙融合舞蹈、視覺藝術與新媒體技術，以流動的形式探索數位時代中身體與科技的多重關係。團隊致力於新的表達語彙與美學路徑，同時希望為觀眾提供了一個獨特的視角，透過藝術來思考科技與人文之間的動態平衡，以及我們在這個日益數位化世界中的身份與意義。

【About the Performance】

In the vast universe, 95% of existence remains invisible to us - a mysterious web of dark matter and dark energy that silently orchestrates the movement of galaxies and shapes the cosmos as we know it. It is omnipresent, possibly passing through our bodies at this very moment, yet cannot be touched or directly perceived.

This immense unknown deeply captivates choreographer and new media artist SU Wen-Chi. She contemplates: if even the most advanced scientific instruments struggle to capture dark matter, could we approach this hidden force that shapes the universe through other means - through our bodies, through perception?

To create "Sensing Dark Matter," SU Wen-Chi and YILAB ventured into Australia's underground dark matter laboratory one kilometer beneath the surface, engaging in dialogue with physicists. Dancers became "detectors," responding to the imagination of dark matter within the shadowy space. Through 3D scanning and motion capture technology, the dancers' physical vocabulary transforms into flowing particles of light in a virtual universe, accompanied by a 64-channel surround sound system where every breath triggers whispers from the cosmos.

This is not a scientific documentary, but an immersive journey of relearning "perception." In an era that pursues transparency and analysis, "Sensing Dark Matter" reminds us that the human spirit still needs mysterious existences that cannot be fully explained. We invite you to dive into darkness, release your senses, and feel the universe's unknown through your body - because even in the deepest void, human consciousness and body can still dance, responding to that silent yet profound pull.

【Artist Profile】

SU Wen-Chi

SU Wen-Chi is a choreographer, and new media artist who founded YILAB in 2005, dedicated to innovative integration of new media and performing arts.

She has received the Special Jury Award at the 9th Taishin Arts Award and was invited to participate in Cloud Gate's Spring Riot 2024, continuously expanding her artistic boundaries.

YILAB

YILAB was founded by SU Wen-Chi in 2005, reimagining the possibilities of contemporary performing arts through a unique cross-media perspective. The company embraces a creative philosophy that "no single central medium exists within a work; rather, it is composed of concepts that appear similar yet collide with one another." Within this creative ecosystem, each artist maintains their individual identity, freely expressing perspectives while collectively exploring the deeper meaning behind each project's core themes. YILAB's distinctive creative approach lies in its skillful integration of dance, visual art, and new media art, exploring the multiple relationships between body and technology in the digital age through fluid forms of expression. The team is dedicated to developing new artistic vocabularies and aesthetic pathways, while providing audiences with a unique perspective to contemplate the dynamic balance between technology and humanity, as well as our identity and meaning in an increasingly digitized world.
