行为实验系列,地点:美国麦迪逊和北京;Performance in series, location: Madison, WI, US, and Beijing. Participants: Migual Bega, Jane X, Kel Mur, Ella Guo, Qiu Jianye, Emma Kate Stoehr, Pan Zijian, Zhu Haoyu, Douglas Rosenberg
参与者被邀请选择身体的某一部位,并将莓果置于其上。一旦建立了这种关系,参与者便专注于维持这段关系并不断修复过程中出现的问题。莓果不断滚落、移动,随着时间推进,皮肤的搔痒、肌肉的酸痛逐渐显现。每位参与者以自己的方式稳定莓果的位置,维持这段关系直到结束。实验的持续时长由参与者自行决定,他们可以选择在任何时刻终止这段关系,并考虑是否以及何时开始下一段关系。
Participants were invited to choose a part of their body and place berries on it. Once this singular relationship with the berries was established, participants focused on maintaining the connection, avoiding direct observation of their actions, and enduring the challenges that arose during the process of adjustment. As the berries continued to roll off, sensations of itching on the skin and muscle soreness gradually emerged. Each participant stabilized the position of each berry in their own way, maintaining the relationship. The duration of the experiment was determined by the participants, who could choose to terminate the relationship at any point and reflect on whether and when to start a new one.
