元现代主义者宣言 // METAMODERNIST MANIFESTO

[关于艺术、运动、与时代的 元现代主义者的宣言。] 翻译及原文如下：

1. 我们认识到振荡是世界的自然秩序。

2. 我们必须解放自己，摆脱由整整一个世纪以来现代主义意识形态的幼稚无知以及与其对立的杂种后代的愤世嫉俗和虚伪所造成的惯性。

3. 通过在立场之间的振荡，运动将从此成为可能。对立的观念就像巨大电动机的两极电脉冲一样运作，推动世界进入行动。

4. 我们承认所有运动和经验的固有局限性，以及试图超越其既定界限的任何企图的徒劳。系统的本质上不完整应促使我们遵守：不是为了达到一个给定的目标或成为其路线的奴隶，而是为了或许通过替代能窥见某些隐藏的外部。如果我们像那些界限可能被超越一样着手我们的任务，这将使存在本身变得丰富多彩，因为这样的行动揭示世界。

5. 所有事物都被困在向最大熵失真状态的不可逆转滑动中。艺术创作出发于其中的差异的起源或揭示。影响的顶峰是对差异其本身的无中介体验。艺术的角色必须是探索艺术本身自相矛盾的雄心壮志，通过将“过剩”引导向“展现”。

6. 当下是即时性和过时性这对双胞胎同时降生的症状。今天，我们既是怀旧主义者，也是未来主义者。新技术使我们能够从多个立场同时体验和实施事件。这些新兴网络不仅不会标志着历史的消亡，反而促进了历史的民主化，揭示了其宏大叙事可能在此时此刻通向的分叉路径。

7. 就像科学追求诗意的优雅一样，艺术家也可以追求真理。所有信息都是知识的基础，无论是经验性的还是警句式的，无论它的真实度如何。我们应该拥抱科学-诗意的综合，也拥抱魔幻现实主义的知情后的愚昧。错误孕育见识。

8. 我们提出一种不受意识形态桎梏的实用浪漫主义。因此，元现代主义应该被定义为处于讽刺和真诚之间、幼稚和熟知之间、相对主义和绝对真理之间、乐观和怀疑之间的流动状态，追逐各种不同和难以捉摸的许多地平线。我们必须前进并振荡！

1.We recognise oscillation to be the natural order of the world.

2.We must liberate ourselves from the inertia resulting from a century of modernist ideological naivety and the cynical insincerity of its antonymous bastard child.

3.Movement shall henceforth be enabled by way of an oscillation between positions, with diametrically opposed ideas operating like the pulsating polarities of a colossal electric machine, propelling the world into action.

4.We acknowledge the limitations inherent to all movement and experience, and the futility of any attempt to transcend the boundaries set forth therein. The essential incompleteness of a system should necessitate an adherence, not in order to achieve a given end or be slaves to its course, but rather perchance to glimpse by proxy some hidden exteriority. Existence is enriched if we set about our task as if those limits might be exceeded, for such action unfolds the world.

5.All things are caught within the irrevocable slide towards a state of maximum entropic dissemblance. Artistic creation is contingent upon the origination or revelation of difference therein. Affect at its zenith is the unmediated experience of difference in itself. It must be art’s role to explore the promise of its own paradoxical ambition by coaxing excess towards presence.

6.The present is a symptom of the twin birth of immediacy and obsolescence. Today, we are nostalgists as much as we are futurists. The new technology enables the simultaneous experience and enactment of events from a multiplicity of positions. Far from signalling its demise, these emergent networks facilitate the democratisation of history, illuminating the forking paths along which its grand narratives may navigate the here and now.

7.Just as science strives for poetic elegance, artists might assume a quest for truth. All information is grounds for knowledge, whether empirical or aphoristic, no matter its truth-value. We should embrace the scientific-poetic synthesis and informed naivety of a magical realism. Error breeds sense.

8.We propose a pragmatic romanticism unhindered by ideological anchorage. Thus, metamodernism shall be defined as the mercurial condition between and beyond irony and sincerity, naivety and knowingness, relativism and truth, optimism and doubt, in pursuit of a plurality of disparate and elusive horizons. We must go forth and oscillate!
