Xu Bing has been one of the most distinguished artists in the Chinese avant-garde art scene since the mid 1980s. Born in 1955, he has undergone China's turbulent social, political, and cultural changes in the second half of the twentieth-century. His art work, however, does not show direct references of such contexts. Seemingly aloof from the ideological conflicts and social criticism of the contemporary China, he experiments with writings as either graphic form or content that range from the format of ancient Chinese scrolls to the Western alphabets. Ironically, however, his characters and texts are mostly nonsensical. In an attempt to ridicule the way in which human perception is bound in the fixed world of signification, Xu Bing imitates the contours of Chinese characters and arrange them in such a way that confuses the reader's literacy.
Drawing a cue from Xu Bing's time-consuming efforts in creating the world of fake letters, this paper aims to explore the meaning of 'slow' technology in high art, one that intends to revive the sense of craftsmanship and artistry in countering the age of mechanical reproduction. By the term 'slow' this paper alludes to a process of production that counters the logic of efficiency and mass production that underlies the modern consumerist technology.
Works that are being considered in the paper include "A Book from the Sky"(1989), "Ghost Pounding the Wall"(1990), "Square Word Calligraphy"(1994), and "New English Calligraphy"(1998). ''A Book from the Sky" is a massive installation consisting of scrolls of paper, posters, and books. For this work, Xu Bing invented about 1250 pseudo-characters based on the authoritative Chinese dictionary compiled in 1710 A.D. And he carved more than 2000 wood blocks over a year. In terms of its visual impact, "A Book from the Sky" echoes the importance of the written word in all its forms throughout Chinese history.
"Ghost Pounding the Wall" consists of 1300 sheets of chinese ink-rubbing attained from a painful, time-consuming labor of 'pounding' the Great Wall of China which involved some thirty people over a month. In the "Square Word Calligraphy," on the other hand, Xu Bing transforms the English alphabets into the pseudo-Chinese radicals and concocts them to look like Chinese characters. So the viewers can read these seemingly Chinese characters as English words. Overarching these works is the notion of slow technology and its effect of de-familiarization aimed at a culture that is saturated in the myth and authority of letters and symbols.
