陸揚生於中國上海，2010年畢業於中國美術學院，擅長運用多元媒材進行創作，包含錄像、裝置、動畫、數位繪畫、遊戲等，以無𢣷的態度探索與生命本質有關的存在議題。陸揚從科學、宗教、心理學、神經科學、醫學、遊戲、流行文化和音樂等領域尋找其策略並將之混合，以推翻「人類控制在宇宙中高於一切」的虛幻想像，相反的，她的作品突顯人類存在的生理和物質決定因素，提醒我們自身存在的短暫及脆弱，同時又透著些許黑色幽默，排除了感傷的可能。陸揚的作品曾在不同個展及群展中展出，包含北京尤倫斯當代藝術中心、北京木木美術館、巴黎龐畢度中心、第五十六屆威尼斯雙年展中國館、第三屆伊斯坦堡設計雙年展、2016年利物浦雙年展、2012年上海雙年展、2016年蒙特婁國際數位藝術雙年展、里昂當代美術館、柏林Momentum藝術中心、坦帕美術館、第五屆福岡亞洲藝術三年展及東京Spiral（華歌爾藝術中心）的個展等。
Born and based in Shanghai, Lu Yang graduated from the China Academy of Art in 2010. LuYang using a variety of media: video, installation, animation, and digital painting, game, the artist unflinchingly explores existential issues about the nature of life and where it resides. Armed with a overlaying mix of strategies taken from Science, Religion, Psychology, Neuroscience, Medicine, Games, Pop Culture and Music, among others, Lu Yang overrides the often delusional belief that humans control are privileged within this universe. Instead, she highlights the biological and material determinants of our condition reminding us of our transient and fragile existence, but with an edge of dark humor that leaves no room for sentimentality. LuYang’s works have been featured in important solo and group exhibitions at the UCCA (Beijing), Mwoods museum (Beijing), Centre Pompidou (Paris), 56th Venice Biennale 2015 China Pavillion,3rd Istanbul Design Biennial, Liverpool Biennial 2016, Shanghai Biennale 2012, Montreal International Digital Art Biennial2016, Musée d’art contemporain of Lyon, Momentum (Berlin), Tampa Museum of Art,The 5th Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale, solo show in Spiral Tokyo, etc. |
電磁腦神教！ 誕生！
印度教和佛教講這個世界的組成元素分為“地，水，火，風”，稱為四大。佛教把人類瀕死過程稱 為四大分解。地大降於水大，水大降於火大，火大降於風大，最後風大分離，徹底死亡。《維摩 經》說:「四大合故,假名為身;四大無主,身亦無我。」 人身的肌肉等堅固質屬地，流動如血液津液等屬水，體溫屬火，以及體內氣分屬風。此四種物皆見於大千世界，故稱為大。 電磁腦神教內的四個神則是對應了四大痛苦在神經系統中的關聯。
地神的威神力可以通過調節控制接受疼痛信號的丘腦神經元作用於大腦皮層感覺區來緩解人類的地大之苦。
水神的威神力可以通過調節控制自律神經與調節大腦新舊皮質、下視丘與自律神經的關聯來緩解或免除人類關於血液循環，排泄，唾涕膿血的水大之苦。
人類的體溫，體能等屬於宇宙四大元素中的火大，火神的威神力可以通過控制作用於人類溫度感 受器的神經元參與來緩解或免除人類的火大之苦。
風神駕馭著邊緣系統坐騎馳騁浩瀚宇宙化解著人類的風大之苦。風神的威神力通過調節控制人類 的呼吸中樞來緩解或免除人類的風大之苦。
這個作品從宗教對於四大的痛苦成分對應到神經系統內大腦感知的四大痛苦來創建了可以使用現代醫療設備化解四大痛苦的四大之神。每一個神都有DBS神冠（深層腦刺激神冠）深層腦刺激技術DBS是一個現代醫療非常廣泛的手術技術手段，DBS療法主要是將電極植入到患者腦內，運用脈衝發生器刺激其大腦深部的某些神經核，糾正異常的大腦電環路，從而減輕這些神經方面的症狀。
作品中每一個神都會有一個自我刺激的超必殺，先用DBS技術將自己刺激強化稱為超神，這樣隱喻了作者對於大腦深層多點同步刺激激發人腦潛能的妄想。另外每一個神都有TMS魔法杖的設定（經顱磁刺激技術）這種技術在現代腦科學醫療中運用廣泛 ，通過低強度微量電流刺激大腦，改變患者大腦異常的腦電波，促使大腦分泌一系列與焦慮、抑鬱、失眠等疾病存在密切聯系的神經遞質和激素，以此實現對這些疾病的治療。
作品中每一個神的自我刺激超必殺都用到了TMS魔法杖，強化自我成為神。
DBS技術和TMS技術前者更電刺激更有關，後者跟電磁刺激更有關聯，所以這件作品統稱為電磁腦神教。
這件作品是作者在開發完善一個龐大的關於宗教，醫療，腦科學方面的作品的一個環節，關於這方面的探討，藝術家從2010年的《震顫麻痹計劃》2011年《忿怒金剛核》2015年《陸揚妄想曼陀 羅》2016年《陸揚妄想罪與罰》到2017年《電磁腦神教》以及2018年新作《電磁腦神教-腦制御士》以及未來的作品中作為一個長期思考探索研究的計劃，任何一件作品都是獨立但又和其他作品有持續關聯的。
遠古人類看到有人在天上飛，就尊為神通，天神，而現代科技手段下似乎人人都可以借助科技在 天上飛，瞬間移動，遙視，等等，似乎那些超乎常人的超能力並不能代表宗教。宗教和真理信仰是不同的存在，也許所謂的神通就是科技而已。
這件作品的音樂部分制作邀請了著名J-pop制作團體Invisible manners , 他們除了制作了這個作品的音樂還邀請了著名日本偶像一起制作了2018年新作的《電磁腦神教》主題曲 。
Electromagnetic Brainology
Hinduism and Buddhism believe the world is of 4 elements: earth, water, fire and air, that are the “great elements”. Buddhism describes the near death of human as the dissolution of the elements. First the earth element sinks into the water element, and then the water element sinks into the fire, and fire into the air, and the air element dissolves, leading to the ultimate death. Stated in Vimalakirti Sutra, “The body is the issue of the four main elements, and in these elements there is no owner and no agent.”
Earth element is the firmness in our bodies like our muscles; water element is the liquidity of in our bodies like our blood and body fluid; fire element is our inner temperature, ; and air element is the chi in our bodies. The elements are all seen in the great chiliocosm, hence they are named the great elements.
The 4 deities in the Electromagnetic Brainology refer to 4 pains in the nervous system.
The anubhava of the earth deity controls the neuron in the thalamus which receives the pain signal, acting at the sensory area of the cerebral cortex, to relieve the pain of earth element.
The anubhava of the water deity controls the autonomic nervous system, and the connection among cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, and autonomic nervous system, to relieve and eliminate the pain of water element, such as excretion, blood and pus.
The temperature and stamina of human is categorized into fire element in the 4 great elements. The anubhava of the fire deity controls the neuron at the thermal receptor, to relieve or eliminate the pain of fire element.
The air deity drives on the limbic system across the chiliocosm to relieve the pain of air element. The anubhava of the air deity controls the respiratory center of human to relieve or eliminate the pain of air element.
The artwork creates 4 deities of the great elements, that address to 4 pain received in the brain in the nervous system with modern medical devices.
Each deity owns a DBS mukut (Deep brain stimulation mukut). DBS technology is a widely practiced surgical practice, while in a DBS treatment the electrode is planted in the brain of the patient, making use of pulse generator to stimulate some nerve nucleus deep inside the brain, correcting the abnormal network, hence relieving the symptoms.
Each deity in the artwork has a self-stimulating super combo. They first stimulate and strengthen themselves into a super deity, a metaphor of the artist’s fantasy that a better synchronization deep inside the brain will lead to stimulation of the potential of the human brain.
Besides, every deity is designed to own a TMS wand (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). The technology is widely practiced in the modern neuroscience field, stimulating the brain with small electric currents, correcting the abnormal brainwave, leading the brain to a series of neurotransmitter and hormone that are closely related to the diseases like anxiety, depression, and insomnia, and hence curing the diseases.
The self-stimulating super combo of each deity in the artwork has involved the usage of the TMS wand, strengthening themselves into deities.
DBS technology is related to electric stimulation, while TMS technology is more related to electromagnetic stimulation. The artwork is hence collectively referred to Electromagnetic Brainology.
The artwork is a part of the artist developing a large project of religion, medicalogy, and neuroscience. The artist has been exploring on the topic with Krafttremor - Parkinson's disease orchestra (2010), Wrathful King Kong Core (2011), LuYang Delusional Mandala (2015), LuYang Delusional Crime and Punishment (2016), Electromagnetic Brainology (2017), and the upcoming work Electromagnetic Brainology - [xxx] (2018). Each work is independent while related to the other works.
The ancient people addressed the man flying in the sky as god or deity, while everyone seems to gain the ability of flight, teleportation, and clairvoyance with modern technology. Perhaps the superpowers cannot represent religion. Religion and the faith in truth are different, perhaps the superhuman ability is but technology.
Famous J-Pop writer Invisible manners is invited to produce a part of the music in the artwork. Besides writing the music for the artwork, they also invited famous Japanese idols to produce the theme song of the new work “Electromagnetic Brainology” in 2018.
