Artist / WU—LIAO corpus participant

Sun Xun

孙逊

How can a person search for an authentic self without turning authenticity into another fixed identity?

人如何寻找真心自性,同时不把“真实”变成另一种固定身份?

WU—LIAO / 孙逊
WHY WE RETURN / 为什么再次回到这组对话

The Sun Xun sequence moves among the brain and heart, animality, the NPC as a figure of programmed existence, boredom, education, artistic visibility and the authority of silence. Read together, these records do not offer a stable doctrine of the self. They stage selfhood as an unfinished practice of noticing what acts through us: desire, habit, bodily impulse, platform attention and the wish to become free of them.

孙逊系列在脑与心、动物性、作为程序化生存隐喻的NPC、无聊、教育、艺术可见性与沉默的权威之间移动。将这些资料并读,它们并未给出一套稳定的自我学说,而是把自我呈现为一种未完成的察觉实践:欲望、习惯、身体冲动、平台注意力,以及摆脱它们的愿望,分别如何通过我们行动。

THREE THREADS / 三条线索

Follow the sequence, not only the quote.

沿着整个系列阅读,而不只停在一句话上。

01

Selfhood, NPC and animality

自性、NPC与动物性

The NPC names existence governed by scripts, while animality names impulses that cannot simply be removed. The search for an authentic self therefore becomes less a purification than an inquiry into which forces one can recognise, negotiate or refuse.

NPC指向受脚本支配的存在,动物性则指向无法被简单去除的冲动。寻找真心自性因此不是纯化,而是追问哪些力量能够被识别、协商或拒绝。

02

Brain, heart and attentive creation

脑、心与注意性的创作

The brain/heart distinction initially separates planning from felt experience, but the sequence repeatedly collapses that binary. Writing, listening, meditation and learning appear as changing arrangements of analysis and presence.

脑/心区分最初把计划与感受经验分开,但系列不断瓦解这一二元结构。书写、倾听、打坐与学习成为分析和在场的不同组合。

03

Visibility, authority and silence

可见性、权威与沉默

Platform visibility is presented as a poor measure of intellectual or artistic value. Yet refusing visibility entirely can also remove difficult work from public life. The archive keeps this conflict open instead of resolving it through personal branding.

平台可见性被视为衡量思想或艺术价值的贫乏标准;但完全拒绝可见性,也可能让困难的工作退出公共生活。档案保持这一冲突开放,而不以个人品牌解决它。

TENSIONS / 仍在发生的张力

We keep the contradictions in view.

01

Authenticity / fixed essence

真实/固定本质

Searching for a true self can resist social programming, but it can also invent a pure essence that never existed outside relation.

寻找真实自我能够抵抗社会程序,却也可能虚构一个从未脱离关系而存在的纯粹本质。

02

Silence / public responsibility

沉默/公共责任

Silence may protect thought from platform simplification; circulation may be necessary for thought to enter a shared field.

沉默可以保护思想免受平台简化;传播又可能是思想进入共享场域的必要条件。

FROM OUR PRACTICE / 回到我们的实践

Our questions do not ask Sun Xun for a single definition of selfhood. They create transitions—from a bodily metaphor to education, from personal practice to platform authority—so that a philosophical problem remains mobile across ordinary examples.

我们的提问并不要求孙逊给出自我的单一定义,而是创造转换:从身体隐喻到教育,从个人实践到平台权威,使哲学问题能够穿过日常例子持续移动。
