張騰遠：「鸚鵡人的出現是順其自然的，我生命中的經歷與旅行都會反應到這個角色裡面。」
“The creation of Parrot Man is natural. What I experienced and where I traveled will naturally reflect on this character.” Teng-Yuan CHANG

張騰遠，視覺藝術家，以反思當代為切入點，透過平面繪畫、動畫裝置，向下一個人類世代的過程樣貌提問。曾獲高雄美術獎首獎，台北美術獎優選。作品受國美館、藝術銀行及高美館等多所機構典藏。屢獲邀約，個展與聯展地點包括紐約、倫敦、科隆、東京、大阪，首爾、台北等地。現創作於台北，複眼藝術工作室負責人。
自2008首次個展開始，張騰遠不間斷地探討肉眼所見的視界，與個人所感知的世界之間相互連動的關係以想像未來，所探討的視角出發點一路跨越角色藩籬與物種界線，到近期嘗試於視角討論中加入第四維度—時間，角色設定因此從現存物種轉移至未來生物，為人所知的鸚鵡人系列因此於2012年誕生。
CHANG Teng-Yuan has committed to demonstrating the visual exploration of different species since his first solo exhibition in 2008 which has always been the most attained subject under CHANG’s paintbrush. CHANG’s experiments on the subject had trespassed the bounds of roles and species, in the recent stage adding up to the fourth dimension―time. The role he created changed from existing species to future creatures, bringing upon the iconic series, Parrot Man, in 2012.
相對於逝去的時間，張騰遠更專注於未來世界。在地球末日的數千年後，那時的地球上還存在什麼？藝術家使用獨特的調色構建超現實的山水景觀，並以完整劇情設定為藝術轉換定錨，將鸚鵡人系列故事背景設定於末日發生數千年之後：遠居於星際邊際的生物學家鸚鵡人降落地球進行所謂「未來考古」，以模仿地球人的行為做為研究地球文明的方法，而由於鸚鵡的模仿是片段性的，因此鸚鵡人多次偏執的模仿及再製行為經常誤判。張騰遠以詼諧幽默的手法一方面透過鸚鵡人之眼刻畫出對於未來的想像，企圖將現有世界的一切符號系統重新洗牌，另一方面則以明顯的時空距離標誌出鸚鵡人對於當代社會現象的疏離感，開啟觀眾對當代狀態與日常慣習進行重新思考的可能性。
Compared to the elapsed time, CHANG focuses more on the future. After the doom of the earth after thousands of years, what has been left? The artist constructs surreal landscapes and scenarios using a distinctive color palette that prophecizes doomsday archaeology. The thorough construction of plotline anchors CHANG’s art alteration. In the Parrot Man series, thousands of years after the doomsday, Parrot Man, a biologist living originally in a remote galaxy, lands on the earth to do the “Future archeology”, endeavoring to recreate earth creatures and phenomena with their high-tech foster techniques. Since the imitation from parrot men is segmental, the setting for parrot men’s research of Earth archaeology is with much misunderstanding and misinterpretation. On one hand, CHANG humorously portrays his future imagination by the perspective of Parrot Man; on the other hand, through explicit time-space distance, he stresses the estranged relationships between Parrot Man and modern society, meanwhile reflecting abnormality of all sorts of social phenomena through the perspective of Parrot Men. Through the multiple attempts of imitation and recreation by Parrot Men, CHANG leads the way to the gates for viewers to reconsider our habitus.
此次展出的五張作品Information(資訊性)，Connection(關聯性)，Operation(執行力)，Relation(聯繫性)，Love(愛)，一直是他創作過程中不斷環繞的關鍵元素，可以發現鸚鵡人「未來考古」之地球旅程中，這五個詞就如同指引方位的指針，幫助藝術家在反思當代與想像科技的過程中疏理曖昧不清的種種當代現象與日常慣習的脈絡，也邀請觀者將鸚鵡人的地球旅程擬想場景延伸至迫近眼前的未來社會，一同對未來世界拋出詰問。
The exhibited five works, Information, Connection, Operation, Relation, and Love, have always been key elements in his artistic statement. In the journey of the “Future Archaeology” of Parrot men, these five words are the compass, which is supportive for the artist to reconcile the context of the abnormal contemporary phenomena and daily habits in the process of reflecting on our time and the imagination of technology. It also invites viewers to extend the parrot’s earth journey scenarios to the upcoming future society and to raise the questions to the future world.
