[lang_cn]本届上海双年展的主题为“重新发电”。这一主题强调社会动员及共同体建造等议题，意指把教育作为社会与艺术领域的一个核心角色。因此，我们将各类国际双年展中常见的研讨会，讲座，及其他交流形式纳入一个短期培训项目，以一项秋季短期学园项目来取代常见的论坛及讲座，以期寻求一种有效，同时极富生产性的交流。
此秋季项目命名为“圆明学园”。“圆”意指圆满，完全、交互循环；“明”则有“启蒙”之意；“学园”意指柏拉图式的智慧及批判共同体。“圆明学园”表明了我们的教育理念：教育是一个学习者共同体的自治行为，它是价值交换与传递的平台。
1.“艺术写作/媒体工作坊”
在全球新的政治、经济趋势带来的普遍不确定性中，当代艺术必须重新思考、定义自身与当代世界的关系，来应对其创造力与表现力的危机。与本届上海双年展“重新发电”的主题相呼应，“艺术写作/媒体工作坊”试图重新思考媒体与作者在当代世界中的角色，当现成的观念在新的世界局势下烟消云散，媒体该提供怎样的知识？当网络生活使每一个个体都具备了传播观念的力量，媒体的职责和功能发生了怎样的变化？
“艺术写作/媒体工作坊”将邀请全球重要大众媒体（《纽约时报》《时代周刊》《法兰克福汇报》等）、通讯社（新华社、美联社等）、专业艺术媒体（ARTINFO、《现代画家》、《国际艺术论坛》）、独立媒体（e-flux、《BOMB》《第三文本》等）的重要媒体人及撰稿人，普利策奖得主、媒体研究学者担任工作坊的教授。来自全球的年轻媒体人、独立撰稿人可申请作为学员参与工作坊的活动。教授与学员将在两周时间里就当代媒体关注、涉及的各种主题进行课程互动、圆桌讨论和现场实践，同时也有机会在本届上海双年展开幕前后深入布展和展览现场，以及上海的本土艺术图景，进行有深度的交流、思考和写作。

3.｜沉浸｜艺术与科技主题工作坊
“沉浸”是一种经历，一种体验；是人类意识短暂抽离物理世界，游走于真实与非真实之间的一种状态，也是人类借助当代科技手段，通往与真实世界平行的另一非线性时空的过程。
在艺术创作中，“沉浸”特指来自建立于人机交互和虚拟现实等科技之上，在三维环境中创作的虚拟艺术，引导观看者深度进入并体验以美学－科技为逻辑与表达，并在计算机科学环境中创作的艺术作品。作为以“重新发电”为主题的2012年第九届上海双年展教育项目“圆明学园”三大工作坊之一，对于“沉浸”的研究同时是对艺术与科技相交发展历史的整理与呈现，对当代人类生存状态与其所遭遇的社会现象与问题的真实反射，也是对艺术与科技交叉学科的再定义及其未来发展的重新审视。工作坊遵循“沉浸”的历史发展主线，在全球范围内邀请不同时期内在此领域做出卓越贡献，并身兼艺术家，研究者及教育家的代表性人物，通过一系列史论与实践课程，与中国同领域研究者进行交流。
工作坊时间：2012年10月3日至14日
申请材料递交时间：2012年7月15日至9月1日

[lang_en]The theme of the 2012 Shanghai Biennale is Reactivation, emphasizes the propositions including social mobilization and structure of community, and implies the critical role of education. Thus, the curatorial team decides to place seminars, lectures and other communication events into the framework of a short-term training program. We replace the usual forum and lecture with the means of short-term training program in autumn to pursue the efficiency and production of communication.
The program is named “the Academy of Reciprocal Enlightenment”, as “Academy” refers to a Platonic-style community of wisdom and criticism. It embodies our educational philosophy: education is a self-governing action by learner communities, which serve as a platform of exchanges and dissemination of opinions.
1. Art Writer/Journalist Workshop
Today, we are forced to confront with universal uncertainness in the global new economic and political circumstance. In such context, contemporary art need to rethink and re-define its uncertain relationship with the contemporary world in order to survive. As one of important factors in the process of art production, contemporary media therefore also need to reconsider its function in the contemporary world when the cliché or the former dominant way of observation and expression are no longer suitable to the new trend. How the traditional mass media transform its responsibility and function when everyone can distribute his opinion (cultural, political, and economic) and have privilege to take part in the public discussion on internet.
As an echo to the theme of 9th Shanghai Biennial “Reactivation”, “Art Writer/Journalist Workshop” plans to invite media experts from all over the world to join in this event to approach round-table discussions, lectures, and site visits. The young international media workers could have an opportunity to communicate with and practice with teachers who work for global influential media and media agencies such as New York Times, Time Magazine, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung; Xinhua News Agency, Associated Press; ARTINFO, Modern Painters, Kunstforum International (Germany); e-flux journal, BOMB Magazine, The Third Text and so on.

3. IMMERSION – Art | Technology Workshops
IMMERSION is an experiment, a free state of mind between real and unreal where human consciousness is drawn away from the physical world to reach non-linear time and space. In the artistic field, IMMERSION specifically refers to Virtual Art, very often in a three dimensional environment, using interactivity and Virtual Reality (VR) to immerse the viewer into a computer art world based on aesthetic-technological logic and expression.
Responding to the 9th Shanghai Biennial’s theme of “Reactivation”, we attempt to track the history of art and technology through our workshops focusing on the theme of IMMERSION in order to redefine the field and its development in the future, thus to reflect on man and the social environment he’s living within.
Our program will gather a group of international key figures, who greatly contributed the discipline’s evolution, to deliver a series of lectures combining theoretical studies and workshops to communicate with creators and researchers in China.
Students and young art practitioners can apply for participation by submitting the following materials. Participants are expected to have a solid understanding of the history of IMMERSION, and handle the basic technical skills at the end of the program. They will also have the opportunity to interact with the Biennial’s major artists and curators as well as other important personalities in the Chinese art scene.
Time: 3rd Oct – 14th Oct , 2012
Application submission: 15th Jul –1st Sep, 2012
Announcement of final participants: 5th Sep, 2012
Teaching language: English (partially with Chinese interactive interpretation)
