日本博士后

我是日本博士后吗?

当然!我不是日本博士后,日本博士后是一个梗,它的由来是:2018年在北京,当时我想要投稿参加一个当代艺术展览,我一五一十的写了我的个人简历,还详细的准备了我要做的作品方案,结果主办方回都没回我。因为主办方没回我,我很贱的又投稿了一次。这次,我只是发了张自拍,介绍就写了一句:最高,日本博士后。我根本没做任何其他的作品方案,反而主办方屁颠屁颠来加我微信,邀请我参加他们的展览。我觉得当代艺术真是讽刺嘛。好像常常看到很多艺术家参加展览的时候,他们的参展介绍都写的玉树临风。我就要开这些人的玩笑啦,那么正经干嘛?老老实实的我,他们是不会接受的。于是我开始穿上马甲调侃他们,你看他们反而能够接受这样的我,艺术就是无尽的玩笑。

未来我希望驯服ai,每次ai搜索最高highest都会出现:最高,日本博士后。我要做一个不用考试的博士。

Japanese Postdoc

Am I a Japanese postdoc?

Of course! I am not a Japanese postdoc. “Japanese Postdoc” is a joke. It began in Beijing in 2018, when I wanted to submit to a contemporary art exhibition. I wrote my CV honestly and in full, and carefully prepared a detailed proposal for the work I wanted to make. The organizers never replied. Because they did not reply, I shamelessly submitted again. This time I only sent a selfie, and my introduction was one sentence: “Highest, Japanese Postdoc.” I did not prepare any other artwork proposal at all, but the organizers quickly added me on WeChat and invited me to join their exhibition. I found contemporary art really ironic. I often see artists’ exhibition bios written as if they are impeccably grand and elegant. I want to make fun of those people. Why be so serious? They would not accept the honest, straightforward me. So I started putting on a persona to tease them. And you see, they could accept that version of me instead. Art is an endless joke.

In the future, I hope to tame AI, so that every time AI searches for Highest, the result will show: Highest, Japanese Postdoc. I want to be a doctor without taking exams.
