Preface
Congress theme for 2018 AICA International Congress Taiwan:Art Criticism in the Age of Virtuality and Democracy
⓪ Chi-Ming Lin, and the scientific committee of AICA Taiwan
Based on observations of important tendencies in the actual world, we would like to address some key issues concerning the role of art criticism related to these new developments.
Firstly, the virtual is not the opposite of reality but rather an increasing part of our reality. Presently, communities, social relations, everyday life, the body, and even biological life are in the processes of mass virtualization. Life itself has been supposed as an algorithm, AI as a brain without body, while space-time’s relationship is virtualized in VR technology. A virtual enterprise need no longer convene its employees onsite, but rather can delegate work to be done remotely, thus re-articulating the time-space relationship of its workers.
Secondly, if we make an observation of a longer duration, there seems to be an unquestionable expansion of democracy which can be confirmed by the democratic transitions beginning in the mid-1970s, which span from Latin America to Taiwan and South Korea, through the end of the cold war, and to following transitions in Eastern Europe, the Color Revolution and the Umbrella Movement in Hong-Kong in the fall of 2014. Nevertheless in more recent years, the phenomenon of the retreat of democracy can also be observed in the uprising of the populism worldwide.
Moreover, these two tendencies may be related. The Congress Theme “Art Criticism in the age of Virtuality and Democracy” has two sub-themes:
1. Art criticism in the age of virtuality
2. Art discourse facing challenged democracy
1. “Art criticism in the age of virtuality” will address the situation in which the rapid pace of development in computer and media technologies is creating new working environments and new possibilities for art, each with their own particular problematics. How does this process affect the description, interpretation and evaluation of contemporary art? More precisely, does art criticism develop new methodology and new languages concerning its analysis and new problematics in its debates? What does it mean for art and art criticism that new media reaches crowds of new readers around the world, often “for free”?
2. “Art discourse facing challenged democracy” will discuss the following questions: how is art discourse constitutive of the collective representations and imaginary of democracy? In the situation of democracy under challenge, how are these social-political phenomena reflected in new developments of censorship and self-censorship, or post-truth? For new problems brought out by transitional justice, what kind of function can art discourse play?

中華民國
中華民國是位於東亞的共和制國家，自1912年成立至1971年退出聯合國期間為國際公認的「中國」代表政權，現因實際控制領土及政治狀況通稱「臺灣」。實轄領土面積36,197平方公里，包括臺灣本島及附屬島嶼、澎湖群島、部分福建沿岸島嶼與部分南海諸島。中央政府位於臺北市，最大城市為新北市。總人口約2,359萬，主要由漢族與臺灣原住民族組成。國家語言為各固有族群使用之自然語言及臺灣手語，通用標準國語，書寫使用正體中文。 辛亥革命爆發兩個月後，中華民國於1912年1月1日宣告成立。同年2月清宣統帝頒布《退位詔書》，中華民國繼承原大清帝國疆域。經北洋政府時期、國民政府時期而於1947年在制度上進入憲政時期，後因動員戡亂戰爭中對中國共產黨的戰事接連失利，中央政府於1949年底播遷臺灣。1958年青海完全失陷後迄今，中華民國的有效統治領土僅剩臺灣地區。
韓戰爆發後，在美援挹注下，臺灣經濟快速發展，與南韓、香港、新加坡並稱亞洲四小龍，現名列世界人均生產總值第15位與第22大經濟體，居非聯合國成員國之首，被視為已開發國家。1980年代末的民主運動，使中華民國從一黨專政的威權制國家，演變成兩黨制政黨生態與直接民權的國家。中華民國是當今世界最自由的國家之一，人權狀況極佳，女性參政率在世界名列前茅，是亞洲首個法制化同性婚姻的國家。

作者簡介：
AICA
The International Association of Art Critics (AICA) was founded in 1950 and was admitted in 1951 to the rank of NGO. AICA comprises various experts anxious to develop international cooperation in the fields of artistic creation, dissemination and cultural development.
AICA brings together around 5,000 art professionals from 95 countries all over the world, organised into 63 National Sections and an Open Section. The most recent Annual International Congresses to be organised by AICA have held in Poland (2013), Seoul, South Korea (2014), London, England (2015), Havana, Cuba (2016), and Paris, France (2017).
The members of AICA includes art critics, art historians and art educators, as well as curators from museums of modern art. Their aim is to compare their point of views concerning the vocation of art criticism, to analyse their responsibility in regard to artists and public, and to outline the particular nature of their contributions in relation to developments in the fields of art history.
