At the time of his sudden death in 2014, Harun Farocki was at work on a project called Moving Bodies. The project would explore the history of motion capture, from the chronophotographic experiments of Étienne-Jules Marey and Eadweard Muybridge to engagements with robotics and computer animation in the present. Based on an examination of the corpus of footage Farocki assembled for Moving Bodies and his correspondence about it with collaborator Matthias Rajmann, this article charts the inchoate propositions of a final installation we will never see. While it remains impossible to reconstruct what the completed form of the installation might have been, this article explores why Farocki was drawn to the subject of motion capture by contextualizing his research for this final project in relation to the problem of captured life in his late works Serious Games (2009–2010), Parallel I–IV (2012–2014), and Labour in a Single Shot (made in collaboration with Antje Ehmann, 2011–2014). The article argues that Farocki’s interest in motion capture is exemplary of a broader concern that runs throughout his late work – namely, an interrogation of the mediation and management of life by technical apparatuses. Thinking alongside Farocki’s final projects, the article proposes that lens-based capture possesses a double valence: it is at once a medium through which operations of control and mastery are articulated and a site at which an encounter with worldly complexity may occur.

移动的身体:在 Harun Farocki 的后期作品中捕捉生活

在 2014 年突然去世时,Harun Farocki 正在从事一个名为“移动的身体”的项目。该项目将探索动作捕捉的历史,从 Étienne-Jules Marey 和 Eadweard Muybridge 的计时摄影实验到目前的机器人技术和计算机动画。基于对 Farocki 为Moving Bodies 收集的素材库的检查以及他与合作者 Matthias Rajmann 的通信,本文描绘了我们永远不会看到的最终装置的早期主张。虽然仍然无法重建装置的完整形式可能是什么,本文探讨了为什么 Farocki 被吸引到动作捕捉的主题上,将他对这个最终项目的研究与他后期作品 Serious Games (2009–2010), Parallel I–IV (2012–2014) 中捕捉生活的问题相关联,以及《单拍中的劳动》(与 Antje Ehmann 合作制作,2011-2014 年)。文章认为,法罗基对动作捕捉的兴趣是贯穿他晚期作品的更广泛关注的典范——即通过技术设备对生活的中介和管理进行审问。结合 Farocki 的最终项目思考,文章提出基于镜头的捕捉具有双重价值:它既是表达控制和掌握操作的媒介,又是可能发生与世俗复杂性相遇的场所。Parallel I–IV (2012–2014) 和 Labor in a Single Shot(与 Antje Ehmann 合作制作,2011–2014 年)。文章认为,法罗基对动作捕捉的兴趣是贯穿他晚期作品的更广泛关注的典范——即通过技术设备对生活的中介和管理进行审问。结合 Farocki 的最终项目思考,文章提出基于镜头的捕捉具有双重价值:它既是表达控制和掌握操作的媒介,又是可能发生与世俗复杂性相遇的场所。Parallel I–IV (2012–2014) 和 Labor in a Single Shot(与 Antje Ehmann 合作制作,2011–2014 年)。文章认为,法罗基对动作捕捉的兴趣是贯穿他晚期作品的更广泛关注的典范——即通过技术设备对生活的中介和管理进行审问。结合 Farocki 的最终项目思考,文章提出基于镜头的捕捉具有双重价值:它既是表达控制和掌握操作的媒介,又是可能发生与世俗复杂性相遇的场所。通过技术设备对生活的调节和管理进行审问。结合 Farocki 的最终项目思考,文章提出基于镜头的捕捉具有双重价值:它既是表达控制和掌握操作的媒介,又是可能发生与世俗复杂性相遇的场所。通过技术设备对生活的调节和管理进行审问。结合 Farocki 的最终项目思考,文章提出基于镜头的捕捉具有双重价值:它既是表达控制和掌握操作的媒介,又是可能发生与世俗复杂性相遇的场所。
