影视艺术学院Michael Mackenzie博士发表文章：以模拟绘画的形式探索（数字化）标记制作行为
最近，Michael Mackenzie博士在《远程信息处理与信息学报告》第 14 卷（ISSN 2772-5030, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.teler.2024.100144）上发表了一篇经同行评审的期刊文章。文章提出，在线内容可以被理解为（数字化）标记制作，并通过以灰铅笔在纸上创作的图画为形式的创作实践研究，将（数字化）标记制作的概念作为一种存在行为加以审视。当前关于互联网性质和社会功能的理论，特别是作为讲故事模式的社交媒体，被用来对表达人类生活经验的绘画进行反思性分析，这些经验现在在虚拟与现实之间摇摆不定。
Curated Content: an exploration of the act of (digital) mark-making in the form of analogue drawings by Dr Michael Mackenzie
Dr Michael Mackenzie recently published a peer-reviewed journal article in the Telematics and Informatics Reports, Vol. 14 (ISSN 2772-5030). The article proposes that online content can be understood as (digital) mark-making, and through research as a creative practice in the form of drawings created with grey-lead pencil on paper, the notion of (digital) mark-making is examined as an existential act. Current theories on the nature and social functionality of the Internet, particularly social media as modes for storytelling, are engaged to reflexively analyse the drawings which express human-lived experiences that now oscillate between virtuality and reality. （https://doi.org/10.1016/j.teler.2024.100144）

Michael Mackenzie博士近期展览“评论区：爱的宣言/恨的运动”
Michael Mackenzie博士策划了一场名为“评论区：爱的宣言/恨的运动”的文字绘画展，探讨中国网络评论区中验证与分裂的商品化现象。社交媒体平台上的评论区已经从一种交流工具演变成了 “第三空间”，即一个既不属于家庭也不属于工作的社交空间。有了屏幕的物理分隔，评论区可以成为不稳定的社交空间。这个艺术项目名为“评论区： 爱的宣言/恨的运动 "的艺术项目探讨了中国社交媒体评论区的二元性质，通过挪用或辱骂的评论并将其重新语境化为实体文字绘画。Michael Mackenzie博士最近还为网络文化研究所（阿姆斯特丹应用科学大学）的数字出版物《病毒图像文化》（Viral Image Culture）发表了一篇文章，讨论了作品的展览和背景。
Dr Michael Mackenzie’s recent exhibition “COMMENTS: Declaration of Love / Campaign of Hate”
Dr Michael Mackenzie has curated an exhibition titled “Declaration of Love / Campaign of Hate”, which features text drawings and paintings that explore the commodification of validation and division in online comment sections in China.
Comment sections on social media platforms have evolved from a tool for communication, into “third spaces”, meaning a social space that is neither home nor work. With a screen to physically divide us from one another, comments sections can become volatile social spaces. This art project entitled: COMMENTS: Declaration of Love / Campaign of Hate explores the binary nature of Chinese social media comments sections by appropriating and then recontextualising comments that are either praising or abusive into physical text drawings. Dr Michael Mackenzie recently published an article for a digital publication Viral Image Culture that is run by the Institute of Network Cultures (Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences) that discusses the exhibition and context of the work: https://networkcultures.org/viralimageculture/2024/07/01/comments-declaration-of-love-campaign-of-hate-an-exhibition-of-text-drawings-and-paintings-that-explore-the-commodification-of-validation-and-division-in-online-comment-sections-in-china/
