News For Tomorrow 是北京艺术家颜峻为 Birdcage 项目专门创作的作品。
颜峻在《北京青年周刊》的编辑部里选了一张使用中的办公桌,在里面藏了一些采访机、mp3播放器和磁带walkman录音机。这些设备要么播放事先录好的声音,也就是这个编辑部的记者们的采访资料;要么接收办公室里的声音,并通过耳机实时播放,产生反馈噪音。
大部分耳机都露在外面,所以,也可以戴上耳机,听清楚细节。
在斯德哥尔摩的 Carl Michael von Hausswolff 和阿姆斯特丹的 DJ Sniff 之后,颜峻的 News For Tomorrow 是 Birdcage 的第三个作品。它同时也是在墨尔本,北京,深圳和基辅发生的艺术介入行动 “The Invisible Generation” 的一部分。
这件作品的复制版,于10月24号在北京中间艺术馆的“空白展”展出。

News For Tomorrow is a commissioned piece by Beijing-based artist Yan Jun for the Birdcage itinerant sound gallery. The artist picked one of the desks in the editorial office of Beijing Youth Weekly and placed recording devices, mp3 players and cassette walkman in it. The devices either reproduce the interview recordings of the magazine’s editorial staff, or record the soundscape of the office, which will be simultaneously played and processed in real time through headphones while creating feedback noise.

The staff and writers of Beijing Youth Weekly, the people who go to the magazine’s office for business purposes, and the friends and relatives of the above mentioned are the only people allowed to experience the piece, using the headphones displaced in the office.

After Stockholm with Carl Michael von Hausswolff and Amsterdam with DJ Sniff, Yan Jun’s News For Tomorrow introduces the third Birdcage episode. The piece is also part of “The Invisible Generation” programme of art interventions in the cities of Melbourne, Beijing, Shenzhen and Kiev.
also be exhibited, as a replica, at Blank / Beijing Zhongjian Gallery from the 24th of October 2009.
