前言

文／林奕華（策展人）

甚麼娛樂成本可以最少，效益可以最大？
聊天。

甚麼嗜好樂趣可以無限，條件可以低限？
聊天。

甚麼需求始源可以很遠，發展可以自決？
聊天。

聊天，廣東話叫「傾偈」。作為名詞，「偈」本為梵語文學的贊歌、詩句，也是佛教修行者的宗教詩。「傾偈」故此帶有交換智慧的意味，這也吻合了聊天的「天」，乍聽不著邊際，其實內容天南地北，收獲絕不無聊。所以，「聊」有樂趣的意思，也解作暫且，並可伸延至憑藉、依靠。

綜合上述，「聊天」既很隨意，也有託附與被託附的責任，雖然，過去的人曾經從小因過於跟鄰座的同學積極「傾偈」被責罰，又雖然，現在的人可能從小已承受不了「聊天」需要先把自己像一本書打開，然後，未來的人可能只會在歷史裏認識語言可以是個人化到一個程度，「我口說我心」。

那個時候，聊天將是儀式，只在被紀念的形式下進行，那便是「聊天節」。

Preface
By Edward Lam (Curator)

What entertainment can be enjoyed at minimal cost and with maximum benefit?
Chatting.

What hobby can be enjoyed with unlimited fun and few conditions?
Chatting.

What need has an ancient origin and could always be steered in every moment?
Chatting.

Chat, in Cantonese, is called ‘傾偈 (king gai)’. As a noun, ‘偈 (gai)’ originally referred to Sanskrit hymns and verses, as well as religious poems of Buddhist practitioners. ‘King gai’ therefore carries the meaning of exchanging wisdom, which also coincides with the meaning of ‘chat’. At first glance, it seems pointless, but in fact, the content can be anything, and the results are always rewarding. Therefore, the word ‘chat’ implies fun, as well as a momentary reliance.

‘Chat’ is, on one hand, very casual. On the other hand, ‘Chat’ requires mutual reliance. In the past, one could be punished for chatting in class. Nowadays, one may not be able to open oneself to ‘chat’ since childhood. In the future, language may reject individuality, while heart-to-heart chat may become history.

By then, chatting would be a ritual, only carried out in a commemorative manner, only in the ‘Talk with Me’ Festival.
