展览主题
Statement

“元宇宙” (Metaverse) 无疑是今年最热点的词汇，它的出现引爆了科技和资本圈，这一全新的概念通过数字化形态承载的平行宇宙，可谓是“人造映射版”的现实世界，是基于形而上学(Metaphysics)的一种新宏观。在虚拟世界中的每个个体都将不只有一个单一的身份，其生命也将从有限延伸到无限。通过“元宇宙”链接，可以扩展我们的视觉、听觉、触觉等感知器官，同时也可以将虚拟化的项目融入进物理世界，沉浸式地体验这平行宇宙中所发生的一切，可以进行无尽的想象和创作…这是一种形而上的去中心化世界，但对于这样的经济、社会及生态系统，征途邈若山河，人类仍有很长的路要走。
早在上个世纪末，关于“无国界”，“无边界”的思想热潮就已经出现在公众的视野中。随着科技与互联网技术的发展，在如今21世纪，经济全球化和区域一体化的时代背景下，艺术与各行业的尖端领域相互融合发展，边界不再是阻拦人类交流的壁垒，艺术的多元化也成为了时下潮流。
本次展览旨在围绕着去中心化思想打造一个无边界的想象空间，也将在元宇宙的大观下提供一个无边界的平台，无畏于界限；无畏于维度；无畏于现实，将超现实的假定感沉淀在我方的极乐世界中。
“无”具有积极、丰富、超验而多面的内涵，也是藐视一切禁锢的存在。艺术思想是“无”尽的、“无”界的、“无”畏的、更是前沿的。我们邀请你们在这“无界”的世界里肆意定义，不仅需要形式上的变化与创新，更需要颠覆性的想法来讨论时间、空间与人的关系。
此次展览我们以“无远不届 Boundless”为主题，面向全部有在英经历的留学生征稿。期待艺术家们运用多学科、跨领域的方式对当下进行思考，以艺术创作为语言，用作品与观者们来一场畅快的对谈。
“Metaverse” is undoubtedly the most controversial idea of the year. Its emergence has detonated the technological field and the existing capitalism. This new concept of “parallel universes” sustained by digital forms can be expressed as “man-made mappings” of reality. It is a new macro concept based of metaphysics. In the virtual world, individuals will obtain more than one identity, and its life span will also extend from finite to infinite. Through the connections of the “metaverse”, we can thus expand our perception organs including vision, auditory, tangibility and such. Coherently, we can integrate virtualised projects into the physical realm, and experience events in the parallel world in an immersive manner. It can be a gateway to endless imagination and creativity. This is a metaphysical decentralised world, but the journey for such an economic, social and ecological world, the human species still has a long way to go.
As early as the end of the last century, the ideological craze for “boundlessness” has appeared in the public gaze. With the undergoing technological and internet development, in the 21st century, under the background of economic globalisation and regional integration. The art industry and the top notch fields of various industries have integrated and developed simultaneously together. The boundary between is no longer a barrier to human communication, and thus, the diversity of artistic transformation has also become part of the popular culture.
This exhibition aims to create a boundless communal space of imaginations focusing around decentralised ideas. It will also provide a borderless platform under the general view of the meta-universe, fearless in boundaries; fearless in dimensions; fearless in reality. Precipitate the surreal sense of assumption in our realm.
"Nothing" has multiple positive, rich, transcendental and multilateral connotations, and it also despises the existence of all imprisonment. Artistic visions are endless, unbounded, fearless and avant-garde. We invite you to join us in this boundless world, to define recklessly define and envision. This not only requires formal changes and innovations, but also subversive ideologies to discuss and explore the relationship between time, space and human beings.
With this year’s theme entitled “boundless”, we are calling for all international students with experience in the UK. It is expected that artists will use multi-disciplinary methods to visually communicate their visions about the present. Using their artistic creation as a transmission tool to commune between themselves and the audience.
