Undine

An undine, which refers to a nymph, sprite, or ghost in water, is more told in fiction and tales. The land where we live undergoes development, consumption, reconstruction and creation ceaselessly, but the world beneath the sea seems still unknown to us. In fact, human activities have far gone beyond the land and the development of deep oceans has ushered a new era. However, pollution caused by overdevelopment of land and oceans has gravely affected the ecological balance of the ocean world. The voice of unknown and ignorant, and public and environmental concerns echo with the contemporary industrial demands.

Besides the cliché that we must leave a good environment to our children, the more important thing is that we must make it clear who we are now and will be in the future and to the world. Now we act as a destroyer to the ecological world – the seemingly physical pollution is being upgraded into a spiritual one. We have left quite a few subjective memories to the world. While our behavioral genes are shifting into the impressive genes of other creatures towards us, it is turning us from a man to a ghost. This is not only an influence on the ocean world, but also inestimable damages to the new world outlook for human beings.

In the contemporary era, “we” shall neither be a nymph, sprite, or ghost in the world, nor unreal story or tale.



水妖

意指栖于水中的妖精、水怪或在水里出没的鬼,而现实当中更多的是捕风捉影的故事和传说。
在我们赖以生存的大陆上,每个时代都从未间断过的开发、消耗、重组与再创造着,而在广袤无垠的深海世界里似乎还留有着我们太多的未知记忆。其实不然,人类的开采早已经不局限在陆地表面,对深海资源的开发也已经走入了一个全新的时代。但是,由于路面和海底的过度开发污染,已经严重影响到海洋世界的生态平衡。未知与无知的呼声夹杂着公共与环保的课题形成了和当代工业需求之间的黑白交响。

除了千篇一律的呼吁说我们要给后代一个良好的生存环境的论点之外,更重要的是要明确我们现在是谁?我们在未来是谁?我们对于这个世界是谁!目前对于整个生态世界,人类更多的是在扮演破坏者的角色,这种看似表面的物质污染其实已经在逐步升级为精神污染,我们已经给这个世界留下了太多主观记忆。而我们自身的行为基因正在转换为其它生物对我们的印象基因,这一过程中已经潜移默化的把我们从人推向了妖。这不仅是对海底生物世界的影响,也是对未来新人类的世界观有着不可估量的破坏。

当代的“我们”不应该是栖于这个世界里的妖精、水怪或是出没的鬼,更不能成为未来捕风捉影的故事和传说。

本次展览运用了多媒体交互艺术这样的一种表现形式,通过运用视频、人体、音乐等综合交互手段,为大家呈现了一场深海世界里的“水妖”记忆。
