爱德华多·卡兹因其在当代艺术和媒体诗歌发展上具有开创性的贡献和影响力,而在国际范围获得了较高的知名度。在 20 世纪 80 年代早期,卡兹创造了数字、全息和网上作品,这些作品奠定了我们今天所在的新全球文化的基础,是一种由不断涌入和变化的信息所构建的文化。

在他四十年的职业生涯中,卡兹创作了模糊人类与非人类、生物与科技、文字与视觉、本地与远程的边界的作品。除此之外,他一直致力于向受众传达开放交流的重要意义。这个目标已经在使用了最复杂的太空探索科技和分子生物技术的作品中得到了实现——它们举重若轻地带来的强烈体验,就似看到一朵花或观赏事物形态随风流动那样简单。

卡兹的作品在许多国际展览中展出,如 Exit Art 艺术中心和罗纳德·费尔德曼画廊(纽约),白教堂画廊和伦敦维多利亚与阿尔伯特博物馆(伦敦),欧洲摄影博物馆和东京宫(巴黎),里沃利城堡(都灵,意大利),森美术馆(东京),雷纳索非亚博物馆(马德里),上海当代艺术馆和首尔市立美术馆(韩国)。

Eduardo Kac is internationally recognized for his groundbreaking and influential contributions to the development of contemporary art and media poetry. In the early 1980s Kac created digital, holographic and online works that were invested in paving the way to the new global culture we live in today, composed of ever-changing information in constant flux. 

Throughout his four-decade career, Kac has produced works that erase the boundaries between the human and the nonhuman, the biological and the technological, the verbal and the visual, the local and the remote. Above all, he has sought to communicate to his audiences the profound meaning of openness in communication processes. That goal has reached fruition in works that use the most complex technologies of space exploration and molecular biology, while producing powerful experiences that are as simple as encountering a flower or watching forms flow with the wind.

Kac’s work has been exhibited internationally at venues such as Exit Art and Ronald Feldman Fine Arts, New York; Whitechapel Gallery and Victoria & Albert Museum, London; Maison Européenne de la Photographie and Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Castello di Rivoli, Turin, Italy; Mori Art Museum, Tokyo; Reina Sofia Museum, Madrid; Power Station of Art, Shanghai; and Seoul Museum of Art, Korea.
