小宇宙:科技主导下的情感

♛ Minor Universes: Technology-led Emotions, V.A.

人类情感与技术主导,成为并行的两条线。社群媒体软件兴起之后,情感或心理活动成为被引导的现象,逐渐普遍。

艺术在这个领域的实践,构成这个展览主题上的探索。一方面是多样化的,集群式的,在微博、微信、抖音等领域形成集体审美趣味。一方面是科技发展带来的活跃思维,及其挑战的科技和人的关联性,构成恒常不变的人类命题。

“小宇宙” 得益于漫画和青年文化的微小化、卡通化理解。

宇宙无论大小,也都是一个复杂集群的整体,可能需要仰望星空,或对内心的自观。

“科技主导下的情感”,希望让技术和人的关系,更加拟人有亲和力。是人文和人性的考量,无论多伟大的算法模型,多先进的城市生活,也都应该是每一个个体的情感和连接所构建的活的有机整体。

此次展览所选择的每一位艺术家,都在试图探索,人和环境的关系,人和技术的关系,人和人的关系。细微且多样。

 

Human emotion and technological dominance have become two parallel lines. With the rise of social media, emotion, as a guided psychological activity has become increasingly common. 

The artistic practice of this narrative has formed the explorations of this exhibition’s theme. One exploration delves into the diversified and collective aesthetic that has been forming on Weibo, WeChat, TikTok and other platforms. In contrast, the other exploration questions the relationship between technology and humanity, an ever-lasting human proposition.

“Minor Universes” is born from the miniaturized and animated perception of comics and youth culture.

The universe, whatever its size, is a complexity that may require looking up at the stars or into one’s heart.

“Technology-led Emotions” hopes to make the relationship between humanity and technology more human-like and amicable. In consideration of humanity, no matter how advanced the algorithm and urban life are, they should build an organic connection between individuals and their environment.

Every artist selected in this exhibition tries to explore the relationship between the individual and the environment, the individual and technology, and individual and individual. Microscopic and diverse.
