According to the organizers of the event, "Green Horse Welcome" is the theme of this event: "Green has rich meanings such as hope, nature, environmental protection and vitality." In the present, the 'green horse' is a metaphor for the 'green code', the desire and protection of health, life and freedom. ”
In addition to "Green Horse" in Hilltop Park, Zhang Zhoujie also created large-scale digital art installations such as "Light Shuttle" across the sky bridge for Sihai City.
"Light Travel"
Zhang Zhoujie introduced that the series of digital art installations that landed in Sihai City are unprecedented in Guangdong in terms of volume and scale.
"Many people are relatively unfamiliar with 'digital sculpture', which is simply to write a program first, generate a 'model' through the superposition of different algorithms, change the plane into a three-dimensional like origami, and then use matching materials to make it." "Light Shuttle" is made of stainless steel, and each side and angle of it is different. ”
Zhang Zhoujie believes that things in the digital context can also grow and change like everything in nature, and his creation is to find the principles and signs in it: "I think that art not only belongs to nature and human beings, but also to the world of science and technology and algorithms, and the collision of the two is of interest to me."
Live modern dance performances
Speaking of public art, Zhang Zhoujie said that "public art" has a special nature because of the space it is in and the group it faces, it belongs to the artist, belongs to the "Party A", and also belongs to the public, so the artist needs to make a breakthrough under the premise of balancing the three demands, bringing everyone works that are more in line with modern life and artistic.
The artist Cao Dan, who was present that day, was also one of the authors of the art installation in Sihai City. Cao Dan said that in the post-epidemic era, people have begun to pay attention to the impact of the epidemic on life, and when it comes to "green horses", people can't help but think of "green codes", hoping that this is a beautiful meaning.
The poet Huang Libao concluded that the harmony between "green horse" and the "green code" that everyone needs to travel at present is a connection of the city spirit in the present. "The poet Haizi wrote a poem "Dream as a Horse", in the present, everyone needs to be full of hope for the future and gallop like a horse."
