The three units of "Ecological Future", "Cultural Future" and "Urban Future" constitute the main body of this exhibition, and put forward the three "Hyper Perspective" concepts of "Looking at the Ecological Future from the Perspective of the Internet of Everything", "Looking at the Cultural Future from the Perspective of Digital Technology", "Looking at the Future of The City from the Perspective of Mixed Reality". From macroscopic perspective to microscopic perspective, from virtual world to real world, from traditional cognition to contemporary language, 12 works of scientific and technological art will provide the audience with a "super-perspective" viewing experience through multi-sensory, participatory and immersive methods, so that the audience can become deep participants in the exhibition. Interdisciplinary cross-experiments, as well as the context of virtual space and physical space blending together, build a thinking path for the audience to perceive the future, experience the future and foresee the future.
The opening ceremony venue, Qingdao Haitian Yunshang Art Center, as the highest cultural landmark on Qingdao's golden coastline, has a super high perspective. This science and technology art exhibition is not only a multi-dimensional art dialogue, but also a cloud event for the vast number of Qingdao citizens to perceive contemporary art.
Ms. Rong Shuling, Member of the Party Committee of Qingdao Guoxin Group and Chairman of the Trade Union, delivered an opening speech
Ms. Rong Shuling, member of the Party Committee of Qingdao Guoxin Group and chairman of the trade union, said in her speech: "Haitian Center is a benchmark project, a high-quality project and a century-old project that Guoxin Group has spent 12 years and has worked hard to build. Among them, the high-profile Haitian Yunshang Art Center and Haitian City Tourism Hall are located on the 80th and 81st floors of Haitian Center, which are the first test of Guosen Group's cultural tourism and art industry, and are currently the "highest art center in China". Within 4 months of successful operation, it has become a new tourist landmark and a new cultural and artistic holy place in Qingdao and even Shandong Province. Here, special thanks to Ms. Xu Juan, the chief curator of the exhibition, for introducing this wonderful exhibition to Qingdao, to the curator Mr. Fei Jun for bringing this visual feast of art and technology to the citizens of Qingdao, and also to the famous artist Mr. Xu Bing for his strong support for this exhibition. In the future, Guosen Group will also start from qingdao's cultural atmosphere, citizens' cultural needs and other dimensions, take the construction of urban culture as its own responsibility, and continuously introduce more high-quality, high-value, scarce and unique exhibitions into Qingdao, and build the Haitian Yunshang Art Center with great commercial value into a professional and diversified modern and contemporary art venue integrating culture, art, leisure, social interaction and experience, making it the most worthy of viewing in Qingdao and even the whole country. ”
Mr. Xu Bing, Professor and Artist of CAFA College, delivered an opening speech
Mr. Xu Bing, a professor and artist at the Cafa Academy of Fine Arts, said: "I am very pleased to be able to exhibit my animation work "The Character of Chinese Characters" at the Haitian Yunshang Art Center. For me, 'words' are the main medium and carrier of my artistic creation, and a key to my understanding of the relationship between society, human beings and cultures. Art comes from the problems of life, and if there are problems, there is art. In today's fast-moving, fragmented and pluralistic era, how 'I' understand people, society and culture has become very important. Today, holding such an exhibition of science and technology art at Qingdao's tallest architectural landmark, Haitian Yunshang Art Center, is a very meaningful humanistic and artistic discussion. ”
Ms. Xu Juan, founder of Meibo Culture, founder of Xicheng en Culture and chief planner of the exhibition, delivered an opening speech
Xu Juan, the chief curator, expressed her original intention in planning this exhibition: "Philosopher Timothy Morton said that 'art is a thought from the future', so the three questions of classical philosophy' 'Who is the future, where does the future come from, and where does the future go' can always trigger our infinite thinking." Today, after 22 years of leaving my hometown, after experiencing the high points of various worlds under the guidance of art, I stand at the 369-meter-high Yunshang Art Center of Guoxin Haitian Center, at the commanding heights of the future and the starting point of the greater future in my childhood, as a loyal student of art and a devout cultural communicator, I can only say that in the future, I look forward to seeing you more. Technology allows us to feel the world and perceive art from a different perspective, which is a little inspiration that the future will give us today. It requires us to constantly break through rational thinking and look for the world outside the conventional senses, that is, welcome to open the 'super perspective'...
On the occasion of the upcoming opening of the 2021 Qingdao Innovation Festival, as the creative director of the Innovation Festival and the member of the art committee of Haitian Yunshang Art Center, I strongly recommend and participate in the planning of this "Super Perspective: Science and Technology Art Exhibition", hoping to bring a new visual art feast to the audience with qingdao's urban cultural attitude and innovative determination in the highest art center in China. I hope to use art and technology to light up Qingdao and light up my hometown..."
Mr. Fei Jun, Professor of Art and Technology, Doctoral Supervisor and Exhibition Curator of the School of Design of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, delivered an opening speech
Curator Fei Jun explained in detail the concept of the exhibition: "We propose such a concept as a super perspective, which requires a large era background. In fact, we humans have experienced the development and evolution of the steam age - the power age - the information age, and now we are experiencing a special period of transition to the intelligent age. Today, a large number of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, big data, robotics, biotechnology, etc., are constantly triggering new human understandings of history and the future. In such an exciting and confusing era, imagining the future has become an important topic of great concern for artists and even all mankind. Art is an idea from the future, and excellent works often have different repercussions, but also have a sense of observation and expression. We hope that through such an exhibition, Qingdao citizens can follow the super perspective of these artists, have super sensitivity to the world and the future, and build and experience the future together.
The exhibition presents three hyper-perspectives from three units. We want to help audiences look at our future ecology and humanity from the perspective of the Internet of Everything, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, when humanity must reflect on the relationship between people, nature and ecology. Therefore, we invited 12 artists to present us excellent works from the perspective of ecology, city and culture, hoping to bring an immersive, participatory and interactive super exhibition experience to the audience in Qingdao, so that audiences of different ages and professions can truly immerse themselves in the context created by art. ”
Opening remarks by Dutch artist Marnix de Nijs
Dutch artist Marnix de Nijs expressed his excitement at the moment: "It is very happy to participate in such an exhibition as Super Perspective, which may be the first exhibition of art and technology in Qingdao. I started the creative process of new technology art very early, and this medium can have a broader development in the field of art. ”
The exhibition will run until December 20. (Ji Zhe)
