《输入…输出…/疫蝶效应》

在一个动态系统中的蝴蝶效应,由微小的变量引起长期且巨大的链式反应,是一种混沌的现象、非线性的发展,代表不规则的运动和突变。它散发着令人着迷、激动、深省的大胆想象力和迷人的美学色彩,它无时、无处不在,象征着未知与未来。疫蝶效应与蝴蝶效应有着相同的非线性发展模式,由微小的病毒引发到个体人类进而引发社会的连锁反应;其发展的速度并非1+1=2的常数运算而是指数级的发展;所带来的不可预测的混沌结果引发我们无数的问号。疫情中充满不确定的突变,下一步人类会走向哪里?

展览从蝴蝶效应与疫情的关系展开,讨论的不只是新冠病毒灾难本身,而是从蝴蝶效应这个社会定律研究疫情危机;探索疫情带给人类世界的链式反应,以及作为智慧生物的人类面对病毒的反应机制。以动态的线上展览形式视觉化病毒危机,数据可视化疫情下的情感共振。通过对灾难事件的回顾和梳理,将客观数据以及大众情感的变化为观察切入点;以“你、我、他们”为主视角,提出问题以带动话题的产生,激发观者深度参与展览,新生的作品在洛伦兹吸引子的算法轨迹上裂变生长展览的体积。

在展览的实验场里,在未知的走向中,艺术与危机相碰撞。展品表面上讨论看似乌托邦、毫无关联或非常微小的事情,却可能会对观展体验的结果带来未知的结果,每一位观众的参与行为与反馈都会影响展览故事线的走向。病毒可输入观者的大脑形成共生,观者可进入病毒,输出疫(艺)化的思想;数据可输入观者的眼脑体,观众会输出情感的复制、繁衍、突变;进入展览,输入线索,输出未知的开始与结果。

《IN…OUT…/virus of Butterfly effect》

The butterfly effect in a dynamic system is a long-term and huge chain reaction caused by small variables. It is a chaotic phenomenon and nonlinear development, representing irregular movement and mutation. It exudes a fascinating, exciting and thoughtful imagination and charming aesthetic logic. It is timeless and ubiquitous, symbolizing the unknown and the future. The virus of butterfly effect and butterfly effect have the same nonlinear development mode, which is caused by micro virus to individual human and then to social chain reaction; its development speed is not a constant operation of 1 + 1 = 2 but an exponential development; the unpredictable chaotic results bring us countless question marks. The epidemic is full of uncertain mutations. Where will human beings go next?

The exhibition starts from the link of butterfly effect and virus situation, the exhibition not only focuse on the new coronavirus disaster itself, but also the social law of butterfly effect to research the virus ‘s crisis; explore the chain reaction brought by epidemic situation to the human world, and the human how response to the virus as an intelligent organism.In the form of interactive online exhibition, the virus crisis is visualized, and the emotional resonance is visualized under the coronavirus disaster. By reviewing and combing the disaster events, the objective data and the changes of public emotions are the key point for observation. From the perspective of "you, me and them", ask questions to drive the topic, and inspire the audience to participate in the exhibition in deply,New works will growth exhibition’s volume on the algorithm track of Lorentz attractor.

In the experimental field of the exhibition, in the unknown direction, art collides with crisis. A superficial view of the exhibition works is like discussing seemingly Utopian, irrelevant or very small things, but it may bring unknown results to the results of the exhibition experience,and the participation and feedback of each audience will affect the trend of the exhibition story line. The virus can be input into the brain of the audience turn into symbiont, and the audience can enter the virus to export the idea of epidemic (Art);Data can be input into the eye, brain and body of the audience, and the audience will output emotional reproduction, reproduction and mutation;Human beings enter the exhibition, input clues and output unknown start and result.

三大实验场/ Three experimental factories:

「疫(艺)化的灾难厚度─纪录、再现」/ "Disaster thickness of virus (Art)─record and reappearance"
「疫(译)变灾难的可能性─想像」/ The mutation (translation)of virus ─imagination
「疫(怡)情破坏后的创造─相信的力量」/ Creation (satisfaction)after virus destruction - the power of belief

Instructions For Exhibition Experiment:

1.There is no fixed moving line for the exhibition. Participants need to explore the viewing path according to their own concerns.
2.The works for the first time to watch the exhibition are delivered randomly. You can register and set up your own account for the experimental exhibition to collect and record your interactive data in the experimental field. When you visit again, big data will push the works you may be interested in according to your preference.
3.You can comment on each work from the perspective of "you, me and them" or create your own related works, which will form related works with the original works, or receive feedback from other viewers.
4.After each exhibition, you will receive an electronic exhibition report, which will record the big data of this exhibition.
