Abstraction not only as the reduction of visible reality, but as the visualization of invisible reality.
抽象，不只是对可见现实的简化。它也可能是对不可见现实的显影。
MASTER PROPOSITION
WE ARE THE TECHNOLOGY WE ARE WAITING FOR.
Technology help us notice the world that are already happening within us. The human perceptual system is the starting point of the meaning. What if we can revisit the world of colours through the eyes of artists, while animate the art through not only the eyes, but the entire body as the most advanced sensing technology. heartbeat signal. Breath signal. Attention signal. Intuition signal. Memory signal... explore the wonder is within & without.
WHY NOW?
MACHINES ARE LEARNING TO SEE.
WHAT MUST HUMANS LEARN TO PERCEIVE?
AI can increasingly recognise, classify and generate the visible. This makes another human capacity newly important: intuition, embodied knowledge, attention, inner experience, relationship, meaning. The historical women in this exhibition were investigating these territories long before contemporary language around embodied intelligence, consciousness research and AI emerged.
