A new lens on infinity
Exhibition unites artists and scientists, showcasing works where technology and art converge to spark creativity, Li Yingxue reports.
Pei Haozheng, curator of the exhibition, adds his own series of deployable installations, including Between Chaos and Order and Folded Space, which use geometric forms to explore the philosophy of space.
Pei describes the exhibition as both a tribute to human civilization and a vision for the future. Guided by forward-looking themes such as "sustainable development", "cross-disciplinary innovation", and "tech ethics with humanistic care", the exhibition echoes the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, positioning art and technology as forces capable of addressing global challenges.
Pei outlines three directions he sees shaping the future of art-science integration. The first is the use of advanced technologies — AI, digital twins, virtual reality, sustainable materials — imbued with philosophical depth and emotion, breaking the stereotype of "cold technology".
He adds, "The second is a paradigm shift toward cross-disciplinary collaboration: deep partnerships between artists, scientists, engineers, and philosophers generating new forms of knowledge and creativity."
