"Lecture Introduction
Imagining the future ecology at the intersection
How do we understand the multiple ecologies of environment, technology, media and society today, and imagine the future? The intersection of technology and art and interdisciplinary research provides an overlapping context for creation and curation, where nature and culture are tightly entwined, and we need a new perspective on the relationship between technology and nature today, as well as an awareness of the dynamism and interconnectedness of the material world around us, offering us a new perspective with a horizontal connection and a broad imagination, which has different temporal and perceptual dimensions. The complex of technology and environment constitutes its own unique beginning and its corresponding autonomy, and we can reopen our thinking towards this system or, alternatively, place it in a relatively concrete reality. In this complex scenario, we need to find a way of art practice and exhibition narrative rooted in the living scene, to link the past, present, future, technology and society, to perceive the poetry of technology and the warmth of life in an overlapping space, and to think about the relationship between people and everything in the present. This lecture invites artist Qiu Yu and curator Xing Dan to introduce their artistic creation and curatorial practice with the theme of ecology and art, and together they will discuss the poetry of technology and overlapping narratives.
