【Exploring the Art Exhibition】Poetry Captures Emotions, Bearing Reflection | Projection Beams Pierce Through Physical Space

  In the spring of 2025, the author visited the "Energy Universe" exhibition at the Times Art Museum in Beijing. Here, the concept of "energy" from the realms of time and space, the physical universe, and the emotional world was materialized by artists and presented to us through the form of digital multimedia installations...

  The term "energy," with its vast array of connotations, serves here as a vessel for the myriad emotions that artists aspire to convey. As someone who journeyed here for the sake of imagery, I found myself immersed in the profound "artistic energies" and came to appreciate the intrinsic value of visual representation.

  The growth of life necessitates energy, whether it be the bounties bestowed by nature or the reserves accumulated from within. Within this space, imagery merely fulfills the role of a "chronicler," yet the digital images, dense with time and condensed space, bring to life the "energy" unleashed by a plant seed right before our eyes.

  In the hearts of the beholders, imagery converges this energy into a burgeoning sentiment, singing a hymn of life from nature to those who have lost their way. If providing an innovative platform for art is a formal manifestation of imagery, then simultaneously "shaping and emoting" for artistic creation is the core embodiment of how imagery deconstructs and reshapes art in the digital age.

  Imagery has always been the quintessential medium for "storytelling." Shaped by art, it combines the virtual imaginings of artistry, causing them to overlap with reality, using "fabricated outcomes" to reflect "genuine emotions." "The Great Endeavor" employs the form of a "mockumentary" to showcase the steel-and-concrete jungle of modern construction under the advancement of human technology, yet it juxtaposes this with the natural environment in a starkly discordant manner.

From the vast oceans to the desolate deserts, a sense of oppression envelops the hearts of the spectators. "Why is the great endeavor considered great?" This profound inquiry strikes at the very core of the soul, exemplifying the concrete dynamic expression that imagery bestows upon abstract thought in the digital era; it carves out new pathways for the transmission of emotion in art.

The expressive power of imagery often allows emotions to take root in reality while simultaneously transcending its boundaries, seamlessly surging into the realm of art. The holographic immersive work "The Vicissitudes of Time" creates a dreamlike domain. The artist traverses the enigmatic lands of Xinjiang, where the transformations of the landscape over hundreds of millions of years have endowed the mountains, rivers, and lakes with strength, resilience, and beauty.

Through the use of procedurally generated real-time imagery, the undulating energy of "an eon in a glance" is interpreted within the interplay of light and shadow. The eternal vitality of nature and the colossal energy of rebirth through nirvana are depicted by the imagery as "a transition from majestic mountains and rivers to the vibrant, pulsating iridescence, finally settling into tranquility, becoming a deep, serene blue as steady as the mountains." At this moment, the physical space is imperceptibly transformed by the imagery into a field of emotional exchange, further reshaping the expressive dimensions of contemporary art.

As the beams of projection pierce through the boundaries of physical space, we witness not just a breakthrough in technology, but a revolutionary expansion in the dimensions of artistic expression. As a pivotal medium in new media art creation, projection technology is redefining the physical laws and perceptual logic of creation—it transforms building facades into breathing organisms, visualizes data flows as emotional spectra, and converts void spaces into immersive spiritual vessels. This form of expression, which breaks free from material constraints, not only provides artists with tools to reconstruct reality but also establishes a resonant channel that reaches directly into the soul between the viewer and the artwork.

In the evolution of the future art ecosystem, imagery is destined to transcend its role as a medium and become a core element in constructing an aesthetic system of symbiotic virtuality and reality. With the continuous iteration of real-time interaction, holographic imaging, and AI generation technologies, projection art as a presentation medium will deeply integrate into public art, experimental theater, and virtual reality scenarios, forming a dynamic aesthetic network that spans the physical and digital realms.
