王雅慧王雅慧的創作形式涵括錄像、裝置、攝影、繪畫，從現實與影像的交會重疊處，提出許多關於虛／實、內／外空間、影像本質、觀看經驗的問題。在主題上，則關注在東方的自然哲學中，人與世界的關係與思維方式，並從當代生活的經驗中，探索重新納入這種思維方式的可能性。Draw a Circle2020｜互動響應式網頁在 Draw aCircle 當中，使用者必須順著畫面上的圓形搜索才能找到感應區塊，因此，當他們在這個介面停留期間，眼與手也必須協調一致地回應這個圓形。一旦觸動感應區塊，便會啟動長度一分鐘的錄像作品。藝術家在創作時，常感覺像在浩瀚的宇宙中尋找發亮的星星，而太空船雖然必須由人來駕駛，但也須遵循著宇宙的規則才能順利航行，唯有人與宇宙合作時，方能踏上尋找星星的旅程。https://martian.beauxarts.tw/artwork/wang_yahui_draw_a_circleYa-Hui WANGEngaged in video, installation, photography and painting, the artist raisesquestions from the overlap of reality and imagery about virtual/real,interior/exterior, essence of imagery and viewing experience.

謝佑承謝佑承的專長為複合媒體及空間裝置，其創作擅長製造臨場的觀察誤區，關注影像、機器和錯覺現象之間異動的主體性，進而對應至人與世界的認識經驗與存在關係。星叢 / 藍幕2020｜互動響應式網頁夕陽低垂，各種光在夜裡浮動閃現。熙來攘往的公路車潮與通明深邃的街燈，遠看是點點微光與星叢，構築了現代生活與城市。流水時間隨一幀幀靜態影像片段切格，循序播放，造就了真實般的觀視錯覺。而現在，超級逼真的巨量影像以各種介面，朝我們襲來。在此刻所有人被迫遣返的獨處時刻，眼前唯留發光的屏幕與影像，這一切也許是從一個碰撞的火花開始，光以點綿延成線，以線拓展為面， 構成時間與文明。星叢 ▸ https://martian.beauxarts.tw/artwork/hsieh_yucheng_star_cluster藍幕 ▸ https://martian.beauxarts.tw/artwork/hsieh_yucheng_blue_screenYu-Cheng HSIEHSpecialized in mixed media and spatial installations, the artist often createsskillfully on-site optical illusions to explore the floating subjectivity amongimage, machine and illusional phenomena, in the hope to reflect upon bycorrespondence the relationship between empirical world and existential state ofhuman beings.Star Cluster / Blue Screen2020｜Interactive and responsive web pageThe sun goes down and all sorts of shimmering lights linger at night. Thebustling highway traffic and bright, deep street light, seen from far, haveturned into dispersed dim lights and a star cluster, both of which constitutethe modern urban life. The flow of time is cut into static frames of fragmentedimages, which are played in sequence to create a visual illusion of reality.Nowadays, a great amount of images of super verisimilitude, through all sorts ofinterfaces, have invaded us. At the moment when everyone is forced to regain thelife of solitude, all left in front of us are the glowing screens and images. Inthe beginning, it might start from a collision of sparkles from which lightstretches out by spots as a line expanding into a surface, by which time andcivilization are thus constituted.Star Cluster ▸ https://martian.beauxarts.tw/artwork/hsieh_yucheng_star_clusterBlue Screen ▸ https://martian.beauxarts.tw/artwork/hsieh_yucheng_blue_screenPowered by Firstory Hosting

李明學李明學反轉生活周遭物件的使用方式，轉換其外觀造型或被觀看的角度，在探索當代藝術的可能性上，創造出輕盈的另類解讀。他以幽默的手法，重新檢視媒體、教育與社會框架下，對各種事物／物件的慣性理解。遙望的空洞2020｜互動響應式網頁人們總傾向相信「呈現」所帶來的一切，無論是透過視覺上所謂的「有圖有真相」，或是任何有形的證據紀錄，都是「眼見為憑」所衍生出的意識形態。講究科學邏輯的「呈現」，攻佔了人們大部分的生活，然而，作為「呈現」反面的「缺席」所連繫的無形情感，抑或是稍縱即逝的無法描述，卻成了一個難以遙望的空洞。令人感到可怕的是，這種空洞並非不存在，而是人們的視而不見。https://martian.beauxarts.tw/artwork/james_minghsueh_lee_distant_hollowJames Ming-Hsueh LEEHis work often spotlights on the objects found in all sorts of stores. With apenetrating sense of humor, he reexamines and challenges the conventionalunderstanding of ‘things’ indoctrinated by the media, education and society.Through reversing the concept of objects--correct usage, appearance or humanperception, the artist is able to offer refreshing and amusing interpretationsso as to explore other possibilities of contemporary art.Distant Hollow2020｜Interactive and responsive web pageAs always, people are inclined to believe what the “presentation” brings about,whether by visual effects, as the saying goes — “Pictures don't lie,” or byrecorded evidence of any physical form: each bears an ideology derived from “Tosee is to believe.” The “presentation” with a meticulous logic of science hasinvaded most people's lives, and yet, in contrast to the “presentation,” the“absence” connected to invisible emotions or fleeting descriptions beyond wordsbecomes a distant hollow hard to glance over. It is frightening that the hollowis not non-existential, but people chose to ignore it deliberately.https://martian.beauxarts.tw/artwork/james_minghsueh_lee_distant_hollowPowered by Firstory Hosting

牛俊強牛俊強長期從事錄像和平面複合媒材創作，作品以「視覺作為一種存在的形式」出發，延伸至時空向度中，讓不可見的關係連結、個人至群體的生命意識得以浮現，擅長闡述「存在的本質」。Self Portrait2020｜互動響應式網頁藝術家在臺灣盲人重建院擔任了一年多的志工，期間接觸了十二位全盲的視障者。經過一段時間的相處後，藝術家問他們：「你覺得我的外表是什麼樣子?」他們以聲音、氣味、移動的感覺等「非視覺」的經驗描述藝術家的長相，他再將這些描述外表的文字，以布萊爾點字（盲文）的方式打在與身等高的牛皮上。這些點字如同從皮膚裡長出的疹子，也像年代不詳的古卷地圖。這件作品是可見與不可見的辯證，也是對視覺藝術外在形態追求的省思。明眼者無法從點字內容得知藝術家的外表，而學過盲文的視障者則能從這些點字，「看見」事物形貌下更深刻的本質。https://martian.beauxarts.tw/artwork/niu_junqiang_self_portraitJun-Qiang NIUThe artist focuses on video, film and mixed media installations which departsfrom the idea of “seeing as a form of existence” to elaborate the nature ofobjects.
During the creative conception, the artist endeavors to investigate theinvisible relations between materiality and spirituality to foreground theindividual, even collective life consciousness. He has worked with differentsorts of participants to narrate their pasts to create a more united experience.Self Portrait2020｜Interactive and responsive web pageThe artist has worked as a volunteer at the Institute for the Blind of Taiwanfor more than a year, during which he contacted 12 persons of complete visualloss. After getting along with them for a while, the artist asked them, “What doyou think of my appearance?” They described the artist's appearance with“non-visual” experiences such as sound, smell, and movement. Then, he translatedinto the tactile writing system (Braille) the description, typed on a piece ofcowhide equal to a person's height. The embossed transcription is similar torashes growing out of skin as well as to dateless ancient scroll maps. Theartwork serves as a dialectics of visible and invisible, and as a reflection inpursuit of the external form of visual art. The visually abled have no access tothe artist's appearance by Braille, but the visually disabled who have learnedBraille can “see” by the embossed code a more profound essence from theappearance.https://martian.beauxarts.tw/artwork/niu_junqiang_self_portraitPowered by Firstory Hosting
