Liminal Encounters: An Augmented Reality Exhibition | 別境:擴增實景展覽
Liminal Encounters is an outdoor art journey that explores the ways technology integrate the virtual world with our real life through artworks that make use of augmented reality (AR). As we are used to accessing information digitally in all aspects of life, the gap between the real and virtual grows closer every day. The three themes of the exhibition reflect the transformation of nature and the city, the impact of virtual information and the place of the individual within a world in flux. The journey includes virtually the works by Kikuji Kawada, Bharti Kher, Lee Bul, Toshio Shibata and Sarah Sze from the BNY Mellon collection, as well as three on-site commissioned installations by Carla Chan, Peter Nelson and Trevor Yeung. Through AR, the exhibition encourages the audience to view their surroundings from new perspectives.
《別境》是一個透過擴增實境(augmented reality)體驗探討科技如何融合現今生活的戶外藝術旅程。隨著我們習慣在生活各方面以數位方式接收資訊,現實與虛擬的距離日漸縮短。本展覽的三大主題探討大自然與城市的變化、虛擬資訊的衝擊,以及在瞬間萬變的世界中如何自處。展覽以虛擬方式呈獻川田喜久治、巴爾提·卡爾、李昢、柴田敏雄以及薩拉·斯茨來自紐約梅隆銀行藏品的作品,以及卡娜、彼得·倪森和楊沛鏗的場域委約新作。透過擴增實境,這旅程讓觀眾從全新視角體驗既定環境。
