A Study of Jiaqi Li's Painting
Spaces in this world:
Statement:
Baowen He is the independent avatar and assistant of Li Jiaqi, who wishes to share his research on the latter's paintings through this exhibition. By hacking into Jiaqi Li's computer, Baowen has collected image materials of the latter's paintings, which is the moment when digital media is transformed into physical paintings on the easel. It is interesting to note that today's artists rely heavily on digital media (such as images). This is in stark contrast to retrospective exhibitions of artists' lives filled with sketches and letters seen today. In decades to come, retrospective exhibitions of artists' lives may be filled with various screenshots of chats and electronic "manuscripts". By using Jiaqi Li as a sample for covert research, Baowen He hopes to explore the necessity and independence of both media. As this exhibition may face protests and opposition from the artist Jiaqi Li, Baowen He is prepared for various consequences.
3D Environment Description:
