Cabinet of Senses

Cabinet of Senses 
Science and art are related to each other. However, many people believe that there is separation between science and art, even between science and everyday life. As a consequence, people lose their desire of knowing the world in a scientific way. In this project, I investigate the relationship between science and art and try to evoke people’s interests about scientific knowledge.
For the illustration, I used the idea of the ‘cabinet of curiosities’ to combine science and art. What I want to show to the audience is not specific scientific knowledge, but supply a trigger for curiosity. I want the audience to consider scientific knowledge in a new light, a light that offers them inspiration in the field of art.

感官箱
作品研究的是如何用艺术的方式传达科学,激发大众对科学的兴趣和想象力。
我选择用“好奇柜”这个概念作为科学和艺术的结合点,它同时包含了科学的研究目的和对美感的考究,从收纳中体现了不同人在不同历史阶段的好奇心和对世界的探索。
我的创作灵感来源于人类感官。细胞把外界不同的刺激变成大脑可以理解的动作电位,大脑依此重建起外部世界,构成我们所认知的现实。
我的目的不是以视觉化传授某一块知识,而是给观众提供一个好奇的触发点、一个对科学知识的想象空间。告诉人们科学从不会毁灭想象,相反,会提供给艺术和生活无尽的灵感。
