ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
關於展覽

In our post-internet era where social media has become the main source of universal news, as a society we have become accustomed to the twisted and contorted reality of media applications platforms. These visual and textual outputs cannot be trusted as factual!

 

Constantly bombarded with imagery and news that is fundamentally nonsensical means that messages and accounts of great significance are lost amongst the sea of immaterial.

 

Super Big, Super Small addresses the irony of this reality and uses humour as a means to bringing light to this somewhat very real but dystopian actuality.

 

Through the use of dichromatic text and image, the installation forces its viewer to see the truth of our modern times in plain sight and invites them to laugh in its irony.

 

With indifferent news from recent times enhanced substantially in scale, juxtaposed with meaningful news which is diminished in scale, the installation visually and conceptually portrays the current concerns and impact of social media on art and our culture.

 

We invite the audience to participate in this immersive installation by sharing their own accounts and news through text and image, giving them the chance to install their creations in the gallery. Therefore, actively displaying the subjective nature of what is important news and what is not.

在這個後互聯網時代,社交媒體已成為全球新聞的主要來源,我們已經習慣了社交媒體平台上各種扭曲的資訊。這些圖像和文字不能被稱為事實!

 

當我們被意義含糊的圖像和文字疲勞轟炸,迷失在無關重要的資訊中,導致錯過了那些重要的訊息和報道。

 

「超大,超小」揭示了這一現實的諷刺,以幽默方式呈現這個有些荒謬但實際上非常真實的反烏托邦現實。

 

這個藝術裝置用上了雙色圖像和文字,迫使觀眾去看我們現代社會的真相,感受當中的諷刺並會心微笑。

 

通過將近期沉悶的新聞放大與有意義的新聞縮小,這個藝術裝置在視覺和概念上反映了社交媒體對我們藝術和文化的關注與影響。

 

我們邀請觀眾參與這個沉浸式裝置藝術,在畫廊中展示自己的作品——他們以文字和圖像方式分享自己個人社交媒體帳戶的資訊和新聞,以行動來展示了什麼是重要的、不重要的新聞。

學校假期剛剛開始,ArtWith將與BrightHands 合作,為您帶來有教育意義的有趣藝術家庭體驗。

 

在我們的年度展覽上,讓我們一起用印、剪、貼去創作一張大而明或小而簡單的海報,為我們的展覽增光添彩。受到沉浸式文字和圖像展的啟發——這些文字圖像繪製了當前人們關注的問題以及現代媒體對我們文化的影響,我們邀請參觀家庭和其他觀眾通過使用印刷、紙張和彩色膠帶一同製作海報,分享他們自己的經歷和觀點。完成後的海報將被安裝在我們的展覽中,讓您有機會合作,成為一名藝術家,並讓所有參觀者看到您的作品。
