数字技术的应用对全球各个领域都产生了重大影响并已经成为我们生活的一部分。随着数据传输和处理速度的不断提升，我们的世界每一天都在为人类打开新的可能。艺术创作也毫无例外的受其影响——当代艺术和欣赏者的关系也随之重塑。

　　新发明不断地超越着我们五官感知的极限，而这种超越越来越多地走出实验室，踏进人们的日常生活。我们也开始问自己如果没有这些近年来才出现，却已经不可缺少的技术，我们将何去何从。

　　我们对于这一全球现象的理解和分析远远赶不上它的飞速演化。

　　《感知增生》将两种来自不同文化的洞悉呈现给观者：中法艺术家的不同观点通过一系列的装置作品进行对话。艺术家们通过他们的作品来探讨在数字革命中人类和环境的关系。

　　Curator'sForeword

　　The use of digital technology has transformed all areas of activity and has spread over the entire world to become an obvious part of our lives.

　　Everyday our world offers new possibilities to man, by increasing endlessly the speed of processing and transferring data. The field of artistic creation is no exception to this rule and the relations between the audience and contemporary art are also remodelled.

　　The frontiers imposed upon us by our five senses are continually pushed further away by new inventions, which slide from the realm of experimentation to everyday life more and more quickly. Indeed, we often wonder how we could have lived without some of the technology that, although rather recent, seems to have become indispensable today.

　　Our ability to analyze and comprehend these global phenomena can hardly keep up with their rapid evolution.

　　The "Augmented Senses" exhibition brings together two visions: one from China and one from France, two different approaches for a composite dialogue taking form along a path of installations. This question, nourished by the artists' works, centres on the relation between man and his environment, at the heart of the digital revolution…

　　策展人序言

　　围绕“感知增生”这一主题，每一位参展艺术家透过作品呈现了他们对于持续中“媒体变革”的洞察与思考，以及这一深刻变革下可能发生的人体机能感知部分发生重构的想象与表现。“增生”作为生物学术语，原指细胞通过分裂繁殖而数目增多的现象，这种现象有可能是好的生理性增生，也有可能是不好的病理性增生。那“感知”究竟将发生怎样的“增生”呢?会以怎样的方式、朝着怎样的方向分裂延续呢?而增生的改变又将如何广泛影响艺术创造呢?

　　展览透过媒体艺术、交互装置、感知系统等等关键词，将呈现一场别开生面的感知体验。试图以室内展览、户外大型随境生象作品，校园讲座等系列公共教育活动，多元呈现这场媒体艺术盛宴。将向公众集中展示一批目前在中法两国具有代表性的媒体艺术家作品风貌，也是首次集中展示近年来在中法两国目前较为活跃的中青年新媒体艺术家及其作品。同时也期望通过与作品发生连接与互动，观众能获得别样“感知”体验，进而对新媒体艺术有所了解，对艺术、科技、文化的发展及趋势有所洞察和思考。

　　展览室内部分将展出形式多元的28件作品，包括影像及影像装置、多重途径的互动装置(声音、空间距离、指纹识别…)、激光与机械工程装置，迷你光学剧场与大体量的空间装置、数字衍生艺术(generation art)以及视听觉艺术作品(audiovisual)等……艺术家将以科学技术结合声、光、电、影以其各自的艺术形式和创作角度对“感知增生”进行诠释。

　　Curator'sForeword

　　Every artist leverages the theme of Sens Augmentés into his/her works to proclaim their own insights and thoughts concerning the ongoing “Media Reform”, as well as the imagination and expression of the fact that the perceptual functions of human body may reconstruct in the profound changes. As a biological terminology, “Augmentes” (i.e. “Hyperplasia” in French) literally means the phenomenon that the number of cells increases after fissiparity. The phenomenon can refer to either positive Physiological Hyperplasia or negative Pathological Hyperplasia. As a metaphor, what will happen when “Sens” meets “Augmentés”? How will the “Augmentes” develop? What significance and changes will the “Augmentés” bring to creative art?

　　This exhibition will demonstrate an impressive perception and provide a brand-new experience through such key words as Media Art, Interactive Installations, Perception System and so on. The media art festival is to be presented via a series of public education campaigns including indoor exhibitions, large-scale outdoor on-site works, campus workshops and so forth. In addition, this exhibition will not only introduce to the public selected works by renowned media artists from China and France, but also show the recently-famed French and Chinese media artists from the younger generation and their master pieces. Furthermore, it is also expected to bring the audiences diverse “perceptual experiences” through in-depth connection and interaction with artworks, allow audiences to further perceive the new media arts as well as deeply observe and think about the development and trend of art, science, technology and culture.

　　This exhibition will unveil 28 artworks in diverse styles, including images and visual devices, multi-purpose interactive devices (sound, space distance, fingerprint identification…), laser and mechanical devices, mini optical theatre and large-scale space settings, digital generation art, audiovisual art and so on. Artists will interpret a new definition of Sens Augmentés using their own aesthetic patterns and creative perspectives as well as scientific and technical approaches through sound, light, electricity and shadow.
