作品提取自淘宝购物数据的铁制曲线走势图，以及连缀于波峰和波谷的 6 幅来源、指涉各异的抽象线条结构，探讨了有关意识形态、认知 / 自我认知、元绘画等背后的隐秘规则， 并暗示了时间、视觉、文化之间的熵化关联。

The exhibited work is an iron line graph depicting trends in Taobao consumption data with six abstract line structure and reference compositions clustered at its peaks and troughs. This is an exploration of ideology, cognition/self-awareness, and the hidden rules behind meta-painting, while simultaneously hinting at the entropic association between time, vision, and culture.

杨健，1982 年出生于福建，2007 年毕业于厦门大学艺术学院获硕士学位。他于 2010 年获得荷兰 Stichting Niemeijer 基金会赞助支持，2015 年获得第四届三亚艺术季“华宇青年奖” 评委会特别奖。现生活、工作于北京和南京。

杨健的艺术实践初看起来导向某种对于情感或现象的“技术性”修辞，实则携带着忧郁的小说式内核，以及对事件处理时流露出的蒙太奇态度。其创作涉及影像、装置和行为等不同领域。

Yang Jian (b. 1982, Fujian Province, China) received his BFA from the School of Fine Arts, Xiamen University in 2007. In 2010 he was awarded funding by the Dutch Niemeijer Fonds Foundation. In 2015, he won the Special Jury Prize of Huayu Youth Award at the Fourth Art-Sanya. Yang Jian currently lives and works in Beijing and Nanjing.

At first glance, Yang Jian's artistic practice seems oriented towards a kind of "technical" rhetoric with regards to emotions or phenomena, when in actual fact it possesses a melancholic, novel-like core, as well as a montage-like attitude that is revealed when his work deals with specific incidents. His artistic output includes video, installations and performance, among other domains.
