The surface of the world is composed of innumerable points which may be abstracted for the sake of comprehension, like molecules, numbers, and pixels, they may also be an apple, a road, or a single person. Under these points, there are numerous nets, which are independent but also link everything together. They combine all of the numerous points together, and are the foundation of the points. I hope to see the nets through the points to explore the core of the world underneath.

 I reconstruct the points and nets to create a visual representation of their relationships within our physical reality. My interpretation is a representation of my thoughts of these points in the world and my respect for them. They all come from a symbol that I created, which is extracted from my existence and presents the essence of my thought. In the process of the repetition it evolves and turns into a practical life, which becomes my avatar and shares the same soul with me.

 

 世界的表面由无数的点组成,这些点可能是抽象的分子,数字,像素,也可能是一个苹果,一条道路或一个人。存在于这些点之下,是一张张网,它们独立又各自相连,把无数的点整合起来,是点的根基。 我想要透过点,看到网,去探寻网以下世界的核心。

 我通过陶瓷材料去表现和重构点与网的关系,展现现实存在中的唯美和我对它们的尊重。它们来源于我创造的一个符号,于我的存在中抽丝而出并代表了我思想的中心。在不断重复的过程中它们演变成一个个有实体的生命,成为我的分身,与我共享一个灵魂。

 “What is rational is actual and what is actual is rational.” ——Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel’s philosophy

 

“At first, it was thought that the Earth's atmosphere consisted of hydrogen compounds—methane, ammonia and water vapour—and that life began under such reducing conditions, which are conducive to the formation of organic molecules.” ——Wikipedia

 

Susanne Katherina Langer (/ˈlæŋər/; née Knauth; December 20, 1895 – July 17, 1985) was an American philosopher, writer, and educator and was well known for her theories on the influences of art on the mind. She was one of the first women in American history to achieve an academic career in philosophy and the first woman to be popularly and professionally recognized as an American philosopher. Langer is best known for her 1942 book entitled, Philosophy in a New Key. In 1960, Langer was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[4]

Langer believed that symbolism is the central concern of philosophy because it underlies all human knowing and understanding.[12] As with Ernst Cassirer, Langer believed that what distinguishes humans from animals is the capacity for using symbols. While all animal life is dominated by feeling, human feeling is mediated by conceptions, symbols, and language. Animals respond to signs, but stimulus from a sign is significantly more complex for humans. The perspective also is associated with symbolic communication where animal societies are studied to help understand how symbolic communication affects the conduct of members of a cooperating group.           

Langer is one of the earliest philosophers who paid close attention to the concept of the virtual. Inspired by Henri Bergson's notions of matter and memory, she connected art to the concept of the virtual. For her, figuring out the space of an art work by its creator was no less than building a virtual world. She describes virtuality as "the quality of all things that are created to be perceived." For her, the virtual is not only a matter of consciousness, but something external that is created intentionally and existing materially, as a space of contemplation outside of the human mind. Langer sees virtuality as a physical space created by the artist, such as a painting or a building, that is “significant in itself and not as part of the surroundings.”                  -----------WIKIPEDIA
