The exhibition Maize Maze: Immortality Experiment brings together reflections on technology by sixteen artists working across international contexts.The act of walking in Maize Maze becomes an initial way of engaging with the exhibition’s layered entanglements of technology, emotion, and embodiment. As we are drawn into digital information systems, we find ourselves continuously negotiating the ever-evolving standards that shape renewed modes of perception and interaction.The exhibition invites meaning to arise through movement and interaction with artworks across multiple media. From oil paintings inspired by 3D computer scanning to those tracing emotional flows between digital interfaces and the canvas, and from idealised bodies and virtual presences in VE spaces to code-based jewellery and metallic bread sculptures that reflect on the fundamental differences between human and machine labor, the artworks in this exhibition evoke a sense of disorientation and uncertainty in the post-digital age. As a whole, the experience of walking through the exhibition resembles moving through a labyrinth. By approaching contemporary art as as a means of recalibrating perception, the artists represented here expose how bodies and ways of seeing are adjusted and thereby challenging the stability of standards that govern visibility, presence, and value within post-digital systems.
展览Maize Maze: Immortality Experiment汇集了十六位来自国际背景的艺术家对科技的思考。漫步于“玉米迷宫”之中，便成为体验展览中科技、情感与具身交织的初始方式。当我们被卷入数字信息系统时，我们发现自己不断地在不断演变的标准中周旋，这些标准塑造着我们感知和互动的新模式。展览邀请观众通过移动和与多种媒介的艺术作品互动来产生意义。从受3D计算机扫描启发的油画，到描绘数字界面与画布之间情感流动的作品；从虚拟空间中理想化的身体和虚拟存在，到反思人类劳动与机器劳动根本差异的代码珠宝和金属面包雕塑，本次展览中的艺术作品唤起了后数字时代一种迷失和不确定感。整体而言，漫步于展览之中，如同穿梭于迷宫之中。通过将当代艺术视为重新校准感知的一种手段，这里展出的艺术家们揭示了身体和观看方式是如何被调整，从而挑战了后数字系统中支配可见性、存在感和价值的标准稳定性。
