Yu Li = Symbol ink + roof leak marks + astrological map + Qi ink
Yu Li is a hermit of Chinese studies and family studies. In him, you can see his family background and the behavior traces of the first batch of intellectuals in the May Fourth New Culture Movement. Therefore, in Li's ink works in 2013, you are constantly infected by his Qi ink with southern gardens and Taihu stone landscapes. This new ink style is in the bones. Soaked with the decline, sadness and corruption in the bones of the old literati in the south, but Yu Li has another side of his character, which is his experience of walking in the art world and establishing the New Art Pier in the past few years. His new ink painting art has the characteristics of hard edge art. If you look closely at his Taihu stone symbol ink painting works, you will see the effect of leaking roofs similar to the mountain and river shooting from satellites. This visual form has changed the way we view ink painting art. One is the close-up Taihu stone, and the other is the effect of aerial photography similar to astrological astrological map. This combination of imperialist narrative and the sad feelings of the old literati made Yu Li play a mix-and-match artistic roadmap in the New Beijing School of Ink Painting.

3. Metauniverse Art Summit Forum
December 31, 2021
21:12 The forum opened
Curator Wang Qicheng:
Dear all invited artists and friends, respected Mr. Tiejun, respected Mr. Li Nan, respected Mr. Han Weihua, we have invited a total of 22 artists this time. During the 2020 New Year's Eve, we held an on-site exhibition in Songzhuang, Beijing, which was the first 2020 China Contemporary Art Invitational Exhibition and Summit Forum. Everyone was very happy to invite our teacher Huang Yan as an academic host. From last year to this year, due to the epidemic, we are online, and I think it is also a very good behavior, because now we can hardly distinguish between virtual and reality.
So I used this online event as a live invitation for our New Year’s Eve. Because our WeChat circle is also on site, we can also call it the first year of the Meta Universe this time. The so-called Meta Universe is actually a virtual reality. I just posted such a conceptual text in our group, so I think this event is also very grateful to everyone for participating in this event. There are artist friends from all over the country, probably from more than a dozen provinces and cities, who participated in this event. Thank you very much! 2022 is also a very magical number. I think in the past 1,000 years, it may be very rare for this 2022 to appear at the same time!
The reasons for the epidemic this year, so our general process tonight is like this. Let me explain to you. First, the teachers we sponsored, including our artist representative Mr. Han Weihua, gave a speech and expression.Then our respected Mr. Tiejun is also an indispensable figure in Chinese contemporary art. He has very high attainments and influence in all aspects of academics and art. So this time, Mr. Tiejun was specially invited as the academic host of this event. In this way, 2022 will come in a few hours. So I think our artists will have a deeper thinking about life, our society, and the universe. I think artists should have their own greater achievements in this era, so I would like to invite our academic host of this exhibition to be presented to us. Teacher Tiejun will come to the stage to give a speech to our event!
Li Tiejun
Hello everyone, I am Li Tiejun. At this last moment of 2021, I want to pass after our forum. As the host of this forum, I am also very honored to be together with new and old friends in this form on the occasion of the New Year and the New Year. So this time I think it is a very meaningful host.
Our forum this time is mainly aimed at the relationship between the new concept of the metaverse and art. As the proposal of the new concept of the metaverse, it is actually a very sudden thing, especially on the land of China. Therefore, this form of the metaverse and post-human society has basically become a major trend now. So as artists, as the group of people who are involved in art and pay attention to the development of the world, especially the curator Mr. Wang Qicheng, and including this one, including the curator. The organizers of the organizing committee believe that we need to have our own understanding at the turning point of this time. On the one hand, we are discussing together, communicating and communicating with each other. At the same time, it is also a very meaningful gathering for us. Then, let’s talk about our views in order. Art is a technological return to life itself. This is a sentence from the artist Wang Fei, right? As the creator of this psychic art, Wang Fei is also a guest attending the forum. Now, please invite Mr. Wang Fei to talk about it.
Wang Fei
Happy New Year to all artists. I am the first to talk about the relationship between the metaverse and art. I am indeed not prepared for it because I don’t know much about the metaverse to the truth, because I don’t know much about it, because I just had a popular topic. I follow my personal, a kind of illusory world.
I think art itself, that is, its origin comes from imagination, from non-realistic things, such as early Chinese, some bronzes from the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty culture, or other types. In fact, they are all imagination and imagination. They are a way for the ancients to understand or establish a relationship with an external mysterious force of this universe. For example, ritual instrument , sacrificial objects include witchcraft. These ancient cultures are actually a kind of way, to be said today, the meta-universe. Therefore, my persistence over the years is also based on this logic to think about contemporary art and contemporary art creation.
The modernist era also had a meta-universe. For example, in the Picasso era, the era of supermodernism, they were actually close to science at that time. Influenced by mathematical physics at that time, a wave of 's fourth dimension was set off in Europe. Modern Western art is greatly influenced by science. I have always believed that artistic concepts are scientific concepts, new ideas and new horizons of science, and an impact on art, which triggered the revolution in art.
Then I don’t think it’s unusual to talk about this thing today. In human history, I think the parallel world has always been divided in this way. For example, the three aspects of heaven and hell on earth are originally the same as the parallel universe . So this simplicity is that humans have always believed that in addition to the earth, there is also the sky and that hell, but this is an abstract concept, and it’s still a concept. No one knows where hell is and where heaven is, but people will imagine it as an existence. This is the fundamental of cultural and artistic expression in culture and art, and it is also the earliest meta-universe concept. So I think that for today's art, we should think about this more essential thing about art today. I think one is transuniverse and parallel, and it has the same graphic world, or it can reach another graphic world, for example, we talk about the display of inspiration for art. When an inspiration flashes, he must be a parallel, one from a parallel world, and then travels to another parallel world. There is a hole in the middle. Whether we call this hole wormhole or a black hole, he will enter a space, because there is a life and soul in each parallel universe. If a person crosses this kind of peace of our three-dimensional world, he will reach a higher dimension, or reach a low level of quantity inside. In the world, I think this is a creation, there is a methodology or worldview.
My works are mainly ink and painting and splicing and combination. In fact, I have been pursuing the issue of dimensions, including the montage in the movie, including virtual digital technology , a complex virtual, vision is all thinking space, but I think this year's thinking space, a technical space we want to express completely, I have an additional dimension, about the dimension of the soul and spirit, which is relatively missing in contemporary art. Picasso, like them, they all have a thinking space, but Picasso's spiritual dimension is still missing, and his dimension is not as good as Dali in this regard.
Like Dali, they are more in line with a physical expression, a Turkic expression, which is the human mind or human spirit, or the human soul, what they cannot see, and they have not been completely integrated into it. This is another direction we need to work hard today. It is a kind of spiritualization of the individual, which is a surreal spirit and soul, into a holistic world, an illusory, or a world of multidimensional .
So my work is always looking for innerity or it is a bit like witchcraft. It is a channel connecting the world and man. My name is the art of spiritual medium. I think it is a spiritual medium. This medium is not an ordinary material medium. It is a spiritual medium. For communication between all things, it also depends on spirituality, not on the body. It is not relying on language, just like it is a kind of qi theory in Chinese. It relies on a kind of qi, which can travel through different parallel spaces, and people cannot travel through it. Therefore, we must inject this qi and this spirituality or spirituality into this material so that the work can have a certain degree of deepness, a penetration, or a commonality with the heaven, earth and all things.
Li Tiejun
Faye Wong Teacher I just said that I used my own works to talk about my original intention and focus of each creation. So, it should be said that in Teacher Faye Wong's work, we can see that it is another virtual space that is parallel to the real world, independent of the real world, I think.He can feel it in his works, so from this perspective, there is such a kind of circular universe, and this nature. Teacher Wang Fei just mentioned it just now. It is the origin and the origin of actual art. It is the concept of the metaverse. Regarding the issue of the metaverse, it does need to be discussed by everyone. Next, we will invite Mr. Wang Aijun to talk to you.
Mr. Wang Aijun, the dean of the Modern Art Academy of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts, . He has been discussing this year, using the form of painting, including my feeling that his concept has been paying attention to the relationship between the universe. Of course, it is another statement with the metaverse. Judging from his matters and picture structure, he is thinking about a relatively broad artistic spirit.
is about the metaverse originating from this game. Of course, the current term is completely beyond a game. I don’t know if you have seen a movie called the Matrix. It was five or six years ago. At that time, I took an American course. I heard that the director was actually studying it. It was called clone at that time. But now, it is actually a cause of a metaverse. At the same time, in the film and television industry, there is a movie called the Out of Control Player. I have also watched it. When I watched it, I really didn’t understand the metaverse, but later I watched it.
Teacher Wang hasn't come up yet, so I asked Teacher Xu Zhen to talk to you first.
Xu Zhen
I think we should have two clear concepts when talking about this meta universe today. The first one is the technical level that we are talking about, there is the universe.
There is another one, which is the metaverse of our world discussion level or overall artistic creation. Teacher Wang may have just talked about it more inclined to the latter, so in this case, I think it is because when we are talking about the metaverse today, it is necessary to repeatedly see the difference between the two.
So from this technical level alone, the metaverse we are talking about is one. With the advent of the times, we have ushered in a new wave on this Internet technology. So the two small pictures I just posted can help you have a preliminary understanding of the metaverse concept mentioned so far, because after all, we are not playing this thing, and I don’t know if our group has tried this aspect, such as nft, if you have played it, you can introduce it to you.
Then I think this metaverse, no matter how advanced it is, in my opinion, it is still a technical problem. As for artistic creation, it still needs to return to art itself. As Teacher Wang Fei said just now, we have our own understanding of the world and our artistic creation. Technology is a process from obscuring to wall removal on our road to technology. This technology is just a tool, not just a tool, some including Heidegger. These philosophers have also reflected on this modern technology. While we are welcoming technology, we cannot occasionally forget our own existence and find this so-called freedom. In fact, the truth is the same. So it should be an opening, not a slave to this modern technology. For us today, thinking is to face today's world, with technological progress, especially the many relationships between man and nature, the relationship between tradition and reality, the relationship between science and technology and development, and the relationship between science and technology and nature that have happened in the past two years.
I think these things should be something that we contemporary artists think about, so when we face modern technology, we cannot be the so-called car of modern technology, because once we become his car, we will enter his system, and he will force us to go, and then forget the way we came.
Because of today's technology, it has forced people to move forward, and people unknowingly think that if they master the technology, they can mature through this technology. In fact, we have become slaves of this technology without realizing it, and we are slaves. So in my creative work, the work I published today belongs to blue and white porcelain, and is technically chaotic, because technology is just an abstract concept after all, so I adopt this subjective visualization method to present it. I think to think about it, what is the final result of technology? This should be something to think about. As the concept of the meta-universe of the new technology now, the dream we are talking about now connects with reality. Finally, I recommend you to look at the out-of-control book written by Kevin Kelly, which is a good answer to the questions we are facing today, including the Internet of technology.
Here, we also talk about the future. It is about thinking about this problem from the perspective of human historians. The combination of brain and computers, the integration of human resources, the combination of dreams and reality, all of which are answered. So the future has come, we sometimes just don’t see its trend, so today is about the principle of artistic creation and the principle of technology.
Wang Aijun
Hello, brother Tiejun, hello to all artists.
I'm sorry, because I still have something to do outside, so I didn't participate in this venue in time.
First of all, thank you Brother Tiejun. I think it is very meaningful to organize such a forum. This is also a very honorable thing. I can say a few words here and share some of my own thoughts and thoughts with you.
I think the concept of the metaverse is becoming more and more popular now, which is to attract widespread attention. I think there are two meanings in this concept. One meaning is virtual reality, and the other meaning is actually the development of the Internet. In fact, the core of these two meanings is that because of the advancement of today's technology, we can realize this kind of linking and happening in a virtual space beyond imagination.
I think the first thing is this virtual reality. As a technology, we call it the origin of virtual reality since 2017, then it officially entered various technical fields, and then the art field, which attracted a lot of attention.
It should be said that at that time I was also very concerned about this concept, because in fact, there were a lot of such content in my courses, but I was not paying much attention to it at that time. For technical issues, I felt that I understood this virtual reality from an artistic perspective, so this involved a very fundamental concept in art, that is, imagination.
I think virtual reality is actually the most direct link with art, which refers to people's fantasy ability, and then forms a reality in fantasy. In fact, this is to understand virtual reality from the perspective of art.
Of course, after the concept of meta-universe was proposed, it was no longer a simple virtual. Such a simple concept will be very specific and in-depth in the future, affecting human life. It is even possible that in the future, humans will spend a lot of time living in the virtual, turning virtual into a daily life.
should be what we can see now, and it should be like this in the future. So I think the impact on human beings is inevitable, and we must accept that it will happen.
As an artist, I think because art itself is still an individual, then every artist takes different angles, methods, attitudes, and attitudes in the face of such life, daily changes. So whether he can express the core or meaning of the metaverse or future life in his works with a pioneering and predictive manner depends on each artist, his financial resources, his sensitivity, etc.
At the same time, I think art must be personal and must be diverse. There is no need to panic about what will happen to this metaverse in the future. There is no need for artists to think independently in any period, so there will be various angles and art works on various ideas
About a month ago, the Experimental Art School of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts did host a forum in the field of photography, imaging and media. Some experts have also invited discussions from all over the country. At this forum, I also raised some issues such as this universe, the second dimension, the future art, and the future life. Then some experts have expressed some opinions. I think at present, it is because since it is an artist, it must be sensitive, then thinking and discussing the future, I think it is a good thing.
Li Tiejun
Teacher Aijun has thought about this issue, and it has actually entered this kind of thinking in its work field, as well as his understanding of our own role.
can grasp this sensitivity to development and may be more expanding to your own art.
Next, please invite Mr. Yang Yi. Mr. Yang Yi is the president of the Overseas Artists Association. In recent years, he has been very active and has also actively promoted the expansion of Chinese culture and contemporary art around the world.
Teacher Yang Yi led a large number of overseas Chinese in the United States. When I went to the United States, it happened to be the exhibition of Chinese ink painting in the metropolis. So we have been discussing together that the development of Chinese art, so he has always paid attention to the development of Chinese artists abroad, including their life interactions, or art exhibitions, and he has made great contributions.
Teacher Yang Yi has not appeared yet, so let’s invite three teachers to talk about it.
Korean Sanzhi
Thank you very much for sending such an invitation at noon. I am also honored to be here. Our way of talking today has already crossed the metaverse. We were still facing each other, so we must sit together to chat. Now, because of the technology, we have made us walk together in space again, so to a certain extent, the concept of the metaverse is also an inevitable concept.
How is it called the concept of necessity? The development of our human beings reminded of several points, the first point, our imagination, the relationship between the existence of all things, and the relationship between dimensions or life. For example, when we talk about this dimension, it is possible that you should think of completely exaggerating our imagination, thinking of words such as big, nothing outside, nothing inside, then, in some religions or philosophy of our ancestors or culture in the past, they have also thought about the dimension of the universe, such as the reincarnation or Buddhahood in Buddhism,
What kind of dimension are they, and what about Taoism? Like when I was explaining, I said that this Tao cannot be said, and the Tao cannot be said. Later, when I was thinking about this issue hard, I found that it was not the concept that we philosophers fully explained that it is the law and Tao is the law. In the end, it may be attributed to the metaphysical, and you must not touch it. The concept of creating matter that we are talking about is who created the law, and who designed the law is not to be discussed. It is what we have always imagined and are thinking about the existence of the Tao and the problem of creating matter, so what about this dimension? Then we propose it, for example, everyone proposes the multidimensional universe, the multidimensional universe, and the parallel universe, and now it comes out again.
Now another meta-universe has emerged. This meta-universe is relative to our real life. This is all aspects of technology. Now, today, as soon as our Internet is born, it includes our early religion or philosophy.Taoism talks about these ten major cave heavens, 36 small cave heavens, and 72 blessed lands. What kind of dimension do they have? There are also Christianity, Islam, etc. In fact, among various religious schools, some imaginations about this universe, their dimensions include philosophy, such as Plato's ideal country, etc., how do they think about the relationship between social reality and ideals?
The relationship between reality and multi-dimensionality has laid an inevitable relationship for us to see such a hot metaverse around October 2021.
Later, because I liked this, everyone may not know me very much. I have been doing this hole, the art hole of this language. If this hole becomes a verb, it is a process of exploration, a process of discovery, a process of getting closer to relative truth, then the process may be thinking about things in this aspect. When you feel this metaverse, I started it in one or two years. When I was thinking about this dimension, I was relatively familiar with me, but I was not particularly familiar with the metaverse, but I quickly learned it as soon as the metaverse came out.
is a relative virtual world with our real life. In this relative virtual world, you can buy land in the future, buy houses and build galleries, and you can go to trade. This also includes our future brain-computer combination, including the fact that children's technology is already ahead, so the understanding of the metaverse will become a very inevitable relationship with our real life or the real life in the future.
should think more about more dimensions, including our imagination. I have always felt that as artists, we are not as scientists or in many scientific fields, and we have money to leave, and we want to go to Mars. Musk wants to make more than 10,000 satellites for the earth, brain-computer interfaces, etc., but we who do art do not have the same dimensions as others. There is no such feeling as people imagined, so as artists, we should easily get involved in the metaverse. We communicate and exchange our own works in this cryptographic art. We appreciate other people's works. We propose a decentralization in this block. Of course, we have done it. It is a very good multiple. After decentralization, how can we follow our ideal country and the process of civilization such as democracy, freedom and fraternity? But I still have two questions, is it decentralization, is it really decentralization, or is it the surface decentralization of some people replaced by others? For example, when the God written in the brief history of the future arrived at the God's place, some people were still controlling the so-called center, and I was still worried about the other me.
The laws and moral aspects of our society will soon have a new face in such a new era and a new preparation. The warning brought to us by the epidemic will quickly make us a turning point and turn to a new action. In the universe or multidimensional world, so the metaverse is just a parallel universe, or a parallel universe with our real life. If we have a little more imagination, we will think about more dimensions. Where will we place our souls in then? Will we become a person who can really be reincarnated? Or how to exist in this world?
This is something I especially like to think about. I dare not take up too much time here. This is what Wittgenstein said. If you know, we try to make it clear. If you don’t know, try to keep silent as much as possible, then I will say that later I felt that what he said in this sentence is more likely to be about that part of God.The Creator's part is indescribable, so stay silent because we have no way to know, but if humans say we are silent, we dare not think about that place, and whether society will have a better place to go forward, which is also a question we are thinking about. Thank you, Teacher Tiejun, thank you everyone!
Li Tiejun
Teacher Sanzhi said very well. In this special time, we had a thoughtful meeting with all friends, and we were able to communicate with this historical and record-breaking thing.
Teacher Sanzhi talked about one thing, that is, his concerns, such as value orientation, is this arise, right? At the same time, he also talked about a relationship about the eternal life of human beings, so the ultimate result of the metaverse will realize these things. Of course, it must enter the essence of the metaverse. The state of symbiosis between virtual and real is inevitable.
I think everything is developing, and everyone is in the process of understanding and participation, which is a process of our life.
Teacher Feng Kailan is a student of Teacher Wei Ligang. She has been at the forefront of exploring art for many years. She is also an envoy of the art of peace. Today I invite her to talk.
Feng Kailan
Hello, all artist friends, thank you very much for inviting me here, because as an art practitioner, I am a latecomer.
I enlarged the picture of that work again, because the data I posted at the beginning was a little small, and I sent a brief introduction to the next teacher Tiejun. I am a student of Wei Ligang. I graduated in 1988 and studied mechanical engineering at Northeastern University. When I was 42 years old in 2008, I suddenly wanted to be a painter. At first, I thought painters were just realistic. This is the perception of painters in our hearts. But as I was learning in those pre-examination classes, I found that there was another problem in my mind. What is abstraction?
What is abstraction after all? We originally thought that abstraction was a random painting, so why are there still masters? Then, fortunately, I went to Teacher Wei Ligang to learn abstract art there. Then more than ten years have passed. As I was painting, I also formed my own works by writing Chinese characters. As I was painting, I found that it was really very consistent with my own subconsciousness or nature, and my works were now.
Then, I asked him to go to Bahuang. Originally, I felt that it fully reflected my own personal temperament. I just loved fantasy too much. What else can be seen in our real world, our physical world, and the world we can see? In fact, I have always had many thoughts, constantly thinking about it, and it was not what I deliberately drew it. It just happened naturally. I think it was just right.
Now, I won’t say much about my works. Today I am honored to hear a few teachers talk about a lot of knowledge about the metaverse, because I also briefly learned about it. It just so happened that after listening to everyone’s talk about it, I have a further understanding of the concept.
Suddenly thought of this question: We know that the metaverse is a virtual world composed of numbers built by numbers. I also suddenly realized that the 3,000 Great Thousand Worlds mentioned in Buddhism, will the 3,000 Worlds contain such a metaverse world, or will the metaverse be built by human numbers reunite with the 3,000 Great Thousand Worlds mentioned in Buddhism?
I think about artists and their creations in the original universe will gradually unfold, because the metaverse itself is not clear now, and our artists' understanding will certainly not be too clear. Therefore, everyone should not be able to express it well now. So as this concept gradually becomes clear and each of us gradually participates in these practices, it may be that everyone's works will gradually emerge.
Some of the things I want to share here are like our teacher Wang Fei and Mr. Sanzhi above. They like to talk about Taoism and spirituality, which is to talk about their connection with the metaverse. I personally pay great attention to spirituality and religion. At this moment, when we are discussing the metaverse, I keep thinking about Professor Li Sizen, President of National Taiwan University. As a rigorous scientist, he has done many aspects of experiments on spirituality.
For example, he asked many children to listen to words. Suddenly, some people suggested that you listen to Buddha and write down the word Buddha to let them listen. However, the children have no words in their minds or in their inner screens, all of them are light. They even saw, for example, writing about Medicine Buddha, they saw the Baicao Garden, saw a botanical garden, or something, and received such information.
and there is also. One day, he once said that because Professor Li Sicheng was a physicist, he talked about the concept of using a brain field. I didn’t understand it very much at that time, but he said, for example, the Feng Shui that we Chinese often talk about was not easy to understand before, but it seemed that when I heard him, I suddenly had a sudden enlightenment, such as in a space, some things are placed in the physical space now, such as tables, chairs, or some metal swords and other places. These objects in the real space will form a brain field. In this brain field, I think his field must be a kind of space, which is a specific space projected from the real world, which is what we Chinese call Feng Shui.
The reason why I talk about these is that I think they are all concepts of a virtual world, but they are actually not false. According to Buddhism, it may be said that our current physical world is virtual, right? What about the real world? Indeed, the other side outside our physical world is real, right? Then, according to the virtual world described in the language and text of this physical world, we think that the brain field and Buddhism are virtual, so I think that the virtual world formed by their metaverse will be connected in some aspects in the future, and have some mutual confirmation and mutual support.
Li Tiejun
Thank you here to Teacher Kailan. Although I am indeed confused about it, right? I also saw that Teacher Kailan has been working hard. I think this is indeed a new thing, and it must have a stage, but as ours, participation is very important, right?
Next, I invite the Bharat brothers and sisters, Indian artists who have been in China for many years, to make great contributions to the cultural exchanges between China and India. In their work, they have been discussing the relationship between the universe and life, so it is also meaningful to invite Bharat to participate today.
If Teacher Balat may not be here, then we would like to invite Teacher Liu Xin. In recent years, she has been promoting art in China and Europe, and is also an artist who dares to be a brave artist from all over the world.
Liu Xin
Hello, Teacher Tiejun, Hello, Teacher Qicheng, thank you for your invitation. At such a New Year's Eve node, I think it is a very awesome thing to be able to build a meta-universe forum. I was also very excited and kept listening to the interpretations of all the teachers.
Let me briefly introduce it. I started to develop in Beijing in 2006, and then in 798, Huantieng, and Songzhuang, I drifted to Beijing for about ten years. Then I carried out cultural exchanges with Europe in about 2015, which lasted for about five years. Europe has been around the Mediterranean. Then due to the epidemic, I have not gone abroad since 2000, and then brought back Mediterranean culture for about 20 forums across the country.
When Qicheng sent the invitation today, I was very impulsive and excited because I have always been a very unique person. I think my name is also very unique, called alien. I am actually very tired of various human lifestyles, including some conventional rules. So what about this person who sets the rules may be from the perspective of his interests. As individual artists, all of us artists, I think we have entered the era of the metaverse. We must have our own imagination and freedom. Then, as artists, our imagination is self-consistent in the world we weave every day, and our life direction is the direction of our life, so I think this is the meta-universe that I like too much.
is also due to this idea. I always explore some things in outer space in my works. The differentiated space I made before, there are iterations, exhibitions in Beijing for ten years, and some, because I have been walking in the past few years. In Europe, I deeply feel this definition of races, such visas, such border blockade, and the contrast between human nature is too great, which has a particularly great impact on my mind. So, as for the regions of various countries, definitions, and the distribution of various levels of humans, I feel that these artificial things are very tired of. I feel that the future metaverse may be very transparent or even virtual, but it is very fair.
Last year's Art Guangdong Bar was interviewed by Teacher Wang Qicheng. In fact, we were interviewed by a random interview, and there was no interview with him as an interview. I was interviewed. We were like chatting, and the whole process was very relaxed and free. After the end, he said that my interview had ended. I was quite surprised. I felt that we were chatting about some very unrestrained topics, and it was very real, so sometimes we live in the real world. We cover up our inner self, our desires and our expressions, we must superimpose some hidden things, and even dare not express them, and then always in an environment that is very unreal, and it is natural to speak when we truly open our hearts and speak.
I think the future world may be a parallel world, so real and virtual, including our dreams, some of our fantasies, our spiritual and soul levels. I think these are what we artists yearn for and pursue very much. I think this person has two realms, one is the body and soul, one is the matter, and the other is the spirit. I think these switching is for all artists who are facing the Internet era and this node. But I hope that this kind of arrival will come naturally, not imposed on us, but is the trajectory of our development to this era. We artists should have this kind of acceptance of the arrival of this era. I am very pleased. Thank you all teachers for meeting you at this New Year's Eve node. We look forward to more resonance and interaction in the future metaverse. Thank you all teachers.
Li Tiejun
First of all, thanks to this alien. Teacher Liu Xing told us his hope and judgment of the future. I think she has been working hard this way, in the state of finding her own freedom, doing her own art and being her own person. That's it. So, thank you Teacher Liu Xin for sharing your personal feelings with everyone. Okay, what's next?
We will invite Teacher Yu Li. Yu Li is also a big name in contemporary art. We are constantly exploring. Although we have few encounters, we are very close to each other. I pay great attention to him. I think this feeling of art and expression of art are all very independent artists. OK, then please share with you Mr. Yu Li.
Yuli
In this special period and this day, I think it is a very honor for Tie Jun Qicheng to invite me to participate in this discussion and discuss with the art elites. So today its topic is called the Metaverse, and its relationship with artists. Let me first talk about myself, consider what kind of person I am, and what kind of person I think of myself. I am an artist according to others' opinions, and I rarely talk. You say I am not an artist, I participated in many art activities, because I started the No. 1 Art District in 2005, and I introduced the Red Brick Art Museum at that time, and I participated in art work. But others think you are a method based on our ten-inspired ones. Wang Yong said that when he saw you, you are not like an artist, you are like a businessman, but when I dated my friends in business, he said that Yu Li, you are an artist, and you are not considering problems from a business perspective. So I considered the problem, including the painting I just posted and the ink painting I drew. I am from everyone, and I dare say that I am from everyone. Because I was the No. 1 land at that time, I met many big names, including Zhang Xiaogang, Qiu Zhijie, Jia Aili, and Liu Ye. At that time, there were more than 400 artists, including art galleries, and some of the top figures of these artists. In fact, I thought that the businessman said to me, if you do art like this, you do art like this, it is a project that does not make money. The artist thinks that you want to do this, it is too expensive and does not meet the needs of this artist. But I think at that time, when I was building No. 1, I insisted on planning. What were I doing? So, many art districts have demolished the first floor and are still there, because the first floor is an existing thing, so why should I talk about these things? It's just me thinking about it. When everyone proposes this, I may consider the problem from the perspective of others. I don’t know if I am considering the problem from an artist’s perspective, or whether I am considering the problem from a businessman’s perspective, or whether I have a higher perspective to consider the problem. This is how I think. How to say
? Everyone proposed the meta universe. Everyone thinks that a new concept appears. In fact, any new concept appears, it shows signs. A young man is a virtual currency, a Chinese Canadian, and its market value is 90 billion. He has built a virtual platform and an interactive platform, but everyone says that he is a virtual currency. What he is doing is a costly thing in the future world. Why do you say that? Did you notice that you have to look at these things in the past few years? What do you need to do with this reason? What do others do when they launch them? What does it have to do with our artists?
Let me talk first, you can recall that the development of contemporary art is the development of contemporary art after World War II, and after World War II, it is the decline of classicism, Paris, and some art in Europe. Then American art rose and art went to New York. Why? Because he is a victorious country, his financial strength.All his performances can be the number in this world, including now, so, so, all the contemporary art that has been directed to, whether it is the way of human artistic consciousness, the technology used by others, or the current lifestyle, I think it is all one. Since Germany is the most thoughtful group of people in the last century, including technical elites, if you tell others, the technical part, the second-rate technology went to Russia, and Russia dismantled the German equipment and snatched it. Whether it is Russian scientists, thinkers, or second-rate, then Americans snatched this first-class thinker, first-class technician, and first-class scientific personnel. But don’t forget one thing, the most important and core figure of the Germans is the Jews. When the Jews arrived in the United States, the Jews did two things, and they turned the United States into the model they needed. I think this meta-universe was also formulated by the Jews.
Let’s talk first, look at what the Jews did since World War II. The Jews created the dollar world, the oil world, the energy world, all the lifestyles, our current technology methods, or the entertainment methods, and look at the big entertainment parties. This orientation is all done by Jews, including contemporary art. All the artists we are pushing up now, including Zhang Xiaogang, Qiu Zhijie, Jia Aili, and Zeng Fanzhi, are recommended according to their needs, because he wants to control public opinion, and his control over the world. People only control the world, control people and control people. So why does the meta-universe appear? I feel that it is difficult to control the world, because others have recognized the Jews, some of their means and some monopoly things, including the control of currency, the control of thought, and some Internet control modes. Because China and our power are slowly rising, many people in this world have formed a very transparent world, forming various villages, have you found out. This period is chaotic and the contradiction is extremely sharp. Some intelligent people need a new model or new concept to control the world. In other words, I think the metaverse may be a new, religious form, but only religious form is considered on the technical level. Entering the metaverse era, accompanied by virtual currency, the next way of life, including this way of thinking, behavior, and its entire way of life consumption, must be carried out in accordance with this way of metaverse, and also include influencing artists. We artists cannot surpass thinkers or scientists. Artists are very emotional people. Artists are not smart people, artists are very emotional, a group. They will not consider the problem from a more comprehensive question. Why do we have this thing, only consider philosophical or spiritual feelings. This is the work of the artist, but if you tell you what his essence is and what the essence of the universe is, I feel that it is the rule set by the Jews, which is an emergence. Everyone is wandering. What has the metaverse brought to us? How we artists should create has nothing to do with you, how you live, including this epidemic. I remember that I had some special relationship at that time. When I first came back from Belgium in 1999, I remember that before I went to Belgium, I chatted with a man from Blackstone. He said Yu Li, you should sell the stocks in your hand. After 1999, it was either a war or an epidemic. I think you now, do you think it was an occasional one? In fact, it was set, including the epidemic this time, and the Yuan Yunxian was set, so everyone considers the question, what has this meta-universe era brought to us? The bringing is whether you can adapt to this metaverse, and you can survive, and you think according to his lifestyle.
includes the era where you were in the metaverse, and what was the main thing about entering the metaverse? The main reason is that you can get benefits from the meta-universe and get what you need. For example, others think that I can’t exchange virtual currency for modern currency, can I spend it, or can I get in the meta-universe, from the virtual currency world of the universe, what can I get? If you have this idea, or I want to have a relationship with him. It is precisely this that I think is guided by this Jewish organization. You have to do this. So I think 2021 is the first year. The epidemic is constantly escalating, and the world is constantly escalating. These new models are also being introduced to let others walk in their way. This is my feeling.
As for what new impact the metaverse can have on artists, if everyone is thinking about what relationship this metaverse can have with our current artists, I think artists may think, what is in the metaverse and me that can inspire me to create, I think there is no need to think like this, I think artists only have two jobs. One is to feel it, and the other is to express your heart according to your feelings. So what is a good artist? I think it is still a highlight. The first one is your art work. It has never been done in the world before. Secondly, your work is touching enough, and the rest is left to technical and technical personnel to complete.
, we think that we can be at this time to be calm and calm inside. To put it bluntly, whether you should be a metaverse or not, you should still be a metaverse or not, you should still be a creative person, you should still be a creative person. Then you care more about yourself or not, are you an artist? Naturally, he has feelings for you in this era. I am my own understanding. Maybe give you a reference.
Then I will end with this. I wish you all greater development next year, more art works will appear in artistic creation.
Li Tiejun
Brother Yu Li said this very well, because your perspective is indeed to a certain level. We ourselves look at the starting point of this happening from the dimension of artists.
So Teacher Yu Li is his, for example, the metaverse, including the overall situation, which is the nodes of human beings in the continuous changes in this society, and who sets it and what the starting point is. I think he has a certain value, and there is also a certain personal opinion and a certain height.
We have invited Teacher Liu Wen to talk about it.
Wang Qicheng
I think everyone will think this speech this time is very different. He is also an old friend of many years. Today, when I invited him, he posted a photo in the group about his metaverse art work. He held his photo of his little daughter and said that this is his metaverse work. So I think it is not surprising that his conversation today is that he is wandering with artists and this kind of art. He is the founder. He is actually a very complex and rich person from his personal experience. Moreover, he is a life with a cold appearance on his appearance and a fanatic heart. So I think this kind of special thinking today is also very good.
Liu Wen
Hello, I am very happy to be invited by Teacher Wang Qicheng to participate in this Metaverse Art Summit Forum. First of all, let me introduce myself here. I am from Shenzhen and now at Shenzhen University.
I am in art, mainly expressing traditional art, so when I participated in this summit forum today, I heard of the word metaverse in the first two or three months.
When I heard about this metaverse, I actually didn’t know what to say, so the first time I listened to it was to watch Zuckerberg from a short film, including talking about the original universe in a short film. So today, I may still focus on listening to the metaverse that I have talked about by all the teachers, and maintain a learning attitude.
Li Tiejun
I would like to thank Teacher Liu Wen very much. Here, in this year, at the end of this year, we met each other, and I am very happy that you can participate in this forum and have the opportunity to visit you in the future. Regarding the metaverse, we may not be deeply impressed today. This discussion and this exchange, well, in the next step, we may have more profound contact in other fields of art. I wish you a happy New Year. Next, we will invite Teacher Song Junsheng.
Teacher Song Junsheng's art of incense scars has spread in recent years. I see that this is Jingdezhen and Shanghai everywhere recently. As an explorer, I know him very well. He is indeed an explorer who is focused on new art. Therefore, today's thinking about the metaverse,
also hopes that Teacher Junsheng can have a deep understanding of the metaverse.
Song Junsheng
Hello, everyone, hello everyone, hello all the artists, I am now in another place, and now I start speaking,
I think the meta universe is actually a digital.
In this digital age, the entire human being is digitally controlled, and after dominating the mainstream, it forms a closed loop state. This closed loop state makes human beings move towards a single state of thinking. In it, part of the technology controls human beings, forming a closed loop state of thinking. In fact, it makes the entire human beings become a single state of thinking. When this digital state reaches a certain state, it is like a collapse phenomenon in the universe, making the entire digital state form a destructive state. The destructive state is like Liu Cixin's three-body state. It says that the universe state is when human beings enter a closed loop state, it will form a major collapse. This collapse is human beings, and re-examine themselves, examine their own thoughts, and re-establish another higher-level, in a universe space. This is the one's own thoughts and the artist's thoughts, and at the same time, it forms a spiritual space that spreads the same diffuses and then returns to this original state, because this is back to the creative and artistic state of thought, and back to the recording of humanistic thoughts and spiritual state, because the numbers are always virtual, after breaking it, it will form a virtual, disappear in the virtual, and after disappearing, a closed loop is formed.
Artists actually should think more when they stand at this node. According to normal state, artists are transcending this and transcending this idea, because our wild ideas construct a spatial picture between virtual reality, and all forms and states are interpreting a newer world space. In fact, art should be ahead of technology and thought. This is the greater significance of artists in the future and the inspiration is reflected in it.
Art should transcend this time and space, find symbols and symbols that are more in line with your thoughts from this external time and space, and then leave some important clues for the entire era and mankind, so that later people can follow this clue, and study it again, and don’t destroy your thoughts by these digital ages. This is an alert state for artists to give this society.
Regarding this meta universe, it is actually a basic closed-loop state, and this closed-loop state will eventually be broken through, so it is temporary. I think it looks like a grand meta concept, but in fact it is a very small state. I think as an art, we should break through this state and return to a more advanced level. Thank you.
Li Tiejun
Thank you to the military student, very good, I also felt the result of his closed loop state. This may be a sadness for humans! From another perspective, it may also be the result of this conspiracy. Of course, as artists, we have our own position.
Then the next thing is Lao Hei. I like Mr. Lao Hei's works very much, especially recent works, which are very exciting.
Wu Guoquan
I have heard a lot of people talking about these things before. I think the talk is quite interesting, and everyone has their own opinions. This is very good. Unlike what we imagined, most people’s opinions are unified, so that’s trouble.
is now proposing the meta-universe. I have heard of this before, but I have not studied it in depth. Today, Wang Qicheng asked me to hold this meeting. I listened to two books on this aspect in Himalaya, and I roughly understand what it means. The meta-universe term of
has several prerequisites. This premise is that it must be equipment under modern high technology. There must be this thing. Without this thing, we cannot enter. Just like many old men get smartphones, but they don’t know how to use them. When they tell us, they are actually people from two worlds, people from two universes.
In fact, artists and non-artists and others are already in another universe. The universe is the world, which is a different world. In fact, the world we see on the surface seems to be a material world that we can see, but because you are engaged in different things, you are actually in a different universe, just like a good scientist, who is in a scientist, and in this universe, religious people are in a religion, and in this universe.
So what is this metaverse equivalent to? It is equivalent to yesterday when the Internet and smartphones were first released. The situation was the same. This is equivalent to the initial stage of the metaverse. Now it is the stage of fantasy where everyone talks, everyone talks nonsense, everyone plays randomly, and they are fantasy.
The meta-universe may develop like today's smartphones, and it is like that of the Internet.
may also die prematurely, so we artists must have the determination and do not listen to the wind and rain, because each generation has its own affairs, so we should not pull our hair and follow others.
The metaverse is actually a concept of a tribe, which is different tribes. People who can enter the metaverse tribe are actually basically out of reach with us old men, because we basically cannot master modern technology, just like when we treat computers and technology, we are too conservative and cannot do these things, and we cannot enter the metaverse.
Li Tiejun
Thank you Brother Lao Hei. This is very short, but very accurate sentences. What about the next sentence, let Mr. Wei Ye talk to your friends about the topic discussed tonight.
Brother Wei and we haven’t met each other for a long time, but we are also paying attention to each other. Now I heard that we are doing well in the south.
Wei Ye
Hello, everyone, I am having a social engagement outside, so this is quite messy, I have to find a place to calm down and say a few words to you, because the theme of the Meta Universe is still very interested. I have also participated in some activities recently, about this Meta Universe.
OK, so I will say a few words. Two days ago, we were in Shenzhen last week. In Shenzhen, we held an exhibition about the metaverse and in the planning museum. So I sorted out the word original universe and did some homework.
So we are in this society at this time, from the Internet to artificial intelligence, to big data, and to the hotter meta-universe in the future. What do I think of the meta-universe?
The original universe also needs to find its foundation and its roots, because the application of this knowledge is the basis of the meta-universe. We usually recognize and recognize knowledge, but what about the application of knowledge? The application of knowledge by humans has not been fully developed. If the application of knowledge is finally developed, it is the starting point of the true meta-universe.
Is the meta-universe a simple virtual reality, a scene, in virtual reality, how to play the rules or what kind of program?
The meta-universe is a huge system that has opened up the application of knowledge. It uses the power of the application of knowledge to create, connect, connect, connect, create value, connect all things, and create the world. This is a concept. Perhaps the means he used were VR technology, AR technology, as well as technologies such as holographic imaging and projection to improve the entire visual space and visual virtual space for experience and feeling.
I have made several works about the meta-universe published in the group, the first work, which is the knowledge graph, and the second one is the chip image, the chip image, these two graphs are the core pillar of the meta-universe. Only two things can the knowledge and application logic of the original universe be applied.
We may improve our artistic creation a little further. Our creative work and understanding of art may be at the level, and we may improve and upgrade our level. Our art does not rely solely on a single subject, such as aesthetics or philosophy to logically each other. Then the creation process of art itself may be illogical, but after creation, it is logical.
So now we are cognitive and application, what are our applications? It is the span from human culture to civilization, and it may be at the civilization stage. We may be able to solve problems that can be solved with artistic language, which may be more extensive and more.
To organize the text tomorrow, I will say a little more and post the text to the group. Thank you everyone. I will go back to make up for the lesson later and listen to everyone’s words. I will become familiar with all of everyone’s opinions. I may go back and write some text to post it in the group. Thank you, Happy New Year, I wish all my friends a happy New Year.
Li Tiejun
Brother Wei Ye, you said very well. You just participated in this kind of event, right? In addition, I have my own understanding of myself. It is very good. I wish you a happy life in the south. When will you see you? OK, let’s talk about the next one by Brother Jianhua.
Zhang Jianhua
Happy New Year. In fact, everyone is familiar with this circle of friends. I have been in the north and have been in Beijing for many years. I have been old friends for twenty or thirty years. It’s just that I went to study some idle books in this ten years. Tiejun just studied for a doctorate in finance and economics. I can be considered a doctorate. My friend said that since I was studying, I will teach in the south. Because of this, I went to a university in Guangzhou to do one. It is called the Academy of Fine Arts, a director of the Department of Public Art. In fact, it is more realistic and objective. Because in the special epidemic situation, we are also very helpless, so when we were helpless, we talked about this. When we arrived in the South, we can also talk about our feelings in the South. But recently we have been writing a book called "Returning to the South" to meet Wei Yeben. Because of all aspects of the epidemic, there is something else in Dongguan, the South. It is a bit of an epidemic, so we can basically not leave the school even if we are in school.So in addition to completing our own teaching tasks, we are also doing our own. In addition to learning things, we are also drawing our own things. In fact, we are also experiencing this relationship between reality and virtuality. In fact, we are all helpless in the face of reality. There is no way. We must live like this. The only thing we can escape is the topic we are going to discuss today, called the concept of the metaverse.
The concept of the meta-universe is actually a new concept. Because of this special era, with the advancement of technology, the earliest concept, as we all know, originated from the famous novel avalanche in the United States in 1992. He said that it simulates you wearing headphones and sunglasses, then connecting to the terminal, and then performing computer simulations through your virtual identity. In fact, this simulates the real, realistic, and helpless things happening around us. Real virtual worlds one by one, it shows our reality through this virtual way.
We artists have entered such a space intentionally or unintentionally, and there is no way to do so. This era is also quite special. Just like the NFT a while ago, artists are sometimes not only doing their jobs, but also creating a new artistic concept through a special technology that plans the network through the network with the progress of technology. But as artists, we are definitely not limited to art itself. Although this concept is a new life, a rebirth of a classic concept, expanding our realistic concepts of XR or blockchain, cloud computing, or digital twins, this concept is actually only the technical level, but in the end, we artists actually go to our spiritual world through this technology. Of course, this metaverse is not clearly defined by this era. This is a technical means, but it is also favored by many technology giants or government departments. One of the unique concepts of this era is called technical economy, which is that they use this place and use these things to actually create a technical economy concept.
We may not just fall into this technological economy, but we just need to use this technology and economy to solve our spiritual problems. I think this is what artists need to do in the future. No matter how the technology develops, we need to use this technology, especially in this special epidemic situation, we cannot do many such venues or various exhibitions in reality. Due to various obstacles, or various kinds of helplessness in the college, and this technology is just for us and for us. In the current technological era, we can use anything, such as the new metal material that we used to use mud to make sculptures and various materials, a knot of Mr. Sui Jianguo, in Guangzhou 33 Art Space, in fact, he has been trying this new 3D printing technology in recent years. In fact, he is using a concept of technology and his own spirit to solve the problem of our spiritual destination. Maybe in the past two years, although some people are discussing it in the 1990s, in the past two years, especially the epidemic, it suddenly magnified it. Suddenly I felt it was very important, and I suddenly felt that he could create works in this way. I said to Lao Wei two days ago that when they were doing it in Shenzhen, they were thinking about this technology and even using technology to solve our spiritual destination problem. No matter what, I think the most important thing is that no matter what we artists do, no matter whether they are in a real space or in a virtual space.
We must have our spiritual orientation, our spiritual destination, our spiritual sustenance, and our spiritual expression. In fact, in the end, we have our earliest technology, such as the earliest technology for thousands of years, the original technology, including the new technology we have so far. In fact, our era has never been there. What is really ours, and no era has truly left technology, or even science.I am just this generation. Our generation may be about 50 years old. When talking about that, I feel that we are a little lagging behind. The students I teach around me are better at playing this kind of technology than we do, but this is not important. When it is important, I am by their side and I have become very young. I also think this technology is actually becoming more and more useful. It’s just that how we use it is to combine technology and art. No matter how the government uses it, no matter how the scientific giants use it, no matter how they use it as a technological economy or a quantitative economy, the most important thing is that we must clearly show our position as an artist, what we should do, and what artists should do, as before, as always, to do our own art, and to do our spiritual world through this expression.
Even if we encounter confusion and current situation of this epidemic, we can find our own way of expression through the special technology of the metaverse. I think that finding our own warmth is no matter how cold the world is, as long as our hearts are warm, so there is hope. This is the end of the conversation with you. If you come to Guangzhou in the future, you can come to me and sit there. We will also do some things in Guangzhou, make some plans, and link Beijing and Guangzhou, North and South countries. We will do some things. Welcome everyone to Guangzhou to play.
Li Tiejun
Listen to Brother Xuewu, what you think about the current art, including the metaverse in the United States and including you.
Zheng Xuewu
Brother Tiejun, and all old friends, Hello everyone, because I was talking with a mask, I was about to drive the highway to send my daughter back to her university to school. It was very hurrying and there was no special preparation. When I woke up in the morning, I saw the group built by Brother Tiejun. I was already having a lot of chatting. I hurriedly passed them all, probably understood, I participated enthusiastically and actively, and I was very happy. You dragged me back to the art area in the past and felt very friendly.
The first two days ago, we had a very hasty exchange. Well, I'm like this now, it's about your metaverse. For me, I don't pay much attention to a certain topic or topic type. I've been in a state of meditation for many years. It's like this since Sojia Village. But it wasn't very clear from a theoretical perspective. So after I arrived in the United States, I've been doing this for so many years. Especially now I'm very clear about my ideas, and I've stayed away from all kinds of thoughts for a long time, but it's also very interesting. For me, I'll often look at it and think about some friends, especially some good friends, the topics they participated in and studied. I think it's quite meaningful. In the same field, everyone has their own different language methods to exchange artistic ideas with each other. I'm just saying, it's a kind of generated product, which is me. The works include the installation works that I have been working on for many years, the installation works of newspapers, and the use of performance art activities for installation works, and the creation of them from time to time. In this process, I think a lot about this about our human cultural origin, or philosophical, or the original period of religion, whether it is the world view of the world of understanding, I think it is quite interesting. This is my work. I have produced this. This is my first group of works. I have created it for five or six months. There are about five months left to end a ten-month sketch material in May next year. This is the carbon pencil on paper. The creation of this work was completed in ten months. My original works are from the epidemic, and this chaos brings us and the thinking of artists. As a cultural person, as an artist who thinks about philosophy or religion. We all have different understandings, and under such a special time period, the whole world has changed.
What I present, in fact, is what I meditate and see in my so-called meditation process, this world, the world we used to be very familiar with, has now become very strange. All familiar things and all familiar things have become another kind, one thing, one object, and even people's way of thinking have changed. This is what I think about the world during my artistic creation process.
What will the world in the future become? No one knows whether the future will continue to be like now, and will be impacted and the whole world will be unrecognizable in all aspects. There are great possibilities and uncertainties. This is our future, and it is also an artist, as a cultural person, as a philosophical and contemplative person. I am still doing such a creation for this concern about the future world in the next five months. I am very happy that I can't just say this a few words. I will simply talk about my own feelings about my own creation and my artistic thoughts. I hope everyone can communicate and criticize.
Li Tiejun
Brother Xuewu, you are really not talking much about this hurry, but today is very commemorative in the New Year. At the same time, when communicating with these good friends, it is also obvious that it is a concern for this future. In the United States, it is also very meaningful to consider the general trend of culture and art.
Next, let’s invite Brother Xiaoming, Wang Xiaoming is also our old friend. We haven’t seen each other for several years, but I pay attention to every action you take.
Wang Xiaoming
Hello, Mr. Tiejun, Hello, Brother Qicheng.
Hello, friends, and many old friends have not seen each other for a long time.
Today I will discuss the concept of the metaverse. I am actually a bit ignorant. I said that this is very similar to a science fiction film, like an online game, and it has the atmosphere of the times. I think a very good concept is that this concept is actually a natural process.
is very in line with the development of this era and the development of science and technology. Such a development will in fact have such a name and a conceptual positioning. I think this is very interesting.
So I think since this era is developing like this, so the possibility of the development of technology can lead the development of art. We say that the development of art and technology have always been related art. I have always been progressing with the development of this era and technology, or constantly updated. From materials, media means, and various possibilities to give every artist new creations, I think this is very interesting.
A few days ago, I attended this school and happened to have a very important forum on art and technology. UNESCO had such a topic called common, or reimagining our future together on November 10, 2021. Of course, he is thinking about the fields of art education and art design education. The proposed approach to face the challenges of reality and uncertain future, we must think in different ways, learn and create. At the same time, we can also play the role of actors, promote reconception into a reality, and propose the concept that large-scale change and innovation are possible. So what he mentioned in this is actually the development of art, he faces a challenge of reality and the development of science and technology. I think his leadership of artistic and cultural innovation is whether we can now put forward such an idea and update the artist's creativity? I think it may be that every artist may have some development through this.
So in this way, under the concept of the metaverse, facing the future, facing the development of art, thinking, how can we face it, how to do it in the process of moving forward in art, I think this may be a kind of self as an artist. An expression, because the integration of art and technology will inevitably promote culture and art, and this is more diverse and broader development space. At the same time, it may be that for us artists, we may need to strengthen the application of cross-innovation of information science, life science, and media media.
In addition, I would like to mention that I have been doing research on Chinese character art, including Chinese characters and Chinese art. As a kind of Chinese characters and an element, a kind of contemporary creation expression. The important point is how we redesign the Orientalism of the world visual art as a direction and as a core. Our innovation and new model about humanities, art, and so I think how it is reflected in the geographical environment where we are standing, as the original place of Chinese civilization, in such a geographical environment, in which we are in, we will make some of the most cutting-edge things like digital technology and subjective creation. I think in this regard, we may not be separated from us as real people. In the living environment, our educational environment, and the environment in which we create artistic creation, I think there is another important point, that is, the characteristics of an artist themselves are creative expressions of reality and virtuality and imagination.
These are characteristics of artists. Then each of us artists may have self and their own creative directions. I think this is inseparable from it. That is, one's own qualities, one's own cultivation of art, including literature and art, including other philosophy, etc., so I think the meta-universe is a concept. This concept actually provides technology to artists with more creative possibilities, and at the same time hopes that every artist will show their own artistic persistence and creativity at the same time. So I think this persistence may be a possibility of creativity as an artist, or an essence. Creative expression and creation, the presentation of a virtual world of the metaverse, which we just talked about, is that every artist has different opinions, or some artists may have a very in-depth understanding of the concept of this metaverse, or they can express themselves very much. More artists may want to express their own life and the environment they are in. I think these are not contradictory, but just how can we face such thinking under this new concept.
I will just say this briefly. I was thinking just now that it was just a New Year's Eve time to ask you about Happy New Year. I also hope that everyone will have the opportunity to communicate and interact more. At the same time, I also invite everyone to have the opportunity to go to Hangzhou, at the China Academy of Fine Arts, and the birthplace of Huhu pen in Zhejiang. It is called Shanlian. Everyone may know Shanlian Lake Pen. I am Shanlian, the birthplace of Hubi. We have a Chinese Character Art Institute, which has an art space. Everyone is welcome to come here to stay. We have an exhibition hall and accommodation space. There are several rooms to stay. We invite everyone to come here to visit.
Welcome everyone here to do some activities, exhibition activities, or seminars. We are in an ancient water town, which is a very, very beautiful place. Welcome everyone.
invites everyone to stay at Shanlian Chinese Character Art Institute if you have time.
Li Tiejun
Happy New Year, in his explanation, I think he is very rigorous, he is the first, I think his understanding of the real world of the metaverse, and at the same time, as a position like the East, is how to think about this origin. I think it is very meaningful and very organized.
Then what we want to say next, we would like to invite Han Weihua, Brother Weihua to share with you your understanding of artistic creation and the relationship between the original universe and art.
Han Weihua
I am very happy to invite me to participate in this event. Thank you Teacher Tiejun and Qicheng.
My thanks is not empty talk, why? Because during the Old Summer Palace period, there was such an atmosphere in the early Songzhuang period. Painters discussed and exchanged ideas together, which was conducive to creation. Oriental art that shocked the world appeared, which was an oriental version of the contemporaryization of Western art.
Now I want to cut the topic and talk about today's metaverse. When it comes to this metaverse, the first thing I think of in my mind is Lu Jiuyuan, which is the predecessor of Wang Yangming Lu Wangxinxue. Lu Jiuyuan mentioned in the Song Dynasty that my heart is the universe, and the universe is my heart.
From Lu Jiuyuan's point of view, from the perspective of human beings, where am I, what I think the universe is, what the universe is, or what I want to hope for the universe is, what the universe is, in fact, this concept will never fall behind. In the concept of the meta-universe mentioned now, it is even more advanced.
In fact, this meta-universe breaks a kind of control that was before the Information Age, which people could not understand or could not achieve. This is such a kind of control, such a kind of control, such a kind of control, because if people could not do it before, they would pass religion and other forms. Religion is a meaning, a human fantasy. Because it cannot be achieved, it is a way of replacement, and it is to achieve satisfaction by oneself. Although it is to quench thirst, and it is to cover up the ears and steal the bell, I think this is a human need.
The meta-universe is very interesting. In fact, it has always existed, but it is just named after something. Now, Zheng Xuewu just proposed a concept, saying that under the current epidemic, the world is in chaos. It turns out that the environment we are familiar with has undergone great changes, and the world pattern is also changing quietly, which everyone can feel. In fact, I went to Germany in 2007, and I felt this way. The European world was arrogant at that time because they were at the peak. In 2008, this crisis hit them particularly, and China was still there and was still firm, but China still had a long way to go, but many people have seen the possibility of China, his future.
Why do the United States keep staring at China? Why do so many countries just bite China? It is because China makes them afraid, China has reasons to scare them, and China has the strength to scare them. Well, China is preparing. Actually, I was born in 1977. My feelings were very profound. From the information I was a child, I was underdeveloped and lacking. To the present, we are going to lose weight. Not losing weight has become a national sports information, which is overdeveloped and even a kind of overproliferation. If you abandon your mobile phone and become a fashion, but many people can't do it, people who can do it will show a sense of superiority.
So now when talking about the metaverse, I think it is the time, because our artificial intelligence has already led the United States, which is something that makes the Pentagon of the United States very annoyed. It may be a partial transcendence, but partial transcendence cannot make the United States well, this is taken lightly, they cannot tolerate yellow skin surpassing their white skin.
So, well, this is a historical period that moves a circle, just moves a place, and the whole body needs to be affected by it. We are in this historical period, and we have no choice. This is also the Chinese philosophical view, because in this Bagua, in Yin and Yang, it has been changing. It has changed to this time period, and we have to do things in this time period. Before, it may have caused the current result. We are only part of this result, so we must enjoy the various conveniences brought to us by the original universe.
may talk about the metaverse. On the one hand, um, this tool is more convenient and more convenient. On the other hand, it is the human feeling. Feelings are like smart computers. Artificial intelligence allows people with prosthetic limbs to re-owned and have hands. Of course, sex life will also achieve sexual satisfaction through electronic intervention. Ah, this is all, but in fact it's back to the originality of the creature. That's because in ancient times, creatures must have changed from that single sex to this hermaphrodite, and then often change from single sex. You see, there are species of sea rabbits in the sea. If a male dies, the female can transform into a male. I think if humans are doing it, they may return to reformatting.
Although this topic is far from us, I should think that many science fiction films already have this aspect. I think this is a human thought. I think everyone has been thinking about these issues because these problems have also occurred in history. The so-called Chinese people interpret oil as Jiehui as a disaster, and it is a disaster.So when we embrace the universe, when it comes, it is like riding song. Everything is just right, everything should exist, that is, what is urgent to exist, haha.
Good weather, it's very late. I think it's very meaningful to discuss with you on New Year's Eve. I'm very happy with this topic. I hope that Qicheng, Teacher Tiejun, and Teacher Huang Yan should continue to launch such discussions on the Internet in the future. I think it's very good. This is from a small family, through this Internet, we connect everyone together, talk around the fire at night, and return to the Old Summer Palace. The Old Summer Palace is a utopia we share and a glorious moment for our artists. Thank you everyone, Happy New Year's Day.
Li Tiejun
Weihua's passionate speech really made me see a spirit, it has its own attitude.
Next, we will invite Teacher Mei Xinwu.
Mei Xinwu
Hello everyone, I am Mei Xinwu, I am from Chengdu Academy of Fine Arts, and I came to Beijing in 2005.
I also heard from the beginning tonight. This idea of everyone, including the explanation of the metaverse, made me feel like I have a new idea about this concept.
is also very grateful, Brother Li Nan pulled me into this group. First of all, Happy New Year, on this special day, on a New Year's Eve night, everyone feels that I am already incoherent in the concept of the metaverse and don't know how to talk about this.
Actually, my personal opinion is that I think the metaverse may be a marketing now. I agree more with the explanation of the concept of the metaverse by Teacher Yu Li in our group. In fact, I think the most important thing for an artist is to understand himself. Whether it is the metaverse, superuniverse, or parallel universe, I think maybe he may be a new concept. For that innovator, he may think this is a very fun thing. For pessimists, he may be a relatively internal thing. I personally feel that.
Tei Jun, I personally have been doing this on-stage painting this year, and I have tried some digital paintings this year. When I first came into contact with this metaverse, I also had this concept. When they actually came up with the concept of the metaverse, I would show it in my mind that Spielberg's number one player and some things about those technology. I was quite happy at that time, but at this stage, I feel that this is true for artistic creation. I feel that my personal understanding of my own set is still relatively firm, and this concept has been popular now.
So after I heard that everyone was explaining this metaverse. I personally feel that it gave us a lot of space for imagination.
and then do some other things. I think my personal explanation is still a relatively optimistic attitude towards the metaverse. I think it is better to let it go. However, doing art seems to be not very parallel to the concept of the metaverse. I should adapt or let it go. In this current state, stick to my own ideas. This is my personal opinion. Thank you everyone.
Li Tiejun
Teacher Xinwu said it well, no matter what form it is, he has his own attitude. I think as an artist is the first priority. I think it's very simple and good.
Then, please let Teacher Zhang Lingmin talk about it next.
Zhang Lingmin
Hello everyone, I am Zhang Lingmin. This time has entered 2022. Here I would like to congratulate all teachers and dear artists for auspicious New Year. I have been in the technology and art industry for more than 20 years in the early days. Here I will talk about some of my personal views on the metaverse.
As we all know, 2021 is the first year of the development of the metaverse. If any company and product stick to it, the company will usher in high attention and capital pursuit.Judging from the competition among major companies to acquire VR and other startups, the Metaverse will become the upgrade and future of the development of the Internet and Internet of Things industries, and is a breakthrough and key for leading companies to compete for industry status.
Why is the meta universe so popular? Suddenly it became a delicious bun for major industries!
The meta universe is the result of market demand orientation. First of all, due to the impact of the epidemic and the slowdown in global integration trends in 2019, countries have been complacent. Everyone knows that the current global population mobility is slowing down across the country, and the offline economy is sluggish, and the metaverse is the direction. In addition, capital needs to flow in pursuit of profit, and national and regional economies need to be driven. Secondly, people's pursuit of immersive entertainment consumption and the market demand for upgrading game products is the emergence of the meta-universe concept and creates opportunities for development. As people pursue highly immersive experiences continue to upgrade, the demand for life and entertainment experiences, travel experiences, work experiences and other related experience products is getting higher and higher, and ordinary-level experiences can no longer meet the needs of consumers. After years of rapid development of traditional game products, film and television works, and art works, market demand faces a large expansion bottleneck. Product forms, interactive entertainment methods, and business models need to be upgraded and iterated. The birth of the concept of the metaverse is the result of the joint role of consumer demand and market demand.
The meta-universe is the result of the development of AI intelligent technology, and it is also the integration of art and technology in zero world. The advancement of science and technology is the basic support for promoting the concept of the metaverse, and artistic creativity is the soul of the metaverse. The early concept of metaverse appeared in the anime and movie circles. Many teachers mentioned the Marvel Universe just now, including the Matrix, including the anime IP and Pikachu. In recent years, global enterprises have continuously innovated and made breakthroughs in the fields of VR, MR, and AI technologies, especially smart contracts based on blockchain technology, digital evidence storage and rights confirmation and transactions. These advances have invisibly promoted the arrival of the metacosmic era. (To put it simply, smart contracts are electronic contracts, blockchain digital evidence confirmation, and transaction resolution is the traceability of digital property rights and copyrights.) Speaking of this, we need to point out NFTs. The popular NFTs during this period are also a product produced in this environment. For time reasons, we will not describe it here. Due to the maturity of digital evidence confirmation and transactions of blockchain technology, the currency circle is the demand of the Bitcoin circle and the financial investment industry. A large amount of funds have been introduced into the art market, and art has become a leek land. I personally understand that the essence of an artist is creation, and creating good content is the top priority.
The meta-universe is the expected result of economic development. The meta-universe is a digital twin, and from a commercial perspective, it is a traditional business ecosystem, a parallel universe in the digital world. Through the follow-up investment of major companies in the Metaverse, it can be seen that everyone has high expectations for the Metaverse. ByteDance and Tencent are fiercely competing for birdies, which is enough to illustrate its development prospects. The emergence of the metaverse can change the competitive landscape of existing social platforms and the way people socialize. For example, WeChat, Douyin, and Kuaishou, the most popular social tools at present will face huge changes. In the future, whether it is social or office, it will definitely be realized in specific digital scenarios, and it will be more immersive in the virtual world to face communication and office. At present, the metaverse has become the core tool and main direction for some leading companies to maintain their industry leadership.
Yuan Universe is also another new dividend after the upgrade of the Internet and the Internet of Things, with broad development prospects and strategic opportunities.
What impact will the meta-universe have on the development of contemporary art or trendy art
The rise of the meta-universe has pointed out a certain development direction and commercial integration for contemporary trendy art. The concept of the metaverse is actually an art form of immersive experience. It integrates with the development of immersive technology to promote development. Its essence is business, a digital industry, and for artists it is the assetization of art works, that is, copyright. Artists are the main body of the creation of artworks, whether it is 3D art on-stage art, graphic art, or installation art. It is one of the links to the metaverse. What is certain is that the rapid development of the metaverse has a positive driving effect on the entire new art and art industry, and is a bonus for artists.I think this is an era of dividends of artistic creation, an era of imagination and creative economy. Artists with conditions can seize this artistic trend, use the concept development of the metaverse, integrate personal art forms, and promote the rapid iteration of their own art and the growth of the art business ecology.
In general, the existing Meta Meta Universe is a virtual platform integrated with various immersive technology systems, and the core is the digital business ecosystem. It is a more advanced application that integrates the development of the Internet and the Internet of Things. It is the inevitability of VR, MR and AI technologies to accumulate to quantitative change to qualitative change, satisfying the development of capital and social and economics. The maturity of smart contracts and blockchain technology in recent years has allowed art and technology to have a closer intersection and integration, and has given art a deeper financial attribute NFT. So what we artists need to pay attention to is not the broad metaverse, but the art IP metaverse in subdivided fields. (The core is the digital assetization of art)
Dear teachers, my speech is over. Thank you again for the invitation and teachers Wang Qicheng, Li Tiejun and Li Nan. I wish you all a happy New Year in 2022 and a blessing.
Li Tiejun
Teacher Zhang's speech was very well done, and it was very in-depth, and it also developed a general grasp of several aspects. I think this is both objective and real, and at the same time, and I also communicated with you the clarity of the connection between the original universe and art. I think it is very accurate.
Please share with you Teacher Li Nan.
Li Nan
Hello everyone, I am Li Nan, I have been engaged in artistic creation in Songzhuang for more than ten years and have also planned some exhibition activities.
Thanks to Mr. Li Tiejun, Mr. Wang Qicheng for his invitation. It is a great honor to be able to participate in this forum on the Metaverse.
is already 2022. I wish you all a happy New Year and good luck. I wish you all to make more wonderful works in art.
I think the metaverse is not a new concept, but why it was hyped at this time should be in line with the scientific and technological progress and development of society! Due to the impact of the epidemic, people around the world may have more time to work online. The development of technology has reached its current level, so it is in line with people's original imagination of the metaverse. Current technology can slowly satisfy this fantasy of the metaverse, with the rapid progress of quantum technology, and the development of biotechnology is becoming more and more advanced, and biochips are also going to be produced, AI technology, so the development of this society is very rapid. After these conditions are met, it will produce a communication between the virtual world and the real world. There are more technologies to achieve in the virtual world, allowing people to establish different orders and rules of the game in the virtual world, and more importantly, generate economic benefits, so it is more in line with a commercial operation, and the exploration of this universe by people in reality.
So I think with the rapid development of this technology in the future, the kind of imaginative technology that everyone imagines will gradually become realization. Therefore, the hype of this meta-universe concept in this era is also the result of the development of technology, and secondly, it is also the demand for business.
Speaking of this, it is the second point. I think it may be that some interest groups will hype this concept, and then there will be the makers of their game rules to use this concept to achieve their business purpose.
But of course, not denying that the development of this society and the emergence of new things will ultimately have an impact on us humans. What impact does return to our artists have on us artists? The artist needs to feel it by himself, experience this new thing by himself, and then how to transform it into his own artistic creation. He should say that it is also an absorbable place for us.
I think art ultimately will not only be able to develop to the extent that this society develops, but also to observe this society from an artistic perspective, but to eventually return to some problems of human beings. Whether it is the metaverse, the virtual world, or the real world, it will eventually return to human beings, because all the problems of us human beings need to be experienced by our artists, and then expressed in the art way.
This is some of my shallow understanding. I am very happy to know everyone. I wish you good health here. The future communication may be that there will be more and more opportunities for online communication. Now the whole world is vigorously developing the online model. It is estimated that this epidemic may affect all walks of life and all business models for many years, and the entire business model has changed. Therefore, this is an inevitable result of the current stage of the development of an era.
My speech ends, thank you everyone.
Li Tiejun
Li Nan, not only works in art, in recent years, he has planned many art exhibitions, and is also a young and promising artist and curator with his own ideas. So I hope we will cooperate more in the future. Then I will say a few words in the order.
The emergence of any problem about this is the emergence of this new thing. It has this rule, and everyone has seen this rule. We saw this Internet network at a very early age, and finally Bitcoin to NFT. This relationship must have its own reasons.
Just now said that Teacher Yu Li said that there may be some larger interest groups, some of the gameplay he set, or some of his rules, of course, these are looking at this issue from a society perspective, and it is also a kind of experience that is very valuable.
I think I am the same. That is to say, the rebirth of these problems is its reality, thinking about its existence, its value, and its relationship with us, is it a trap set by others or a conspiracy? This is an inevitable, that is, a kind of inertia in thinking, but this inertia or a kind of thinking logic, I think it is a normal phenomenon.
I'm considering whether it is a commercial conspiracy, and whether it is an internal monopoly. Such a conspiracy is right? Then I am also considering this issue. Of course, from all angles, it must be human progress. From this human progress after being conscious, it will develop and work hard to achieve a state of freedom. Of course, there are also many such concerns here at this time. It is also a grasp of humanity's degree. He cannot escape the human mindset set in the state of thinking, including humanistic culture. Now, what the metaverse is said to be, is what the earliest human beings need, which is actually a game.
means that it is a result of a game, but now, it can be seen that there is such a category of copying games. What Teacher Zhang just said is from a business perspective, right? From the current government, it is all using the concept of the metaverse, what he wants to accomplish. As an artist, it is in this period, how do we understand the emergence of the metaverse and the ultimate result of the metaverse. We need to consider that, as our ontology and artists, from the moment we look at it, we should recognize our role before we enter a game of the metaverse.
So I am also very worried. It can be said that from another perspective, I also think that the emergence of this metaverse is indeed the disappearance of this universe, and another universe may have emerged. This is also its rule. I think this human being has taken a step forward in the direction of demise, which is also my idea.I think my generation or me, I feel that past experiences, including everything in the past, are meaningless, right? For example, our moral concepts? What is the meaning of life, what are the big goals, everything may become a past tense or a kind of garbage, so reconstruction is a new reality of the universe, which means that after you enter this game, he has a new way of playing, and you must go to this way of playing. So, I do have a fear in my heart. Of course, I may be a consideration that exceeds the artist, or an unnecessary thing. If we adhere to a principle, it means that as the teacher mentioned earlier, one is to be an artist, one is perception, and the other is to use our own artistic language to express our understanding. This is not complicated, and maybe it is a very simple thing.
was when the meta-universe was born, and it also made me think that this opportunity and this crisis coexist. Although there is a kind of fear, the reason for this fear is caused by this great era, such as the epidemic, including the current international situation, and the possibility of this war will have this impact in this mind. The emergence of the metaverse is a result of technological progress or a conspiracy of the beneficial groups that may arise in this state of epidemic situation, which is possible. These things are indeed an individual, that is, we artists, and their feelings and thoughts are real, because today we are communicating, so we are telling our friends from the bottom of our hearts about our own feelings. But that is, after the emergence of this new thing, we are also aware of ourselves in the past. This kind of touch, perhaps because of these things, we really have a new understanding of art and social life. That is to say, in this period, it depends on how we grasp this opportunity. That is, as Teacher Zhang said just now, the grasp of new art, so we can hear it everywhere we go. It is an immersive experience. This experience and that experience are actually in the process of implementing it. If it is in this NFT and this is its means of implementation, it can only be completed in that scenario and accomplish the goal you want to achieve. Therefore, the digital economy, including what is produced during this period of time, is also produced, but it is very important to have any impact on us. So if there is no impact, we are not in it, and we go our own path, it is not important at all. We only know that this is just a phenomenon we see now. So during this period, I also consider a plan for the future. From this past experience to the special epidemic stage, some of the issues I have thought about are really a kind of fear when the epidemic comes. This thinking about life, in this period of time, the worry about the future, after the metaverse is born, how to use this period of time, because life is limited after all, at most 30 years of possibility is given. So I think this plan for the future is the best in this period of time. I still have some motivation, and I still think it is an opportunity.
wishes you a New Year to everyone, so I won’t say more. It’s not that I don’t want to say more, I really want to say more. Today, I am fortunate to communicate with my friends here and also host this forum. I feel very happy and lucky. I also wish my friends happiness and health in 2022. Now let’s invite Mr. Wang Qicheng, the curator of this forum, to introduce it to you.
Song Junsheng
The broad definition of the universe is the general term for all things, the unity of time and space.
The narrow definition of the universe is the space and matter outside the earth's atmosphere.
Science and society form a division, society forms an opposition to nature, and society blocks the development of civilization. For the first time in history, human civilization and human beings themselves are opposed to each other. What people face is just to appreciate the performance brought by the cutting-edge technology mastered by humans!
The universe at this moment is like a giant eye, the white Milky Way covered by light is the pupils narrowed into slits in the eyes, staring at all human beings, judging human ignorance condescendingly.
Wang Qicheng
OK, so first of all, thank you very much for being the academic host of our forum this time. I heard it from beginning to end. This is indeed very perfect. I also thank each of us for participating in this New Year’s Eve invitational exhibition forum. The speeches of each of our artists are wonderful, and from their own different angles, from their own creative experience, life experience, and meta-universe art have made this multi-angle, multi-level and comprehensive interpretation. Some teachers have done a very deep homework and can hear a very wonderful interpretation of the meta-universe.
, and I also thank our teacher Li Nan for not only being handsome, but also being a curator. She is also a very outstanding artist. This time I am honored to invite Mr. Li Nan as the secretary-general of our event.
Regarding the meta-universe, I think this time we proposed it as an art summit forum for the New Year. One of our discussions is because of the meta-universe. In fact, it is actually the origin of the world and everything. So the vocabulary itself is the science fiction novel born in 1992, called avalanche. He proposed at that time that this metaverse is actually a virtual world parallel to reality. In this virtual world, it means that there is a strong sense of immersion. At the same time, in this world, you can transform into anyone you want to be, and you can also do whatever you want to do.
The most important thing is that it can not only gain sensory enjoyment, but also a very psychologically real experience. Therefore, since its birth, the concept of the original universe was originally VR technology and the immersive experience of VR. This attracted a lot of capital to pursue it, but what is its significance to us artists? Because I have been conducting some educational explorations of the body, mind and soul in the past two years. In fact, from the perspective of the original universe itself, it is actually a description of the truth world. It is the origin of the world and all things. It is actually the state of running-in. It is the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva mentioned in the beginning of the Heart Sutra, and the deep Prajna Paramita, which is to see that the five aggregates are empty, overcome all sufferings, and to see that the five aggregates are empty, because the Buddha and the Buddha are all light and shadow.
So in fact, when it comes to the creation of our artists, we have works, divine works and elegant works. Every artist actually has different creative standards and artistic realms. The entire work he created is completely different, such as what kind of work you will create in what kind of realm you will create. Then, in this realm of the metaverse and you are just like this in this world, mastering some creative skills. This is completely different, because in the metaverse, you can become such a creator of another world, because in another parallel world, you can become any person. In fact, from a psychological point of view, we are the real self and the false self, and the false self is created by the unparalleled true self.
She is also very similar to our artists in creation. You see, when we are creating, we are a blank canvas, and we can transform into any such character in it. In fact, every character on our drawing board, even a movie we shoot, or even a picture we describe in poetry, a TV series and movie we shoot, is if we are directors, if we actually dominate the world, it is not that we are equivalent to a Jin Yong. We are writing about Guo Jing and Yang Guo, right? All the characters here are created by me. In fact, I think the value of this metaverse to each of us, especially artists, is actually a technical need, with such high support for such a technology, and digital technology.
So from the perspective of meta-universe art itself, I think it is our artists who are creating. Although it is the state of a meta-universe from ancient times to the present, it is just that if we artists are talking about the dimension of creation, which is the state of your creation, you are actually creating a virtual space, and it is very immersive. If you write novels, if you are a novelist who writes novels, are you actually experiencing the characters in this immersive way, and you are actually experiencing them, and you are the creator in your novel. You want to draw a picture of the characters you paint and the landscapes you paint, right? Aren’t that all you created? It is all a projection, you are that entity, you are this element, you are the origin of the world, right? This is the running-in today, which is the realm of infinity in N-dimensional and N-region. You are projecting all your artistic works from the perspective of a projection element, and your works are from the artist's body.
That's just to say from an artistic perspective, I think the metaverse is built with such technology as support. We artists may have another possibility in the future when they create, that is, we can use digital technology. Just like when we spoke today, I felt it was a bit illusory, because we did not open too many places tonight, because we only opened more than 20 artists. Among these 20 artists, there are many from all over the world, including the United States, Xiamen, and Beijing, and there are more than a dozen places across the country. However, in such a WeChat circle, in the Moments, and in the WeChat circle, everyone felt very friendly. Although they didn't even see this image or face, everyone felt very friendly.
In fact, this part is completed by our imagination. I think this metaverse actually has the inspiration to our artists and maximized improvement. Our artists are imagining this extreme in this aspect. Then we are actually the creator of each of our works, and in fact it is the universe parallel to our real world. From the perspective of Buddhism, the real world is illusory. Because the source of projection is internal, the Buddha has the saying that Buddha is called the Buddha's view of the world. Connecting light and shadow is some worlds he sees. In fact, they are all frequencies and energy. What he sees is not the real house, the real person, cow, horse, and various items, and the frequency he sees. What about these frequencies of
? Then enter our brain, through our vision, through our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, color, sound, smell, taste, touch, and method, and then interpreted as the eye world, which is some of the ear worlds you see, right? Everything you hear, some of the eyes, ears, noses, and eyes, ears, noses, etc., right? Everything you smell on your nose is what you see, hear, smell, taste, touch. He interprets it as all things, but after the Buddha sees it, it sees that the five aggregates are empty.He saw that he knew that this was not false, it was not real, it was not real, so I think artists, when we create, must reach such a dimension in order to truly make a breakthrough, and break through the limitations of this work.
So now this time has already pointed to this almost two o'clock. Let's look at 01:38, 01:38, and it's really time to achieve the New Year's Eve. It turned out that the plan was to end at midnight, but this obviously cannot be over. I think if we asked everyone to chat today, it would probably be until dawn, if we were face to face. So I think today is also a very successful forum. With such enthusiastic support and participation from my friends, I feel very kind and warm.
I also regard our activity as a behavior and a performance art work. In such a virtual space, our people are very close to each other. The feeling between our artists and artists is very real. Whether they are old friends and new friends, I think they all feel like they have a long separation and reunion. But we don’t have wine now. If we have wine, everyone may be drunk. So today, our third Chinese Contemporary Art, the day of 2022 is also very good. Three and two are a very lucky number. The third Chinese Contemporary Art New Year’s Eve Invitational Exhibition and the Metaverse Art Summit Forum.
In terms of everyone's support, it should be a complete success today. I saw that this brother Tiejun was also greeting Wenwu. Wenwu is the executive chairman of our Asian Art Expo and our good friend. He is now in France, and he is also observing this today. I originally wanted him to speak out, but in the end, as an international observer, I didn't force him anymore.
There is another guest today, our teacher Huang Yan, who is in another virtual space because he is a artist who rarely does not have WeChat now. Then Mr. Huang Yan is also a very outstanding artist, a curator, and an academic host in the first and second sessions of our two worlds. Today we couldn't contact each other by phone, and then he didn't have WeChat, so in the end I talked about this through his son, and finally said that if I spoke today, it would be called breathing.
I think it is also very good. Metauniverse art, isn’t it breathing? Between the breath, between the yin and the yang, between the life and the death, it is a thought. No matter what conspiracy theory or conspiracy theory, I think all our understanding of the metaverse is just a cognition, because at the highest level, only our consciousness exists. In other words, if we really say that when artists create at a higher level, they take the universe as a real life state, and need to adjust to this consciousness dominance, that is, everything you realize does not exist, and your consciousness is the only truth.
Our 2020 3rd China Contemporary Art New Year's Eve Invitational Exhibition and Metaverse Art Summit Forum were successfully completed with everyone's enthusiastic support! I wish you all a happy New Year, a happy family, all the best, goodbye
