MIND - BEATING

Mind means thinking and consciousness in the psychological sense, and is the same as brains, which is a huge central hub for receiving and classifying information. The purpose of the exhibition is to regard the mind as a container, and extend to thinking system, and explore the relationship between visual creation and multi-dimensional world through heart, the common information reception organ of human kinds and its beating frequency. Though the words such as globalization and trans-boundary etc. have been repeatedly used, we shall still analyze the latest works and the thoughts of the creators from similar perspectives before we find more suitable words.
