As we all know, space exploration becomes a more and more popular topic during these days. Human beings are curious about outer space all the times. From of old, people are interested in outer space. Is there and aliens? Is there any other habitable planets in the universe? All these questions promote the progress of space exploration.
Since the modern times, space exploration become more and more important, it be used for geopolitical rivalries among countries. The early area of space exploration was driven by ‘Space Race’ between the Soviet Union and the United States. They use it as a proxy competition during the Cold War. My work is a two people's ring. The piece use a planet which caught by two aviation mechanical arms to show the competition among countries. I use copper as material and burned the hole piece to show space exploration competition is actullary a hidden war among countries in the modern time. 众所周知,空间探索在当今已经成为一个越来越流行的课题。人类对太空总是充满好奇。 自古以来,人们就对外太空充满好奇,外星人存在么?宇宙还存在其他的宜居星球么。所有的这些问题与好奇都促进了人们对于宇宙空间进一步探索的进程。 现代以来,太空探索变得越发的重要,他成为了国家之间政治竞争的媒介。早期对于太空探索的推动是由美国和苏联的‘太空竞赛’发起的。冷战期前,他们将太空探索作为竞争的替代品。 对于这一课题的探索,我创作了一个‘双人戒指’。这件作品的主体是一个被两只机械手抓住争夺的星球,用来表现国家之间的竞争。这件作品采用紫铜作为材料,并以用火灼烧的方式做了表面效果,来展现国家之间对于太空探索的竞争其实是当代的一场隐性战争。 |
