The multimedia exhibition "Silhouette of the sea" aims to outline the understanding of the ocean by exploring the ocean. All life begins in the ocean. The "Silhouette of the sea" allows us to return to the ocean, immerse ourselves in it, and arouse our new understanding and understanding of the ocean.

Centering on the theme of "Silhouette of the sea", the exhibition breaks the single form of real image recording and USES more media to express the richness of the sea. The exhibition hall layout follows the human sensory nature, starting from the vision, then integrates the hearing and touch, and finally returns to the visual window to complete the whole exhibition process.

 

Looking for the "Silhouette of the sea" -- the ten thousand phases of the ocean from a virtual perspective

Participating artists involved in art device, immersive audio and interactive device, colorful landscape and full CG art film device, such as performance topics include human consumption deconstructed by the sea, sea level falling process of the virtual, digital waves and tides of change, etc., will be in the ocean of imagination and emotion recognition in the form of digital device and interpretation and interpretation.

Liu zhenchen, a French artist who once exhibited a large-scale installation "ice monument" in the square in front of Paris city hall, created a new Marine theme art installation -- "deep blue kaleidoscope series" for this exhibition. This kaleidoscope, composed of 300 lightboxes, looks like human consumption. It is deconstructed and reorganized by the sea, as if it forms a gorgeous picture at the bottom of the sea, and reflects the invasion of human beings to the sea.

Among the thousands of creatures beneath the deep blue is a glass squid with a tunic that looks like a polka dance dress. The beautiful round spots on the tunic give the squid a cartoonish look, adding a touch of color to the serene depths of the ocean.

Volume is a comprehensive CG experimental art film installation about nature, physics, art, and love, inspired by squid by Russian moving image artist Maxim Zhestkov. The film USES pressure and natural forces to control the movement of 2 billion particles to express the relationship between people in society and explore the juxtaposition of emotions and natural laws.

Touching the "Silhouette of the sea" -- the urban deep blue brought by the real image

In addition to the sea world created by multimedia artists, "the silhouette of the sea" also brings a number of authentic images of the ocean and USES a uniquely designed space to show the space, creatures and natural forces beneath the sea level. Create an opportunity for the audience to dive into the deep blue in the city. The diving process is completed by visual and tactile sense, which arouses people's endless imagination of the sea world.

These works come from both professional diving photographers at home and abroad and ordinary divers. Whether it's underwater icebergs, giant underwater objects, magnificent creatures, and fish, or just gazing at the sea, these images captured from different areas of the ocean reflect the contradictory and harmonious relationship between humans and the ocean. From these records, people can get fragments of information about the ocean, which can be combined into a self-knowledge "Silhouette of the sea".
