In 2015, the “Future of Today: Imaginary Future” organized by Today Art Museum (TAM) was initially held and received very high attention. In December 2017, based on the “.zip” theme, the “Future of Today” project developed the thinking of arts by means of format” and brought it to 3LD Art & Technology Center, New York. This time, it will “unzip” another city in China, Chengdu. The Exhibition arranged different artists’ works together in order, by which the different expression forms of arts in different time and space concepts enlightened people’s thinking on existence and future. The nine immersive works of this exhibition created by James Cao, Feng Hao, Gan Jian, Guo Ruiwen, Hong Qile etc., each with a different theme, have been “zipped” together, and then “unzipped” into a richly imaginative field of collective consciousness.
The exhibition is committed to developing the best experimental hotbed that carries future artistic ideas, with a view to expanding the audience’s experience in physical and dimensional spaces through different types of cross-media artworks, and inspiring them to think about the times and development to the full extent. In the meantime, the exhibition has also enhanced the exposure of Chinese young artists and their exchanges on the global stage, and uplifted the influence of China’s new media art in the international community.
