Sensing Nature
If someone asks you about the distance between you and nature,
would you measure it with your heart or with a ruler?
Or do you feel that you’re surely part of nature and already living in it?
How do you embrace and love nature as a city dweller?
Do our lives take priority over those of butterflies, bees, goats, and black bears?
If the city indeed evolves towards intelligence and civilization,
why does the civilized life render people desperately lonely and isolated?
Someday an emotional connection will be developed between the robot and me,
which will bring my dead pet back to life.
Can we manufacture nature?

The exhibition invites the artists to address the issues concerning ecological cycle, environmental sustainability, landscape reminiscence, urban memory, and social media through their works in which the rheological nature of this place and its history find expression. Besides, this exhibition acts in tandem with the “Artists’ Special Exhibition at the 435 Art Zone,” aiming to open up broad, far-reaching aesthetic horizons for the soon to be inaugurated New Taipei City Art Museum to offer diverse art experiences.
