New Media Exhibition | 壳中灵魂-电影特效艺术展

Hello Steemians, today I went to a gallery exhibition in Moganshan Road, Shanghai. The theme is on Cyberpunk culture. Cyberpunk movies concerning contradiction among artificial intelligence, hacker and corporations are becoming more and more common these days. Popularity of this genre reflects our panic and pessimism of an unknown future. All of them try to address basic philosophy questions like: Who are we? Where are we from? Where is the destination?

Under the pressure of scientific advancement, our souls are confused of their existence. Could we be replaced by technology? The unsettled sentiment makes these Cyberpunk movies even more widespread. As a result, the creators of Elite Creature Collectibles(ECC)-- Steven Wang, Eddie Yang and Ikeada Akihito --- made the sophisticated character models to hold this exhibition.

Fantasy creatures that derived from both reality and imagination are created by sculptor David Zhou. Even though made of materials, their physical body is filled with ingenuity and painstaking care, thus resonate with our heart beat when seeing them. （All pictures are taken by myself, granted by exhibitors.）

Steemians，大家好，今天我去了上海莫干山路的一家现代艺术馆，里面正在进行赛伯朋克电影特效艺术感，于是我进去参观了一下。围绕人工智能，黑客和人类社会矛盾的Cyberpunk电影越来越多。随着“人工智能”威胁论的展开，人们对于灵魂的的归属问题更加困惑。这种不安的情绪使得cyberpunk在大众文化中脱颖而出。这次展览的模型和影视形象正是这种文化的产物,来源于ECC的创始人：全球三大特效师之一Steven Wang, 好莱坞一线特效艺术家Eddie Yang 以及日本一线造型设计师 Ikeda Akihto.奇幻生物系列则是由PP漫游记起源系列作家周世懿先生创作，精致的载体虽然是材料所铸，却倾注了艺术家的心血和灵气，与我们的内心产生共鸣。所有照片都是征得展览举办方工作人员同意后拍摄，希望大家喜欢。
