Ziquan Wang currently lives and works in Shanghai. He graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts (China) with a B.A. degree in sculpture in 2017 and from the Royal College of Art with an M.A. degree in 2019. Wang’s practice is rooted in his unique observation and understanding of the Internet and the virtual world, exploring the threshold values between virtuality and reality, and using 3D software to imitate the absurdity in the physical world. By using narrative computer images, he copies and pastes between virtual and real spaces.

王梓全在上海没顶画廊的个展“空气动物”延续了他此前对虚拟和现实之间往复问题的关注,但在媒介上做出了很大调整。作为这次展览的核心组成部分,穿越机(FPV, first-person view drone),即第一视角竞速无人机,在搭建的管道中穿梭飞行。管道内部,艺术家配置了不同“材料”,包括两名表演者,并借助无人机上摄像头实时传输的信号,把机器整个飞行过程的“主观视觉”展示出来。本文中,王梓全分享了他的创作体会,同时讨论了艺术的材料性、主客关系、内外关系,以及偶然性。
