The 6th Documentary Exhibition of Fine Arts, with Professor Liu Xuguang from Beijing Film Academy as the curator, will focus on new media art. It will not only present the integrated development and co-creation of art and technology in the digital age but showcase the fruitful results of the in-depth development of new media art over the past two decades. With the theme "Returning to Void and Dimension", the exhibition aims to present the viewers with a multidimensional, open landscape of artistic perception and creative contemplation through the visual design of cyclical fields and multi-dimensional spaces. Featuring four modules—Space/Field, Light and Shadow/Media, Form/Crossover, and Language/Dialogue, this exhibition will showcase the artworks of over 100 artists at the Hubei Museum of Art and the Fine Arts Literature Art Center. Through the deliberate juxtaposition of new media and traditional art, engaging interplay between art and technology, and presentation of more possibilities arising from the interaction between the past and the future, the exhibition will fully embody the visual thinking and solid practice of the curatorial team and artists, who, through their collective wisdom, lead the aesthetic trends in the new era based on diversified innovation.
