Appreciation towards Worcester Art Museum for providing the following description.

这个夏天，生活在纽约的台湾艺术家Shih Chieh Huang将在Worcester Art Museum展出他迄今为止最有代入感的装置艺术作品。这些装置采用当代工业环境中的常见材料如塑料，LED灯和量产的电脑风扇等打造而成。

Taiwan-born, New York-based artist Shih Chieh Huang installs his newest, most ambitious immersive environment to date at the Worcester Art Museum (WAM) this summer. Kinetic sculpture and light installation draws on the industrial materials of today, such as mass- produced computer cooling fans, LED lights, and plastics

“Reusable Universes”展现了Huang对科技，有机的形式与过程，和利用当代生活材料将世俗化的物体转变成新奇复杂的动感发光雕塑的狂热与痴迷。此次在WAM博物馆，Huang带来了由超过100个活动元件打造的巨型装置雕塑作品。该系列装置将比以往任何装置作品都更为巨大，利用18英尺高的展陈空间，Huang将为参观者带来全然不同的展览体验。这些装置作品以人们熟悉的生物形态，和最常使用的生活物品为元件构成。从随风舞动的超薄塑料到缓慢闪烁的强光，对这些常见材料的利用方式展现了艺术家对它们的情感反映。

Reusable Universes combines Huang’s longstanding fascination with technology, organic forms and processes, and the materials of modern life to transform mundane manufactured objects into novel and remarkably complex light and kinetic sculptures. For his exhibition at WAM, developed by Assistant Curator of Asian Art Vivian Li, Huang creates a grand sculptural installation consisting of over one hundred various-sized moving elements. Exploiting the gallery’s 18-foot ceilings, Huang’s installation will be more vertical than his previous works, making use of the height to suspend the different elements. Constructed of familiar biomorphic forms and repurposed, widely- available objects, the sculptures reflect the artist’s intense exploration into the emotional responses everyday materials can elicit—from the movement of a thin, windblown piece of plastic to the slow blinking of a bright light.

“此次Reusable Universes的展出，延续了以当代艺术为主的博物馆主题，这些来自世界的艺术家作品，与WAM有着各方面的联系。他们在这里的展出也彰显了我们博物馆的文化和传统。”WAM博物馆负责人Jon L. Seydl说道。“该作品将艺术与科技无缝衔接，与我们城市丰富的创新与发明遗产产生共鸣。”

“With Reusable Universes, we continue an approach to contemporary art that has become a hallmark of our Museum—showcasing emerging international artists, whose works connect to other aspects of the WAM collection and speak to Worcester’s culture and traditions,” said Jon L. Seydl, director of curatorial affairs. “This installation, which ingeniously and seamlessly bridges art and technology, resonates with our city’s rich legacy of innovation and invention.”

同1920年代和1930年代的艺术家一样，Shih Chieh Huang的作品见证了美国重工业的衰落，以及二十世纪末科技产业的快速发展所带来的人们生活的巨大改变。这一时期的艺术家们描绘出了全新的美国工业景观。他们一方面接受传统视觉艺术的训练，另一方面由受到新兴的数字艺术影响。Huang的系列作品激起了观察者对科技迅速改变生活的探讨。他用一系列高科技组件组装成低技术含量的庞大艺术作品，并以此唤起人们对科技兴起时期的好奇心，启发来访者对相似实践和建造的再探讨。

Like the artists of the 1920s and 1930s, who were documenting the new industrial landscape of America, Shih Chieh Huang’s work bears witness to the decline of heavy industry in the U.S. and the acceleration of the technology industry into people’s everyday lives globally in the late 20th century. An artist trained in both the traditional visual arts and the emerging field of digital art, Huang’s work provokes the viewer to consider society’s rapidly changing relationship with technology: by constructing grand works of “low-tech” art made from high-tech parts that are intentionally built to look unfinished, Huang endeavors to recapture the curiosity and wonder in early technology that will inspire visitors to likewise experiment and build anew.
