我们所见的世界可靠吗？

Is the world we see reliable?

人类视觉系统只有3种视锥细胞，面对万物，犹如色盲；而鸟类独特的视觉系统，拥有4种视锥细胞，能辨别更多色彩；很多昆虫类拥有复眼，复眼是一种由不定数量的小眼组成，一般呈六角形。例如蜻蜓复眼的数目由1至3万个不等，每一小眼都是一架小型照相机, 周围的物体不断被摄入形成图象，可以观测6米以内的事物。《波普星》的这件装置来自于艺术家对一种超验的视觉系统的渴望。

The human visual system has only three types of cones, so we are like colour blindness when we look at the world, compared with other creatures; While the unique visual system of bird contains four types of cones that allow them to distinguish a lot more colour; Many insects have compound eyes. It consists of a variable number of ommatidia, which is generally hexagonal. For example, the compound eyes of dragonflies consist of 10,000 to 30,000 ommatidia, and each ommatidium is a small camera that keeps shooting the surrounding objects to form an image, which can observe things within 6 meters. The installation “POP STAR” comes from the artist’s desire for a kind of transcendental visual system.

《波普星》是以正二十面体的几何形体为基础，艺术家通过对空间的解构与形式的重构，最终以超越人类视觉阅读尺度的体量构建起这件“庞然大物”，像是一只由另一时空维度飞入的外来物。让人联系起拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生说的一个超验理论：“世界将其自身缩小成为一滴露水”，而艺术家将一个微小复眼放大成为一件庞然大物。

“POP STAR” is based on the geometric shape of the icosahedron. Through the deconstruction of space and the reconstruction of form, the artist finally constructed this “monster” with a huge volume that exceeds the human visual reading scale, like an alien object flying in from another dimension of time and space. Viewers could feel the association between the “POP STAR” and transcendental theory that Ralph Waldo Emerson said: “The world globes itself in a drop of dew”, while the artist enlarges a tiny compound eye into a behemoth.
