Exhibition Overview

Into the Nothingness of 0X0 constructs 0X0 as a speculative void universe shaped by information overload, virtual communication and ecological uncertainty in the post-internet era.

Combining human anatomy, botanical structures and marine organisms, CATTIN TSAI develops an evolving ecosystem of biomorphic entities. Figures including Tinder Killer, Man-eating Flower, Double Face and Nine Dragons embody desire, curiosity, attachment, concealment and self-consumption as material and psychological forces.

At the centre of this universe, Sumeru 0X0 draws on the axial structure of Mount Sumeru. It connects multiple systems of life while functioning as a threshold between matter, consciousness and the void. Here, nothingness is presented not as an ending, but as a generative condition from which new organisms and speculative worlds emerge.

《遁入虚无之0X0》以“0X0”为一座虚构的虚空宇宙,回应后网络时代的信息过载、虚拟社交与现实环境危机所共同引发的感知焦虑。

艺术家将人体、植物与海洋生物重新组合,构建出一套持续异化与进化的泛生物体系。Tinder Killer、Man-eating Flower、Double Face 与 Nine Dragons 等生命体,分别承载着欲望、好奇、依恋、伪装与自我吞噬等人性结构。

位于宇宙中心的 Sumeru 0X0 借鉴须弥山的轴心结构,连接不同生命系统,也构成物质、意识与虚无之间的转换界面。作品从现实空间进入虚构生态,使“虚无”不再是终点,而成为新生命和新世界生成的起点。
