Symbiotic Cosmos: A Dialogue on Reconstructing Design Education Ecosystem Amidst Technological Iteration
This biennale is also inspired by the unique regional culture of Liangzhu in Hangzhou . Liangzhu is the archaeological evidence of China's 5,000-year-old civilization; Hangzhou is not only a famous historical city but also a city of innovation and vitality. Here, ancient civilization and modern technology shine together, serving as a vivid interpretation of the cultural strength of Chinese modernization. This biennale gathers global cutting-edge creations and innovative ideas, continuously influencing industry, education, society, innovation, and other fields. It has become a key hub connecting local wisdom with the global context, making the "Hangzhou Model" a vivid example of the deep integration of culture and technology.
The fundamental mission of art and science is to "discover the world and discover humanity". Through four sections —"Connections: Embodied Interaction", "Symbiosis: Digital Education", "Speculation: Ecological Reconstruction", and "Manifesto: Philosophical Inquiry" — the biennale constructs a narrative framework of "Heaven, Earth, Human, and Machine". The first section allows visitors to experience the connections between humans, machines, and the world through embodied interactions. The second section focuses on promoting the coexistence of humanities and technology through digital education. The third section encourages visitors to speculate on how technology and environment can interact. The final section prompts reflections on the values and ethical boundaries of art-technology integration. These explorations not only continue the century-old academic tradition of CAA, but also demonstrate China's unique approach to engaging in civilizational dialogue amid the wave of globalization.
In the future, CAA will continue to build distinctive, future-oriented and world-class design studies, providing a more comprehensive "CAA solution" for global design education. The
China ( Hangzhou ) Art and Technology Biennale, emerging from this context, will build bridges of dialogue between Liangzhu and the world, between art and technology, allowing ancient wisdom and cutting-edge exploration to resonate in harmony, while enabling artistic intelligence and technological futures to illuminate each other.
The exhibition is curated by Duan Weibin, the dean of the CAA's School of Design&Innovation. The article is also written by Duan Weibin.
