"Art or life?" is a work that explores the value and significance of art and life. It was inspired by interesting debate topic-"If an art museum you visit is on fire and you can save only one thing. There is a cat and a famous painting in front of you. Which one would you save?"
I believe everyone will have his/her own answers and it is reasonable to have either choice. This project aims to explore the reasons and significance behind these choices. The final outcome has two forms of output. The first is an interactive game, allowing people to make choices through a mini programme and finally get the "result" of their final answer. The second output is the combination of printing and clothing to present the reasons behind people's different choices. The project wants to express that "Life is a road of constant choice, and every choice will lead to a different direction, so each of them is critically important."
The world has become so vivid and wonderful because of the existence of life. Whether it is ordinary or gorgeous, life cannot be copied because its value transcends all other things in the world.
When you are in a fire, the wailing, compassion and empathy in front of you make you respond instinctivelyb. The resonance of love makes you see the pain of life passing away.
Cats bring happiness to your life. When they become your closest friend, they give you spiritual comfort, pleasure and relaxation, brightening up your dull life.
When you cannot measure the value of the famous painting and cat, but after careful calculations and comparisons, you will incline yourself to one of them.
Cats give you the purest love and companionship, making you feel safe and warm. They are like sunshine that pierces through smog, offering a trace of warmth in our mundane life.
Famous paintings, as works of art, restore the most genuine face of history. Without art, our history and civilization would lose lustre. The dissolution of artworks will cause huge losses to the future.
Behind the artworks, there are real artists expressing their inner feelings and thinking, resonating with the audience, who obtain rich inner experience.
The financial value of a famous painting is immeasurable. Saving a famous painting will bring you concrete profits such as fame and fortune.
We want to solidify instantaneous feelings or things into eternity. And art exactly captures the connection between such moments and eternity, so that you can see the "eternity" you pursue become a reality.
