安东·维多克:宇宙主义,改变人们对周围世界的思考方式

Anton Vidokle:Cosmism,Changing How We Think about the World around Us

第十四届上海双年展的主策展人安东·维多克,他于2012年接触到宇宙主义的思想,对此产生了浓厚的兴趣,并开始了对宇宙主义进行长达十余年的独立研究。他认为,宇宙主义激发想象力,使我们对自己在世界和宇宙中的位置有更复杂的理解。宇宙主义不视宇宙为遥远的、遥不可及的现象,而是地球上的一部分:我们生活的每一天都生存在宇宙中。我们希望这样的认知能够改变人们对自己和周围世界的思考方式。

Anton Vidokle was appointed as the Chief Curator of the 14th Shanghai Biennale.In his opinion,Cosmism triggers imagination and opens us to a more complex understanding of our place in the world,in the cosmos.Cosmism approaches the cosmos not as a distant,far away phenomenon,but something that is right here on Earth:we live in the cosmos every day of our lives.We hope that such realizations can produce changes in how people think about themselves and the world around them.
