在材料和形式的三度空间转换中创造新的语义

艺术家分别把两辆车从中间截断，把两个车头拼在一起，使它完全对称，完成后的车有两个发动机、两个方向盘、两个驾驶座、两个变速器…更重要的是它像真正的车一样可以驱动，可以驾驶，而且两头都可以这样做。当这辆车运动时，很难说清它是在前进或是后退。或许是因前进而后退，又或许是因后退而前进。

当我们看到一辆行驶的汽车，很容易很自然地辨认出是前进还是倒退，因为有车头和车尾之分，有很确定的方向感。但确定的东西一定正确吗？或者说我们习惯的判断一定准确吗？如果失去了明确的参照系，要怎么在错觉或真实的争论中寻找事物的真相？就像这辆无法判断动向的汽车，成年人的世界，没有对错，只是选择。

Creating New Semantics During the Transformation of the Three-Dimensional Space of Material and Form

Cutting two cars from the middle respectively and connecting the heads together to make it completely symmetrical, a car with two engines, two steering wheels, two driver seats and two transmissions came into being. More importantly, it can be driven like a real car, on both sides. When the car is moving, it is hard to say whether it is going forward or backward. Maybe, it is retreating because of advance or advancing because of a retreat.

When we see a car running, we can easily tell if it is going forward or backward; because of the difference between the head and the truck, there is also a certainty for directions. But is the certain thing absolutely correct? Or to say our habitual judgment always accurate? How can we find the truth among illusions and debates if we lose clear reference? Just as this car that one cannot tell the direction, in adults’ world there is no right or wrong, only choices.
