我们正处于一种代码本体论急剧转折的临界点。本次（线上）展览（努力不变成）又一次的无聊透顶的数字艺术“竣工”，我们希望ta是一个由数十个未定形的浏览器系统、临时域名的游离分配、外设传感器的识别偏误，以及人工智能擅自填补的文本档案所共同构成的“球er”。毫无编程背景的年轻创作者们（用生动的劈叉姿势）跨越了语法壁垒，介入了网络架构。ta们有意识地保留了实验最珍贵的粗粝感与不确定性：随时可能被回收的Serverless链接、裸露的控制台痕迹，以及那些偶尔把身体误认为背景的摄像头。
网络（艺术）的第一现场从来不只在发光屏幕内。ta发生于代码的访问限制里、加载失效的断裂处，也发生在观众的loading之中。在这里，ta们有的迫使你以无人机的视角凝视遥远的俄乌战场；有的则在暗处反向监控你的面孔，剥夺你单向观看的特权；还有的暴露出人工智能底层的语义偏见，或无情地揭穿你每一次“前端界面行为”背后早已被设定的行为诱捕。
这些“中期实验档案”彼此遮挡、召唤，随时可能掉线。ta不提供终稿，不强行闭环。ta喜欢这些不稳定的临时聚合入口，让劳动、意图、机器与网络的物质性被平等地看见。
Curatorial translation
We are at a threshold where code ontology is turning sharply. This online exhibition tries not to become yet another painfully boring digital-art “completion”; we hope it behaves as a “Qiu-er” assembled from dozens of unformed browser systems, drifting allocations of temporary domains, misrecognitions from peripheral sensors, and text archives filled in by artificial intelligence without asking. Young creators with no programming background crossed syntactic barriers in vivid splits and intervened in network architecture. They deliberately keep the most precious roughness and uncertainty of experimentation: Serverless links that may be reclaimed at any moment, exposed console traces, and cameras that occasionally mistake bodies for backgrounds.
The first site of network art is never only inside the glowing screen. It happens in code access limits, in the breakage of failed loading, and in the viewer’s own loading. Here, some works force you to look at a distant Russia-Ukraine battlefield through a drone’s perspective; some monitor your face back from the dark and strip away the privilege of one-way looking; others expose semantic bias beneath artificial intelligence, or mercilessly reveal how every “front-end interface behavior” has already been caught in a designed trap.
These midterm experimental archives occlude and summon one another, and may drop offline at any moment. They offer no final draft and force no closure. They prefer these unstable temporary aggregation portals, where labor, intention, machines, and the materiality of the network can be seen on equal terms.
