前言 Preface：
世纪之交，国内曾涌现一批观念摄影或录像作品，不约而同地表达了艺术家们对于全球化及其可能带来的巨变的美好憧憬和乌托邦愿景。也是在此前后，由于计算机和互联网的普及，艺术家逐渐开始使用新的摄影和录像技术，尤其是PS(Photoshop软件)极大地拓展了他们关于摄影、录像及图像的认知和实践。这些作品便是其中的一部分，它们不仅是这一特殊历史时刻集体情绪的刻画，同时也是技术媒介变革的重要见证。
二十年后，摄影、影像技术已经历了多次迭代和更替，全球化也已进入了新的历史阶段。回看这些技术“粗糙”并极具时代特征的观念作品，我们固然感慨于技术媒介对当代艺术的深刻影响，但这样一种久违的“乐观”情绪和“喜剧”色彩似乎更值得我们深思和玩味。
At the turn of the century, a group of conceptual photography and video works emerged in China, expressing artists' beautiful longings and utopian visions for globalization and the potential changes it could bring. Around the same time, due to the popularity of computers and the Internet, artists gradually began to use new photography and video technologies, especially Photoshop software, which greatly expanded their understanding and practice of photography, video, and images. These exhibits are part of it. They are not only a portrayal of the collective emotions of this special historical moment, but also an important witness to the revolution of technological media.
Twenty years later, photography and imaging technology have undergone multiple iterations and replacements, and globalization has entered a historical stage. Looking back at these conceptual works with "rough" technology yet strong characteristics of the times, we are certainly impressed by the profound impact of technological media on contemporary art. However, the long-lost "optimistic" mood and "comedic" feeling seem to be more worthy of our contemplation and reflection.
