「給火星人類學家」展覽援引比利時藝評家蒂埃里・德・迪弗於《以藝術之名》中假想的未來場景,邀請藝術家在網路空間以及實體現場,為日後可能登陸地球的「火星人類學家」,留下可供其考察人類文明的各式線索。藝術家將以「網頁」作為作品實質發生的特定場所,實體場所則作為作品延伸的界面,佈署與線上作品遙相呼應的索引。
The exhibition To Martian Anthropologists invokes the imaginary future scenes from In the Name of Art by the Belgic art critic, Thierry de Duve, and invites the artists to leave, both in cyberspace and in the physical venue, all kinds of clues for the martian anthropologists who might land on Earth someday to launch a field research on the human civilizations. For the artists, web pages will be the specific site where the artworks actually take place, and the physical venue serves as an extended interface and an index of deployment echoing remotely the online artworks.
