泰奥·扬森

 

 

For almost 30 years, through precise calculations and almost independent work, using ordinary materials such as PVC, Theo Jensen has repeatedly experimented on the Dutch beach to create mechanisms that hunt and move on their own. His actions demonstrated the possibilities of individual imagination, the balance between science and art, sensory and rationality. He also encouraged people to rethink their understanding about perseverance, or meaning of life and time. He provided a revolutionary new perspective on existing knowledge and concepts, opening new frontiers for biology, religion and art. He has made enlightening contributions on how to make life choices, how to understand oneself and nature, and how to measure the attitude of pursuing one’s dreams.

 

泰奥杨森采用平凡的PVC等材料,通过精确运算,近30年,几乎以一己之力,在荷兰海边反复实验,创造出自行扑食、运动的新生命体。他的行动呈现出个体的想象力与可能性。科学的艺术性,感性与理性的均衡。引发人们重新反思对恒心,或者说对意义与生命和时间的理解。也对已有的知识和概念提供了革命性的新视角。对于生物学、宗教和艺术都拓展出新的疆域。对于如何作出生活选择、理解自我和自然、衡量追求理想的心态等处世态度,做出了具有启示性的贡献。
