The cross-border of science and technology and the breakout and evolution of individuals in a commercialized society.
Editor’s note: This article is from WeChat public account “Quoco” (ID: CoolCocooo), The author Zeng Xiaosu, who has helped countless entrepreneurs in the United States, has now become an entrepreneur. Living in New York, direction technology PLUS aesthetics.
Silicon Valley, 4 years. AI/Fintech/SaaS…
New York, 2 years. Opera show, cyberpunk.
This is my life for the past six years, in Silicon Valley and New York, under the collision of these two opposing but equally strong cultures.
A guest of the Thirteen Invitations said that he sees the world watching the operation of the universe. There is a complete methodology that does not need to be treated differently. I am envious.
Now I have been in the East, West and West for a short time, accompanied by a short time of confusion: He is right, I can.
Before the text begins, I invite you to read an article I wrote earlier Entrepreneurship, Artists and Quantum Physics< /a> (click to view).
Then we will talk about it, the cross-border of science and technology and the breakout and evolution of individuals in a commercialized society.
Art is return and breakout
New York is a financial and artistic capital. The temperament of the city appears to be anxious for those who are financial in the reinforced concrete, but the Manhattan in the bones is an indescribable romantic taste. The people who play the art fill it with more flesh and blood, diversity and joy.
In fact, in New York, everyone will fly and return to part of themselves. For me, the change is to rejoice in the appreciation of art and more exploration. Later, it was discovered that it would be better to look at and sort out the technology and capital operations that were previously engaged.
Balances the left and right brains, the boundaries are not so clear, but the horizons are wider, and the amount of data becomes larger. The accuracy of decision-making is higher. After all, the dimensions of the world are not single, and the solution is not a binary opposition.
This re-collection of art is a few years apart, and the skills have been basically cleared to zero. 5 to 13 years old, I spent the rest of my studies in the rehearsal room, and I took a good erhu level 10 and sat in the orchestra. Reluctantly can be defined as the kind of child who is still okay in art.
Beginning with the second day, I have no time to practice the piano. People like this kind of art boy, many of them are getting heavier.I have sacrificed my sensibility for many years, and the most typical one is shameful in the high-level Chinese division. There were 17 classes in our grade, 15 of which were science classes.
Our generation has received too much rational and logical influence. After work, most of them spend their days in an office building full of isolation. The more they relate to numbers, the more they can make money. Who let us catch up with such a developed business society.
If the calculations represent cleverness, there are too many smart people in this era. How can we break through in the homogenized crowd?
Capture technology + art style
After a while, I went to Beijing. During the two days in a hurry, Xiaomi released his Mito mobile phone that entered the fashion world. He also sent the post-modern plastic small bag and CHANEL perfume to the participants for the first time; Baidu continued Declaring all in AI, was poured cold water.
The change of Xiaomi is a bit interesting, but I didn’t talk much. This time, I did not hang around visiting technology companies and various funds as usual, but customized a technology + itinerary, focusing on the technology entertainment industry and new art consumption.
It’s like watching things and dreaming.
A company based in Andersen Garden, doing multimedia art design expression. A while ago, I saw an exhibition of them in Nanjing. The whole scene was displayed, but it was an upgraded version of the immersive LED space made by TeamLab. It was full of Chinese style elements.
Put a few pictures and record them:
Black hole into the door
星云
洛神赋
Hundred Flowers
A thousand miles of rivers and mountains map
The main exhibition is the re-creation of the scene of “Luo Shen Fu”, “Hundred Flowers”, “Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains”, light and shadow. The realization of technology is through the deep learning of the three original paintings of Chinese ancient paintings by AI, the elements of painting are opened and then smashed, plus the cloud real scene and the cloud pattern, 3D reproduction.
To this company, in a place that can be called a darkroom, I have determined the team’s excellence and low profile: Zhang Yimou’s director’s team, “Beijing Eight Minutes”, “Belt and Road” and the country’s large name Art exhibitions are completed in this design. The content covers both traditional and postmodern art.
The focus is on, they have reserved a whole floor of nearly 360 square meters of space to the technology cross-border elements, this year has just been completed. The boss of the company was born from the background of design. The enthusiasm for technology made him sleep at 6 o’clock in the morning before, and he talked for two hours at noon.
He said that they use technology to define and express art.
After going to 798, another company was reshaping technology with art.
The company completed the “primitive accumulation of capital” by means of venture capital financing, and went through the red brick and iron spiral staircase to enter the station, like walking into an art station, even the books on the elegant wood shelves are international. The latest issue of fashion magazines.
The team just picked up a “traditional industry space scenario” project of a domestic hardware technology company, the previous projectIt is the combination of desert music festival, retro technology items, stars and high-tech elements to reshape these.
The founder said that this is an unstoppable evolution and recommended two books to me:
On August 4th, at the office, he gave his third annual giant speech. The theme is “not as predictable as evolution.” The operating system required by the new rules of edge, speed, discrete, digital commerce…cross-border.
Technology Entrepreneurship is a Conceptual Art
Everyone is talking about evolution in today’s economic downturn and sinking. Evolution, in my opinion, is to expand the boundaries.
The extension of technology and art, I think we can use “technology is a concept art” to summarize. So what is the concept of conceptual art itself? Let us first confirm whether it is essentially related to technology, especially Internet entrepreneurship.
Conceptual art refers to the artist’s ability to describe a scene, and the meaning given by visualizing characters, environments, props, etc. through storytelling. (When the CEO is financing, this is the case)
Successful conceptual artists inject their personal style into their work. (CEO gene determines company genes).
If you want to be a good conceptual artist, you need a sublimation to make you special. (eg “make the world a better place”)
Give an example. In 2017, Nigel Gifford designed a drone that can hold food. The wing is made of edible material, the fuselage and cabin are filled with food, and the rest of the structure is wooden and can be dismantled. Cooking for food. Drones were used to provide humanitarian assistance to the affected areas.
This The drone is a conceptual art, and this product makes Silicon Valley feel very proud.
There is another company called Me-too, which is a technology gadget. The more famous works are 骷髅 and specimen sharks, generationsIt is a symbol of human weakness and death.
We can draw a simple conclusion:
[1] When technology promotes artistic boundaries, technological innovation is transformed into a final concept through innovation or disintegration of art.
[2] Conceptual art is often creating new art concepts, so the technology field is a very cool and varied gameplay scene.
[3] Technology is expressed through art, transforming cold data and structure into part of human senses and emotions, causing empathy and behavioral intimacy. Create new good things for the world, or a more realistic way of interpretation.
The above concepts can all be skipped. The key point is the conclusion: the cross-border integration of technology and art. This evolution is unstoppable and irreversible in today’s commercial society.
My article is also slowly written from sensibility to rationality, but also a prologue. Welcome to leave a message for me to discuss in the background. I have become a netizen through the background and 900+ history.
