凱蒂・帕特森: 深奧的「深時間」藝術

深奧的「深時間」藝術

凱蒂・帕特森說：「目光短淺或許是對人類最嚴重的威脅。」凱蒂・帕特森是位觀念藝術家，她的作品表達「深時間」的觀念，「深時間」描述的是地球幾百萬年來的歷史。在這次演講裡，她展示了許多作品，例如：能聽見冰河消融聲的專線、瀕死星體的分佈圖。帕特森還發表了她的最新企劃：未來圖書館。這座圖書館為森林簇擁環繞，收藏一百份由著名作家撰寫的手稿，直到 2114 年才由未來世代出版、閱讀。

Humanity is part of an immense continuum that stretches across millions of years, from ancient forests to distant dying stars. By creating art with the sounds of melting glaciers, beads carved from ancient fossils, and a library to be read a century from now, the artist invites us to sense our deep connection to Earth and one another. The melting of glaciers and the planting of a forest for future books highlight both our impact and our responsibility. Seeing ourselves in this vast timeline fosters hope, humility, and a commitment to future generations.
