“去罗马”是曹澍在想象力学的最新项目，本次展览始于一个持续了两年的计划，共展出12件，包括3D数字模拟影像装置，声音装置，互动游戏等不同形态的作品。

1651年，卜弥格（Michel Boym，1612—1659 ）受命于南明永历皇帝，作为特使，经澳门、果阿、莫卧尔、波斯、安纳托利亚、士麦那，前往罗马，向名义上的欧洲精神领袖——教皇英诺森十世请求军事援助。这次历时8年的长途跋涉中，他的身份在明朝外交使节、传教士、博物学者、地理学家、异教徒之间反复切换。最终被抱持不同意识形态的人们全部拒绝，死于越南边境。

此次展览中，我想试着将不同作品之间形成的线索，理解为一篇基于以上历史的虚构文本残页，12件装置作为残页的标点符号，散落在展厅中，等待观众解谜。回顾自己这两年间进行的各种材料实验，大部分是失败的，就像文本中传教士在旅途中出于散漫的好奇心而留下的动植物图画，遗失在历史的阴影里一样。但物质材料之间的遭遇就像虫洞，作为证据将历史的很多端口联通在一起，这些端口如同磁铁的红蓝两极，本身一体，却又相互对立。传教士的梦里，他吃下了红蓝药丸，戴上红蓝立体眼镜，看到世界地图在20世纪分为了红蓝两色……画师委拉斯贵支、受困于宗教战争的英诺森十世教皇、来自东方的传教士卜弥格、南明的皇帝，在370年前的历史切片上出现在世界各地的角落，并产生出蝴蝶效应般的相互影响，同时他们的身份也变得模糊不清。就像卡尔维诺在《月光映照的银杏叶地毯》結尾提到的：

“漫天飞舞的银杏叶的特征在于，事实上，在每一刻，每一片正在飘落的叶子，出现在与其他叶子不同的高度，因此视觉感官所坐落的空洞而没有感觉的空间，可以区分为一系列的连续平面，在每一平面，我们发现一小片叶子在旋转，而且只有单独的一片”。

" GO TO ROME " is CAO SHU's latest project in imagokinetics.This exhibition began as a two-year project,exhibits a total of 12 works,including 3D rendered moving image installations,sound installations,interactive games as well as other medium of works.

In 1651, Michel Boym (1612—1659) was appointed by Yongli, the Chinese emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty. As a special appointed envoy agent, he travelled to Rome starting from Macau, Goa, Mogul, Persia, Anatolia, and Smyrna to request for military support from the nominal European spiritual leader, Pope Innocent X. During the eight-year long traveling trek, his occupation interchanged between among a Ming Dynasty diplomatic envoy agent, Jesuit missionary, naturalist, geographer, zoologist, and pagan. In the end, people held different ideologies were all rejected and died on the border of Vietnam.In this exhibition, I try to understand the clues identified between the connection between different works as a fictional fragment text based on the real historical event explained above. 12 installations scattered throughout the exhibition space interpreting as punctuation marks for the text fragment, awaiting for the audience to solve the puzzle.The painter, Velazquez, the Pope Innocent X trapped in the Reformation of religions, the Jesuit Bu Miguel from the East, and the emperor of Southern Ming Dynasty existed in corners around the world in historical events 370 years ago together formed a butterfly influence, so that their identities became ambiguous. As Italo Calvino wrote in The Form of Space 

“in some way, regular, with right angles and symmetrical proportions, whereas instead, we should always bear in mind how space breaks up around every cherry tree and every leaf of every bough that moves in the wind, and at every indentation of the edge of every leaf, and also it forms along every vein of the leaf, and on the network of veins inside the leaf, and on the piercings made every moment by the riddling arrows of light, all printed in negative in the dough of the void, so that there is nothing now that does not leave its print, every possible print of every possible thing, and together every transformation of these prints, instant by instant, so the pimple growing on a caliph's nose or the soap bubble resting on a laundress's bosom changes the general form of space in all its dimensions."

 

A crack on a planet allows all established historical, geographic, and physical knowledge fall into it, to become an unrecognizable mass again.
