“Humankind is now facing a global crisis. Perhaps the biggest crisis of our generation. The decision people and governments take in the next few weeks will probably shape the world for years to come. They will shape not just our healthcare systems but also our economy, politics and culture.”
— Yuval Noah Harari, The World After Coronavirus, 2020
“人类正在面临全球危机，或许这是我们这代人遇到的最严重的危机。人民、政府今后几周内做出的决定或许会在今后很多年内改变世界。它不仅将重塑我们的医保体系，还将影响我们的经济、政治和文化。”
——尤瓦尔·赫拉利，《冠状病毒之后的世界》，2020
The year 2020 is already half way through. With the outbreak of the epidemic from a single point to a widespread pandemic that has covered the world, masks, quarantine, nucleic acid tests have become part of our daily life. From the terrified and anxious state to becoming accustomed to it, peoples’ emotions and reactions have changed forever. At the same time, warnings of disasters such as earthquakes, tsunami, rainstorms, floods, locust plagues are constantly being reported on in different places. The world is changing silently and dramatically at this moment and most people are forced to surge forward constantly and unconsciously under these circumstances. All we can do is to occasionally gasp and contemplate the earthshaking change around us.
2020已过半，随着疫情从点到面在全球爆发，口罩、隔离、检测已经成为日常生活中的一部分，人们从谈虎色变到习以为常。与此同时，地震、海啸、暴雨、水灾、蝗灾等灾害的警报也在各地不断拉响，这个时间节点下世界正在发生着无声的巨变，而大部分人被洪流巨浪裹挟着一刻不停地向前涌动，只有在偶尔喘歇时才惊觉这翻天覆地的变化。
As most countries have entered the post-pandemic era, the crisis brought about by COVID-19 has long gone beyond the immune stage. Instead, it has gradually spread to the political, economic, ethnic, and environmental fields of human society. In this context, medical concepts such as “herd immunity” have been proposed. In addition to the research within the scientific circle, they are also influences in the political field and social ethics tthat need to be examined. Meanwhile, people's understanding of “immunity” also develops from a simple medical concept to the discussion of state policies, ethics, morality and national crises.
随着绝大部分国家已经步入后疫情时代，新冠状病毒带来的危机早已超出医疗免疫问题，而逐步扩散至人类社会的政治、经济、民族、环境等领域。在这样的语境中，诸如“群体免疫”等医学概念地提出，在科学研究之外，还被置于政治场域与社会伦理中去审视，人们对“免疫”的理解，也从单纯的医学概念延展至对国家政策、伦理道德与民族危机等多方面的探讨。
In the year 2020, human society has undoubtedly been immersed in a “State of Emergency”. While the realistic world stops us from moving ahead, the virtual field provides us with the possibility of stepping forward. We, humans, are frozen in a certain grid of space and time and are forced to experience the convergence and diaspora in the invisible virtual area that we never had to experience before. The rapid development of technology and the digital world in this era has enabled people to become accustomed to quarantine, work from home, and communicate with each other remotely after a brief period of anxiety and panic — we are adapting to life in the pandemic and the normalization of the “State of Emergency” has begun. Under these circumstances, it seems that various aftereffects led by the coronavirus has gradually been “immunized” along with the increasingly blurred boundary between the emergency state and daily life.
2020年，人类社会无疑陷入了“紧急状态”之中。在真实的世界寸步难行时，虚拟的世界给我们提供了可以行走的可能，定格在空间与时间中的人群在看不见的“线上”进行中前所未有的交汇与流变。幸或不幸，这个时代科技与网络的迅猛发展，使得人们能够在短暂的焦虑与恐慌后开始习惯彼此隔离，居家办公，以及通过网络联络情感——人们开始适应疫情中的生活，“紧急状态”开始常态化，疫情带来的后遗症也似乎正在随着“紧急”与“日常”日益模糊的边界而被暂时性“免疫”。
We become accustomed to a life in crisis and the boundaries between countries, between contexts, and between fields are gradually dispelled in turmoil. At this moment, what can art tell, reveal, and warn in such a complex situation?
当危机中的生活变得习以为常，当国家之间、语境之间、场域之间的边界在动乱中被逐渐消解，艺术能够在这样复杂的境遇中讲述、揭示与警示些什么？
With the first attempt of the ongoing project “Reflecting the Sharing Moment” organized by CAFA ART INFO, the online exhibition More Than The Immune Problem invites both domestic and international artists to record and present their reflections on the world and themselves in the year 2020. Diversified thinking and expressions from these artists are expected to be shared and discussed in a broader sense.
作为艺迅网发起的长期项目“Reflecting the Sharing Moment”的首次呈现，展览“免疫”试图以线上展览的形式，记录和呈现在2020年，国内外艺术家眼中的世界与自我的关系，以及他们对当下危机的反思与表达。
