Ever since it was opened at the Today Art Museum, located in Guomao, a month ago, I've seen lots of photos and short videos of it in WeChat Moments almost every week.
自它在位于国贸的今日美术馆开放参观一个月以来，每礼拜我在微信朋友圈里都能看到大量现场图片和短视频。
.zip Future Rhapsody is about the present and future relationships between the human and technology.
“.zip未来的狂想”是一个探讨当下和预估未来人与技术关系的展览。
It creates a novel, immersive environment by showing a variety of new media artworks. It makes you feel illusive, being unable to distinguish between the real and the unreal.
展出的不同类型的新媒体艺术作品带给观众新奇、沉浸式的体验，这些充满错觉的、迷惑的、幻想的作品让你难以分别现实与虚拟。
It is titled .zip because shown artworks include almost all the digital file formats we live with every day, such as .txt, .jpg, .gif, .mp3, to name a few.
展览的标题取自“zip”这个我们最熟悉的压缩软件格式，因为展出的作品囊括了几乎所有最日用的数字格式，包括文本、图片、动图、音频等等。
And the exhibition is just like a zip file having compressed all these formats into a package. When we come across each artwork, we "unzip" them to unlock the secrets of future.
整个展览就如同一个超级大的压缩文件，将所有的这些格式打包、呈现给观众。当我们观看、进入每一件作品时，就是一次解压缩、解锁未来密码的过程。
Wu Juehui, a co-curator and featured artist of the exhibition, says:
"Everyone of us lives with a certain format familiar to us. A format not only represents a logic of technology, but also, it becomes the way people live and think.
正如展览的策展人和参展艺术家之一的吴珏辉所说：
“每个人都活在自己熟悉的格式里，格式不再只是一种技术逻辑，而将成为人类存在和思考的方式。”
"Maybe in the near future, we greet each other by first asking, 'Would you please tell me your format?'"
“或许在不久的将来，我们问候的第一句话是：‘请问你是什么格式？’”
