第七届广州三年展于广东美术馆举办，由王绍强担任总策展人。展览以“化作通变”为主题，邀请来自更加广泛文化背景之下的超过50位/组国内外艺术家及团体，试图拉开一个于变中求变的当代景观。此次展览分为四个板块，分别是由吴洪亮策展的“边缘”板块，菲利普·多德（Philip Dodd）策划的“慢板”板块，艾墨思（Thomas Eller）策划的“触屏”板块，以及由姜俊策展的“内生”板块。展览已于2023年1月10日开幕，将持续至4月10日。

aaajiao的创作结合了浓重的反乌托邦意识、对文人精神的反思。他的很多作品都致力于探索新的科技和媒体影响之下的文化现象和政治策略，从社交媒体写作、数据处理，到网络和移动媒介下的新美学景观。《云数据应用程序》是艺术家借由古老传说中手势具有的神秘力量—通过手势和歌声，人们会获得勇气、怜悯、智慧或平静，来创作的互动装置作品。观众可以通过采集手势、触摸数据来生成和控制云，伴随着音乐声，会带来精神和情感的平衡。

aaajiao’s art and works are marked by a strong dystopian awareness, literati spirits and sophistication. Many of aaajiao’s works speak to new thinkings, controversies and phenomenon around the Internet, with specific projects focusing on the processing of data, the blogsphere and China’s Great Fire Wall. cloud.data app is a work created by the artist based on the mysterious power of gestures in ancient legends—with these gestures and singings, people may get courage, mercy, intelligence or calm. The audience can collect the gesture and touch data to generate and control the cloud. With the music sound, it will give you the mental and emotional balance.
