施政参加2024年度第二届“TAG·新当代-离岸”，项目集合了10位活跃于当代艺术领域的青年艺术家：曹舒怡、陈萧伊、丁鸿丹、冯至炫、贺子珂、蒲英玮、沈凌昊、施政、王悠和张移北的作品。他们从个人经历和独特角度出发，通过绘画、影像、装置和新媒体等艺术形式，探讨了基于后人类时代背景下生物体、人类群体以及现实虚拟空间的各种变化和进化，共同向公众展现年轻艺术家的创作思考和美学观念。

在展览的学术研讨会中，围绕着“作品与叙事关系”这一话题，施政谈到：“可能是当下时代接受信息的方式已经改变了，导致了艺术家对处理信息的方式也有所改变。叙事本身一开始会困扰我，我不是一个很擅长讲故事的人。艺术的表达就是开放的，我可以用一种更加客观的方式让大家看到。展览现场的两件作品便把我感兴趣的地方以及差异性都展现出来，一个是奇观景象，另一个是日常的场景。”
《来自阿尔法城的片场 #2》, 2023, 影像装置，08'00" loop
From the film set of "Alphaville #2", 2020
Video Installation, 08'00" loop
这次展览展出了来自施政的两件作品，一件是《来自电影阿尔法城的片场#2》，该系列是由电脑软件模拟完成的现实工作室的一组数字副本。艺术家在作品名中致敬了导演让-吕克·戈达尔(Jean-Luc Godard)的电影《阿尔法城》 (Alphaville)，并使用片场来隐喻自己的工作室环境。图像中空空的转椅在暗示主人缺席的同时，也更加凸显了桌上这些形形色色的设备的存在感。尽管屏幕并未亮起，但硬盘灯却暴露了机器仍在隐秘运行的实 质，强调了一种“机器在场而人下落未明”的感受。
《溶于时间》, 2022，单频数字影像，08'00"
Melting in Time, 2022, SIngle-Channel digital video, 08'00"
另一件作品是艺术家创作于2022年的作品《熔于时间》。在屏幕中，一座冰山缓缓崩塌，最终落入海洋。受到一段记录格陵兰峡湾巨大冰山坍塌视频的启发，施政采用计算机生成图像技术，在这件影像作品中重现了冰山轰然消融的全过程。在艺术家看来，冰架坍塌的自然现象并非“自然”发生，而可以看作是气候变暖的趋势下人类时间、地质时间与技术时间的对抗。通过数字手段的操纵，自然可以被高度逼真地模拟、重演，这也隐喻着人类行为对自身生存环境的影响与改变。

TAG - New Contemporary - Seaward, Installation VIew, TAG Art Museum, 2023
Shi Zheng participated in the "TAG - New Contemporary - Seaward" exhibition at TAG Art Museum, the exhibition that congregates the works of 10 young artists active within the sphere of contemporary art: Cao Shuyi, Chen Xiaoyi, Ding Hongdan, Feng Zhixuan, He Zike, Pu Yingwei, Shen Linghao, Governance, Wang You, and Zhang Yanbei. From their indivdidual experiences and distinctive perspectives, the artists have undertaken an exploration through the transformations and evolution of organisms, human collectives, and tangible as well as virtual spaces in the context of post-human era. Through diverse art forms encompassing painting, video, installation, and new media, collectively presenting to the public the innovative thinking and aesthetic concepts of the emerging artists.
In the subsequent academic forum, revolves around the topic of "relationship between artwork and narrative," Shi Zheng said: "Perhaps the way of receiving information has changed in the current era, which has led to a change in the way artists deal with information. Narrative itself bothers me at first, as I am not a very good storyteller. The expression of art is openness, and I can let people see it in a more objective way. The two pieces on the exhibition floor then bring out what interests me as well as the differences, one is a spectacle scene and the other is an everyday scene.”

This exhibition brings two artworks of Shi Zheng, one is From the set of the film Alphaville #2, which comes from a set of digital copies of the artist's own real-life studio simulated by computer software. In the title of the work, the artist pays homage to director Jean-Luc Godard's film Alphaville and uses the set as a metaphor for his own studio environment. The deliberate incljusion of an empty swivel chair in the image suggests the absence of the owner, but at the same time accentuates the presence of the various devices on the table. Although the screen is not lit up, the hard disc light reveals the hidden nature of the machine, thereby imbuing the composition with an overarching sense of 'machines present but people absent'.

Another work Melting in Time is an artwork created by Shi Zheng in 2022. On the screen, an iceberg slowly breaks apart, disappearing in the sea. Inspired by a video of the collapse of a massive iceberg in a Greenland fjord, Shi Zheng uses computer-generated image technology to reimagine the entire process in this video work. In the artist's view, the collapse of an ice shelf is not a natural event, but a confrontation between human time, geological time, and technological time against the backdrop of climate change. Through digital manipulation, nature can be simulated and reproduced hyperrealistically, which also is in itself a metaphor for how human behavior has impacted and transformed the environments in which we live.
