从生活中偶然拾起，
从浩如烟海的数据中找寻，
种种从日常中发掘提升的艺术价值，
需要大量时间，敏锐的洞察，和对生活的热爱。
“我不是一个弹奏乐器的人，我是一个设计乐器的人。” ——八木良太
Occasionally encountered in our life,
Frequently found in the sea of data,
Lots of artistic values that have been found and promoted in daily lives，
are based on our time, keen insight and the pursuit of life.
“I am not an instrument player but a designer in this field.” ----Lyota Yagi

此次的展览呈现了八木先生对于“媒介”的超凡想象。千百年来，人类对于媒介的改进从未停止。远古时代，人们通过石板传递信号，与外界交流；近代，信息工具变为纸张；现代时期，电流的出现极大扩展了媒介的传输可能……
The exhibition presents Mr. Yagi’s extraordinary vision of “Medium”. For thousands of years, humans have never stopped improving medium. Ever since the ancient times, people communicated with the outside world with stone slabs; while in the modern times, people started to use paper to exchange information and nowadays, electric currents have made the transmission of medium possible......

然而，在八木良太这里，他破天荒的回到了更远的时代——在“融化的音乐”这一作品中，让“冰河时代的冰”演变为“现代的黑胶唱片”，承载声音的刻痕“传唱”出物质与精神层面都很“纯粹”的声音。
制作这一 “冰唱片”的工具，是我们常见的硅制模具与冰箱。这一简单的配置却完成着艺术家创作中很重要的观念：对于媒介的突破——“为什么冰不能用来承载信息呢？” 冰会融化这一特性，就像信息在时间中会失真。
我们不仅是在观赏“冰唱片”的消融，也是在第一次亲耳聆听“固化”的时间和记忆。
In the exhibition, Yagi has showed us a more distant era. In his work “The Melting Music”, the ice age is transformed into a modern vinyl record which carries the physically and spiritually pleasant sound.
Silicon molds and a refrigerators are used to make this icy record. This is a simple configuration yet reveals a crucially important idea of the artist, that is the breakthrough of mediums----Why not use ice to carry information? Ice can melt and similarly, information can “melt” as time goes by.
We are not only appreciating the melting of icy record but listening to the story about frozen time and memory for the first time.

布展时，八木先生亲自参与其中，他精准地连接这些导线、电路和控制器，焊接和组装。正如他自己所说：“我不是一个弹奏乐器的人，我是一个制造乐器的人。”
如果说其他艺术家在三维空间中创作，那么八木先生则是在四维空间中创作。时间的流逝，正是多出的维度。因此，艺术家本次展览的主题为“记忆”，正是为了捉住时间。
在谈到对未来创作的灵感时，八木先生说：“我希望捕捉那些人类无法听到的和无法看到的。”声波、光波只有一部分是人类可以听到、看到的，而范围之外的那一部分同样也可以被称为光。八木先生把他的目光投向极限之外的广阔世界。
走出展厅时，你会看到另一个世界——那是一个对现有空间突破的，更加广阔的天地，而八木先生好像早已把目光投向了那里，或许正在创作着更多让人惊喜的“记忆”。
Mr. Yagi also took part in the layout of exhibition. He carefully connected the wires, circuits and controllers as well as welding and assembling them. Just as what he mentioned, “I am not an instrument player but a designer in this field.”
If we hold the view that other artists make their designs in a three-dimensional world, then Yagi shall be the one finishing his creation in a four-dimensional world. The running of time features exactly its dimensions. With the theme of Memory, this exhibition aims to help people have a better understanding of time and cherish it.
Speaking of the inspirations of future design, Yagi shared his ideas that, “I want to capture what humans cannot hear and see.” Since human beings could only hear parts of sound waves and see parts of light waves, other parts beyond them could also be defined as light. Yagi has been breaking the limits and concentrating on a broader world.
When walking out of the exhibition hall, people would embrace another world where spaces are not limited and that’s what Yagi has been dedicating himself to creating so as to empower more people with surprising memories.
