Weathering The Space: Orbital Echoes 2025
Being Art Museum, Shanghai, Sep 20 - Oct 25
After completing its mission, a rocket re-enters the atmosphere, with most of its structure burning up in the process, while a small amount of debris eventually falls to the Earth’s surface or into the ocean.
If the sedimentary layers represent the silent chronicle of "deep time" recording geological events and the history of species—a chronicle under our feet—then the sky above us, despite sharing the Earth’s long history, seems more ephemeral, ever-changing, and vast. It represents another kind of temporal structure based on cycles, rotations, and orbital movements rather than linear deposition.
Between the surface and the edge of Earth's orbit lies the sky, described by John Durham Peters as a medium, filled with the invisible footprints of radio waves and satellite signals, occasionally witnessing the arc of a rocket's ascent. This sky is also referred to by Lisa Parks as a vertical public space, symbolizing the openness of the human condition and requiring analysis with environmental specificity: the sky is not a chaotic, homogeneous, and undifferentiated medium but an environment constantly edited and altered by specific perspectives and technologies.
How can we understand this dynamic vertical space, a place few have phenomenologically experienced, without oversimplification? It also concerns how to form perspectives and awareness for viewing, participating in, and positioning this vertical public space, and respond to the human living environment in the new space age: the technological intervention and social research of the sky are intertwined.
Weathering the Space, Orbital Echoes is the first chapter of the long-research project "Cosmic Arclight." The sonic boom produced as a rocket re-enters the atmosphere seems to unfold among the clouds, still saturated with imagination. This research-based display centers on space and sky-borne infrastructures (satellites, sounding balloons, rockets, and more), inviting artists and researchers to reflect across three interlinked spectra—"space," "orbit," and "earth/sea." Together, they explore possibilities for an organic expansion of earthly life, rather than an invasive form of conquest.

Group show at Absent Gallery, 2025.09.07 - 10.19
Inside of the Eyelids workshop
July 5, from 5pm to 7pm - Science Fiction Workshop: The Inside of the Eyelids, Universe Pavilion, Venice, Italy,
in collaboration with Being Art Museum, featuring artists ZhenZhen Zhong and Dianqing Shi, and curator Iris Long.
Inspired by Samantha Harvey’s Orbital, the workshop explores temporal rhythms between orbit, Earth, and deep space, examining how the mechanics of future space shelters might reflect inner experiences—those shaped by forgotten myths and ancient technologies.
In an era of reusable rockets, space debris may vanish, but the sensory disorientation of space travel will remain. Today’s debris, along with our unresolved impressions of the sky, offers narrative material for future explorers. There will always be a moment when we close our eyes and drift into dreams of space.
Presented as a form of object theatre, the event features design and sound works by the artists: imagined space suits, orientation tools for microgravity, fragments of fictional debris, and sonic recreations of rockets breaking the sound barrier. Participants are invited to engage with these objects and their conceptual layers, co-creating speculative fictions that reimagine what shelter might mean—inside and beyond the eyelids.
此次设立在威尼斯建筑双年展的宇宙亭台被设想为一个年度活动，旨在搭建一个跨文化、跨学科的持续对话平台。展览通过强调太空探索所面临的挑战与地球生命的深刻关联，激发新的视角并促进科学、艺术与全球议题之间的合作。
“眼睑之内”受到萨曼莎·哈维作品《轨道》的启发，探讨轨道、地面与深空之间的关系性时间节律。该项目研究未来太空庇护的机械设计如何与内在体验紧密相连——那些与被遗忘的神话与古老技术产生共鸣的体验。
此次活动以物体剧场的形式展开，由两位艺术家共同开发的一系列设计与声学物体组成。其中包括：想象中的太空服、用于空间站重力条件下的定向工具、火箭残骸碎片、以及
火箭突破音障的声音重建等。本次工作坊旨在邀请观众通过与这些物体及其背后的概念映射互动，共同推演关于庇护的多元想象——并在“眼睑之内”共同创造关于这些潜在未来的推测性虚构。
