Against the backdrop of rapidly developing digital technology and new media and the ever-expanding boundaries of contemporary art, Beta+ is an exhibition that explores issues of transience and validity in our quest for information and novelty. Influenced by contemporary visual culture, people are constantly seeking visual stimulation from new technologies and craving new experiences; however, such consumer content often comes in fragmented forms, leaving us eagerly awaiting the next wave of emerging products, such as the next eye-catching article, the next unique scene, or the launch of the next generation of new digital goods. Real-time has become the core principle of our content consumption model, and capturing the latest trend has become the primary motivation for consumption.
The competitiveness of today’s large corporations lies in the accrual of knowledge and information and also the ability to quickly and efficiently update and integrate new functionality. This ability enables companies to adapt quickly to market changes and remain competitive. Even though the apps and tools we use today are relatively well-tested, they can still soon become outdated; in fact, the rate at which technology is being iterated and updated is accelerating. In a world where media, technologies, and materials are constantly being updated, artists have begun to rethink the different aspects of their creative production practices, exhibition methods, and forms of expression to adapt to a society with ever-accelerating changes. Therefore, this exhibition seeks to explore how these updates, rearrangements, additions and deletions, exchanges between developers and users, and the evolutionary phenomena are manifested in art.
The exhibition brings together nine artists/groups from Mongolia, France, Singapore, and Taiwan. They respond to and present multiple facets and challenges related to contemporary spaces, environments, and visual cultures by exploring dynamic and real-time spatial experiences. Not a static exhibition, Beta+ presents the artists’ “real-time” creative processes, with their works constantly constructed and reassembled in the exhibition space, providing the audience with a unique and transient diachronic experience.
The artworks in the exhibition showcase a variety of transformative approaches, including digital and algorithmic, chemical and material, performative and situational. Viewers are invited to actively participate in this evolving exhibition, interact with the artists and their works, and reflect on the impermanence of fixed forms and the transience of information. Beta+ reflects the artists’ keen observations on our current environment and proposes a profound reflection on what the future may hold.
