创造来自无，来自空和虚。

而后是时间。时间是开端，是结构之基，是个终极性母题。自诞生起就没有休止符，贪婪地创建新文档，一座新建筑，一个泡沫Idea，一件艺术品，以预言的形态建造实体。用新的BUG修补上一次的过期贬值，用永不停歇的创造填满时空乐高拼盘中室女座超巨椭圆星系M87中心的超大质量黑洞，直到光线出现扭曲的故障。光成为问题，问题就是光。光就是没有，就是无，就是虚空。

在这个莫比斯衔尾蛇环结构中，郑亦然和高亢的组合从社会和个人的视角出发，将历史沙漏对文化和记忆转换进行翻模，在增值与突变演化中捕捉灵光；艺术家Inyoung Yeo 则从思维和逻辑的元素研究开始，在层级复杂的现实构造中提炼出生活模式的框架结构，抽离成极简的几何形式，以艺术逻辑探索着人、技术与消费欲望的控制和幻灭；Shawn Park的#TAGMAN极其狂暴，社交网络的碎屑披挂上阵，艺术家投身其中，成为在信息城市中游荡的标签怪兽。人类通过把时间转译成沙漏，把一个不存在的概念虚构出来，物质化拟态成最终以可数据表达的视觉呈现，这就是创造。

沙漏不停歇，昨天预言了明日。这种置换过程是增殖的，是旧岁月的破坏和新时代的生成，是人类文明不宕机的化学反应堆。从水里爬到农耕快跑进入数字化，人类史是个增熵的过程，这个运行实例不可逆，是无法被杀毒软件终止的进程树。

Creation comes from nothing, from emptiness and nothingness.

Then it is time. Time is the beginning, the foundation of the structure, and the metaphysical motif. Since its birth, there is no full stop, greedily creating new documents, or forming a new building, a bubble Idea, a work of art and building entities in a prophetic form. Using the new bug to fix the last expired devaluation, and filling the supermassive black hole in the M87 center of the Virgo elliptical galaxy in the space-time Lego platter with a never-ending creation until the light is distorted. Light becomes a problem, and the problem is light. Light equals nonexistence, nothingness, and emptiness.

In this Mobius-end snake ring structure, the artist team of Zheng Yiran and Gao Kang remodels the transformation of culture and memory by the historical hourglass, capturing the inspiration in the process of value-adding and evolutionary mutation from the social and personal perspective. Starting from the elements of thinking and logic, artist Inyoung Yeo extracted the framework of life in the complex multi-layered life structure, making it a minimalist geometric form, exploring the topic of human, technology, the control and disillusionment of consumer desire by art. Shawn Park's #TAGMAN is extremely violent, equipped with the debris of social network and the artist self-involvement, becoming a tag monster that wonders in the information city. By translating time into an hourglass, human beings fictionalize a non-existent concept, materializing it into a visual representation of data, which should be called creation.

The hourglass does not stop, and yesterday has predicted tomorrow. This replacement process is proliferating. It is the destruction of the old years and the generation of a new era. It is a chemical reactor in which human civilization never crash. From the primitive to the farming to the digitization, human history is a process of positive entropy. This running example is irreversible and is a process tree that cannot be terminated by anti-virus software.
