Thank you for inviting Mr. Zhang Fangcun。My knowledge of science is relatively small，So on this topic and exhibition awe。There is a wise man say，We often talk about the most problems is that we know very little about the issue。So I want to talk much more，The more we know little explanation。

Zhang Fangcun art and science put together to discuss，Because the core of his two letters "BZ" is the name of two Russian scientists，The scientist and his theory I used to know nothing about，But I know the relationship between art and science has a long history。Renaissance，DaVinci generation master craftsman not want to be seen as，And let others call him Artists，Because they feel that they do not want to be artisans，To Science、All aspects of human artistic reach peak。So is a Renaissance era produced the all-rounder，Leonardo da Vinci has been regarded as the West's first medical school anatomy，Because he was a pioneer in human anatomy，That era human anatomy is not allowed religion，So he secretly did dissection。So Leonardo's manuscripts, there are a lot of people anatomy and animals，So he has been recognized as a pioneer in western anatomy。Leonardo da Vinci is a submarine、The original inventor of the use of modern civilization phone, etc.。All these theories and sketches are with him，So his manuscript auction in the world is very expensive。Michelangelo is not only a painter、sculptor，And the city is building a home，Also painted a military offense and defense equipment。It was an era of all-rounder，Science and philosophy of art is no age differentiation，Later, split off from the Western scientific philosophy，Getting smaller，The rapid development of science，Because of its solid technology accumulation special。Later, people have to spend more time studying science。So we say a high school math today，Substantially corresponds to the later Renaissance 17、18The level of a century scientists，In particular as calculus in high school and now have learned，Now high school students mathematical knowledge equivalent to the level of the 17th century mathematician。So science from that era has been accompanied by the development of art。

I read a book before Kant，Investigate the formation of the universe，His early writing，Read more strenuous，A philosopher discuss the formation of the universe，Discussion Astrophysics。There is a writer Goethe called the，He has been exploring the development of optical Western，Explore the relationship between light and color。We know that the development of 19th-century optics directly contributed to the growth of Impressionism，So the study is especially Impressionists Seurat their time scientists is to keep a close interest in optics and synchronization，Seurat's painting is in accordance with the scientific theory of organization，So we can say that science associated strong leading role in Western art，Today Principles talking about perspective、Dissection、These courses are color science，Perspective physics，Anatomy medical，Color is the chemical。That，Chemistry、physical、Biological realism is the foundation of our academic art。so，Most of the artists we know not why，Contacting a perspective and color，Not to pursue the matter behind。Probably ten years ago，Tsinghua University to engage in an art and philosophy of science seminar，Initiated by Lee and organizations，That invited Mr. Wu Guanzhong、Mr. Li Keran，Mr. Wu also based on physics theory of Lee created a sculpture，Now standing in front of Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts；And Lee believes the existence of the universe Li Keran landscape structure。This is a scientist of art awareness and understanding。

I think we artists are actually virtual science，Artists and art critics generally less scientific knowledge，Wang Duanting count the high school level，I could count the primary level，Scientists talk of art，I think also place a question mark，But this does not prevent artists and scientists to appreciate each other、Mutual learning and understanding。Virtual science or，Intellectual Ye Hao Art，We have expanded the art and science of understanding and acceptance，It opens our horizons，I think that is very good。

Specific to Zhang Fangcun Art，I do not know his exact creative process，We do comment，Basically look at the results。We went to the Museum of Art、Museum to see the paintings，Artists are basically born out of the "child"，After the artist's death or self-left "remains"，After the death of the spirit is left of the remains，Because the artist has exhausted efforts for the creation of，Is to own crystal spirit gives us，His soul high in the air at us。So we look at the actual results and traces the artist。under these circumstances，We judge the results and marks the artist，Now there is a problem，The artist's motives and the process is not intended to be a reference factor in art criticism and evaluation。Artists often say that the past is particularly hard，Especially hard，Draw a picture three days and nights without food or drink，His hard work so hard and are not meant his art very well，Worthy of our praise、Recognition? The issues to be discussed，Model workers are the essential attitude of art，But labor model does not determine the art is very excellent art，So it is a moral evaluation，Highly appreciated the artist's will and commitment，It seems to be more reliable than the artist opportunistic morally，At least my conscience is producing some art，Instead of taking tricks、Deceive attitude artistic production，It is certain。

Zhang Fangcun art is known as self-organization，That is the natural production of。By the first question just now，From the starting point，When you are faced with a white cloth，A ceramic，A plain open，Who gave it the first point? That generated art，The first impetus "Hand of God" exist? Or is itself the artist gave it the impetus? The problem is the starting point。second，in the process，Artists did not intervene and intervene? For example, chemists constantly adding new solution，The solution continued painting changed，Otherwise, it soon dried up，Process soon over，That intervention during the artist what extent? Finally, this result，Artist To select the size of the size of the work，To cut、With box、Plus lights，Making it the mystery unfolded。I think in this process，We face a problem in the end is who is the center of the universe、Center of everything，Or as a person should be all things，Modestly retreated behind，Let all things presented itself? Personally, I think this problem for an artist is a big problem，In particular, many of today's artists are subjective，There are many artists gradually give up the right of artists to create，Gradually changed from an actor into a director and even producer，This is the artist's own identity and values ​​of today's self-judgment and self-awareness。

There is a problem，Target and point to science and art are different，Science is from the known to the unknown，Continue to explore future。Its final crystallization experiment can be repeated，Identifiable rules，Knowledge can be passed，The ultimate goal is to change the nature，Conducive to human survival。Science is purely personal preference，Do not change the world，Such as Kant，There is such a type，That's science for science，Is pure science，Most of all philosophy of social welfare，It reached a general knowledge，Knowledge is shared and can be passed。But art is individual departure，It is a hand，Prominent human emotions and consciousness，Reach the human heart，Give people is an emotional、Touched on the visual and psychological fluctuations。These are two types，Art and science until today or two flood，Although sometimes cross and meet，But still points the opposite direction，Which is not to say scientists，Just Yigong Shi Tao teacher mentioned，Our country is Vice President of Tsinghua University，Is the most likely biological scientists won the Nobel Prize，His goal frontier to relate to gene，Issues related to our health and life，So now there is a saying that now, after 00 mostly can live to be a hundred，It contains expectations for the future of science。While ago I saw on television six Nobel Prize winners，Including Chen Ning Yang，They believe that the scientific forefront in the future、The most unresolved mainly biological sciences，Physics has almost solved。

Now our brain mechanisms，Scientists have no explanation，So the only Western science fiction movie is basically about the expansion of the brain，For example, "Inception"，Something about the physical and mechanical basically solved almost the same，So the West is at the forefront of biology，And biology won the most Nobel Prize。

So I think the problem here involves in terms of the starting point and we are faced with a choice motivated，In the process, we have an intervention、Possible interference and transitions，In terms of results we get a visual experience of reconstruction or a transcendent vision of things。South Stream in the original ink in the creation of a 3D，That is the conventional eye can not see，It requires us to look at another aspect of the conventional visual，Because really our eyes can not see things，Such as infrared and ultraviolet，We are invisible to the naked eye。

Zhang Fangcun artistic sense is not beyond our regular eyes felt，Is an ecological beyond the limits of experience。The question now is his creative process is that we can not see，But his results to see us get in front of us is visible，That would be more contradictory，We are ripe with past repeated and varied visual experience to judge him yet，Or should establish a criterion to follow him according to his kind of art? Personally, I think this problem is a problem for us。For example, the image，We routinely determine if the abstract image，We believe that the black and white、Point line、Point and the surface，This is our existing knowledge，Like a song, "Do not ask where I come，My hometown in the distance. "，That we can not ask what it is、What method，Not important，We finally see this thing。There is a regular，He has his own special means，For example, ultraviolet radiation to render，Mineral pigments such as the use of certain，We are going to see in a dark room，Or we have to look at under the microscope，This is another topic，This for us is a challenge。

Zhang Fangcun exploration is not art itself，Exploration is a natural body，But to explore the natural growth of the organization and，When it comes to art is our traditional concept of art、Definition and standard，That brought his stuff is a visual experience of reconstruction or repeat a visual standard，The problem I think is worth exploring。I hope this Art，Both to express his inner mysteries of nature，It can arouse people's subjective feelings，This combination of both，Is the science and art combined with so-called same thing。But in the visual and psychological experience for the senses，Look what feelings abstract art，What fluctuations。So he explored the universe is an image of the body or the body of the universe，If the universe is the body，We are not scientists，We now do not take into account，He gave us the universe may be body image，But this cosmic body image and our common social image is not the same，So we may have a new awareness of his feelings and cognition。I ended up with a familiar word，"one flower one World"，Zhang Fangcun is "a painting a world"，Inside the body, including the exhibits worthy of us to explore。
