May 22nd, 2021 – July 16, 2021 in Shanghai, China at Xime Japanese
本次艺术展览标题来自法国哲学家让·鲍德里亚(Jean Baudrillard)1981 年的著作 《Simulacra and Simulations》 (《仿像与模拟》)，该著作声称，现代社会的符号学饱和度最终通过一种没有起源或现实的“真实”模型，由此产 生超现实主义。这个小组展览展示了国际上新兴和成熟的艺术家以及不同的主题，幵以 NFT 的形式与美学前卫的 叙事线索串联成一体。 NFTs (又称不可替代的代币)，在鲍德里亚的这一术语概念中，有效地起到了模仿者的作 用，它们替代或消除了原来的符号意义，从而构筑了新的现实。相应地，除了一些更传统的艺术品，每位艺术家还 为 Simulacra 贡献了至少一项 NFT。
The title of this show derives from the French philosopher Jean Baudrillard’s 1981 treatise Simulacra and Simulations, which claims that the semiotic saturation of modern society has generated a hyperreality via models of a “real” without origin or reality. While this group show presents international emerging and established artists and disparate themes, they are united by the narrative thread of the aesthetic avantgarde in the form of NFTs. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, function effectively as simulacra in Baudrillardian conception of the term, in their substitution or elimination of the original and rendered construction of a new reality. Correspondingly, alongside some more traditional artworks, each artist has contributed at least one NFT to Simulacra.
