藝術家介紹：洪郁雯

洪郁雯自小旅居各國，受多元文化薰陶的她，對身處環境的人事物總是抱持開放及好奇地的態度，喜歡提出疑問，與社會對話。於海外取得碩士學位後，開始回頭思索根源，並選擇以立體編織作為創作手法，源自於其祖母傳承下來的技藝。洪郁雯將這項傳統技巧與色彩豐富的銅線結合，並加入燈光的作用，讓作品視覺如雲煙般纏繞在空間中，產生陽光透過樹林，或是海浪波光粼粼般的詩意。她的作品常常透過各種媒介探索並實驗不同的可能性，運用豐富的色彩，思考人造現實、消費文化和事物一體兩面的觀點。與人開啟對談，並從藝術中找尋身為人類的使命和意義。

在《21g》中，洪郁雯探討人類透過標準化追求控制的慾望，所失去的質性層面。古希臘神話中，測量人類命運之線的女神拉克西斯，顯示了人對測量及量化的執念。鄧肯·麥克道格爾博士於20世紀的測量實驗中，宣稱靈魂的重量為「21克」。「21」象徵著印度-阿拉伯數字系統，「克」則為公制系統的計量單位，皆為全球通用的溝通和標準化工具，對商業發展至關重要。當今社會對於測量和標準化的執迷常忽視了質性層面，而《21g》邀請觀者反思在量化過程中，可能忽略了生命中不可測量的細緻層面。

Artist Introduction: Julia HUNG

Julia HUNG having lived in various countries since childhood and being influenced by diverse cultures, she chose to create sculptures using the technique of three-dimensional weaving, inspired by the skilled craftsmanship passed down from her grandmother. HUNG combines this traditional technique with vibrant copper wires and incorporates the play of light, allowing her artworks to visually entwine in space, evoking a poetic atmosphere reminiscent of sunlight filtering through trees or the shimmering waves of the sea. Her works often explore and experiment with different possibilities through various media, utilizing rich colors to contemplate the perspectives of artificial reality, consumer culture, and the dual nature of things. Through dialogue with others, she seeks to find her own mission and meaning as a human being through art.

In "21g," Julia explores the desire of humanity to pursue control through standardization and the qualitative aspects lost in the process. In Greek mythology, the goddess Lachesis, who measures the threads of human destiny, illustrates humanity's obsession with measurement and quantification. Dr. Duncan MacDougall claimed in a 20th-century measurement experiment that the weight of the soul is "21 grams." "21" symbolizes the Indo-Arabic numeral system, and "grams" represents the metric system's unit of measurement, both globally recognized tools for communication and standardization crucial to business development. Contemporary society's obsession with measurement and standardization often overlooks the qualitative aspects, and "21g" invites viewers to reflect on the possibility of overlooking the immeasurable nuances of life in the quantification process.
