王智源認為,如果要達到人類物質與科技之間的和諧,最重要的是學會如何擺脫身體所帶來的束縛。他認為這種和諧可以通過的宗教信仰或精神啟蒙的形式來實現,就如同佛陀所代表的即是人類啟迪昇華的最高境界。智源本意並非要刻意通過佛教作品來強調宗教的內涵啟發,而是將其作為一個平臺來反映他自己或是我們整個群體自我的烏托邦與非理想化社會的存在。
Althoughhis work stemmed from a personal narrative, it has gradually extended itsdomain to issues on human existence. Wang’s work aggressively questions onhuman existence and makes an attempt to graft this onto something mechanicalrather than passively accepting the future.
Sowhat lies ahead for us? Wang is hopeful humans will evolve and adapt themselvesto enhanced science and technology. He sees the future, not as afight to eliminate the negative, a defeat of the dystopia, or feud between goodvs. evil. But rather it about is attainting that state of harmony and balanceof life.
Born in 1980,Korea, Zi –Won Wang graduated from the Chung Ang University with a BA inSculpture in 2005. He proceeded to complete his Masters in 2007. In addition tohaving multiple solo exhibitions in Seoul, Tokyo and Amsterdam, Wang’sworks have been shown in other major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chicago and New York.
