图形
Graphic
2008
作品《图形》来源于艺术家庄小蔚对于“图形”这一文化命题的思考，通过窑铸手法表达了“图形”在人类发展历史上的重要意义。艺术家认为图形是独一无二的人类杰出才能的表现形式，几乎是世界上最强大的观念，它引发了交流，导致了人类历史上第一次信息大爆炸，甚至在今天的计算机时代，我们还没有发现比图形更好的代号。
Graphics are perhaps the most unique expression of the ingenuity of humanity. Graphics are the most powerful concepts in the world – they promote discourse, and they resulted in the first information explosion in the history of humankind: even in the computerized era of today, we have yet to discover a replacement for graphics.
