In this constantly evolving reality, the wave of AI intelligence and virtual technology is sweeping in. As human beings, we are continuously engaged in defensive discussions regarding individual value, self-awareness, emotional interaction, traditional civilization, and future crises. This is an evaluation of intelligent technology, a contemplation of life consciousness, a reflection on collective crises, and a measure of individual worth.

The “real” brain acts as an engine that ignites imagination, radiating the dimensions, depth, and breadth of thought. It also works to measure past civilizations and future fantasies, assess the essence of life and technological creations, and gauge the dimensions of life as well as the needs of the spirit.

The “digital” brain unleashes the convergence of all past human civilizations, opening an "unrestricted state" in the digital universe. It stretches infinitely and transcends the physical domains of ecological requirements, contextual demands, material functions, and presents the aesthetic design of a “digital life form”.

Standing at the crossroads of a new era of intelligent civilization, every one of us is facing the emerging new dimension. Each individual acts as a subtle neuron of the “cosmic” brain. We stand on the hillside of all past human civilization experiences, viewing from the "origin" and surpassing the source and path. We use the "measurement" as a medium for reflection and exploration, the "scale" as a guide for rethinking design orientation, enlightening the ontological value of human beings in the garden of reality and virtuality.

中国美术学院设计艺术学院2023毕业展以“大脑花园”为题，视觉形象以文字符号为主体，线条与块面互相交织，锚点和路径共同勾勒出字体轮廓造型，追溯数字时代独特的的设计符号。自由生长的线条与绚丽的花朵共同构建数字花园，交错的枝干如神经网络盘根错节，在“真实”与“数字”间构思设计的纬度。缤纷的色彩象征着毕业生们迸发的创意，在这场毕业盛会中展现出新生代的美学思考。

The 2023 graduation exhibition of the School of Design at the China Academy of Art, titled "Brain Garden," features a visual representation primarily composed of textual symbols. Lines and blocks intertwine, while anchor points and paths collectively outline the contours and shapes of the fonts, tracing the unique design symbols of the digital era. Free-growing lines and vibrant flowers together construct a digital garden, with interlaced branches resembling intricate neural networks, contemplating design in the dimension between the "real" and the "digital." The profusion of colors symbolizes the graduates' bursting creativity, showcasing the aesthetic contemplation of the new generation in this graduation ceremony.
