About
Humanity has entered an era of collecting: the internet age, the act of collecting data has become both ubiquitous and unusually simple. However, the fundamental distinction exists between human and Artificial intelligence in this process. We do not merely collect ‘data,’ but rather the human involves assembling beautiful and ephemeral emotions. "Before it fleets", as it fleets attends to things that we might lose and have lost in the rapid change of time. It raises a critical question about how to truly collect and preserve those fleeting experiences. This is especially pertinent, given the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, the pure function of the algorithms is notably influencing negatively on the essence of judgment and the taste. While the use of Artificial Intelligence may interfere in the process of those vital developments, ultimately, we need to delve into the sublime depth of human emotions that the technology can never reach. Each artwork by the five artists in Before it fleets, as it fleets connotes the artist’s subjective meanings, offering personal narratives and inviting audiences to a journey to investigate their own personal memories and emotions in the past.
