给大家介绍一位以“外星生命体”角度观察地球人类行为塑造自我人格的艺术家，他通过拟态意识来创作作品，打破观者对真实世界既定的认知体系。池磊的作品像是通往未来世界的大门，神秘的形状以及奇幻的光影无意间造就了未来世界语言。

人类不仅能够在自己的生命经验中建立身份和社会位置，还能够参与拟态过程从而超越这些固化的位置和经验，探索更为广阔复杂的线性网络（指神经网络模型）。从本次展览主题的入口开始，我们不难发现池磊的创造力和反叛精神，正像是哲学家德勒兹所强调的“不被规训”的意识形态的典型例子。他不愿意接受任何外部的桎梏，执着地追求自我内心天真的表达和设计未来，追求个体支配的力量，寻找一种开放、流变的创造性存在方式，选择呈现灵动多变的艺术面貌。

展览了展出了他真实的个体生命轨迹，也展出了他自我表达所涉及的社会和文化背景。90年代地下摇滚时期，他的乐队像“反叛洪流”，咆哮着走向世界前方；21世纪初，独立杂志时代，他成为了时尚典范；而后，多元文化传媒兴起时代，他的摄影作品风格成为反主流的摄影范式和他的自由言辞一样引人瞩目；2020年艺术创作时期，数字革命的到来，他的架上作品更加深沉和内敛增加哲学思考，同时数字化艺术途径实现了他脑海里的星际旅行。

他不断地结合不同文化和时间线上的风格及象征符号，他的作品基因散发着深意和灵性，“线性网络”引领观众进入一个真实又不真实的空间，提供独特的艺术通感体验，现在，我邀请你们一起去沉浸在这个“外星人”的天真无邪世界之中。

“人类对未知世界的探索精神与勇气是对存在本身的一种挑战。在自我的每个平行时空中，

我寻求的是一种远离现实的可能性，超越时间和空间的限制，将精神的力量和信念化为永恒，即使在不存在的平行时空之中，这种力量与信念也得以永久存在于人类意志之中，超越时间与空间的束缚，成为人类文明的不朽之基石。“

Humans not only establish their identities and social positions through their life experiences but also engage in the process of mimesis to transcend these fixed positions and experiences, exploring a more expansive and complex linear network (referring to neural network models). From the entrance of this exhibition, it is evident the creative prowess and rebellious spirit of Ray chi, exemplifying philosopher Gilles Deleuze's emphasized ideology of "unbecoming disciplined." They refuse to accept any external constraints, persistently pursuing the innocent expression of their inner selves and designing the future. They seek a form of creative existence that is open, fluid, and presents a dynamic and ever-changing artistic visage.

The exhibition not only showcases their authentic individual life trajectory but also encompasses the societal and cultural contexts involved in their self-expression. During the underground rock era of the 1990s, their band acted as a "rebellious torrent," roaring towards the forefront of the world. In the early 21st century, during the era of independent magazines, they became a fashion icon. Subsequently, in the era of multicultural media, their photography style became an alternative paradigm, capturing attention with their free-spirited expression just like their unconventional discourse. In the year 2020, marked by the arrival of the digital revolution, their artwork on canvas delves deeper, displaying introspection and philosophical contemplation. Simultaneously, digital artistic avenues bring to life the interstellar journeys that exist within their imagination.They constantly combine styles and symbolic elements from different cultures and timelines, and their works emit profound meaning and spirituality. The concept of the "linear network" guides the audience into a space that is simultaneously real and unreal, providing a unique artistic and sensory experience. Now, I invite you all to immerse yourselves in the innocent and pure world of this "extraterrestrial being."

Chinese celebrity artist, rock musician, fashion brand founder, record holder of Chinese contemporary art auction, former Art Director of the legendary music magazine "Rolling Stone," and the Chinese artist with the most collaborations with international brands. His works are collected by international art institutions such as "White Rabbit Gallery, Australia" and "M+ Museum, Hong Kong." 

"The spirit and courage of human exploration of the unknown world present a challenge to existence itself. In each parallel dimension of self, I seek possibilities that transcend reality, surpassing the limitations of time and space. I transform the power of the spirit and beliefs into something eternal, even within non-existent parallel dimensions. This power and belief persist permanently within the human will, transcending the constraints of time and space, becoming the enduring cornerstone of human civilization."
