2023年WATERLICHT光艺术作品展：相信改变的力量

“WATERLICHT是创造更美好未来的一个催化剂。为大家展示与水共存时，水柔弱的一面，以及其爆发出巨大威力的一面。”

“WATERLICHT is an activator to create a better future. Experience the vulnerability and the power of living with water.”

- Daan Roosegaarde, artist

WATERLICHT 是艺术家 Daan Roosegaarde 以艺术化的方式打造的一个关于水的力量和诗意的梦幻场景。作为虚拟洪水，WATERLICHT 展现了水位可能达到的高度。与其说是艺术创作，WATERLICHT更像是一次集体体验，提醒我们水创新的重要性和气候变化对地球的影响。

WATERLICHT is a dream landscape about the power and poetry of water by artist Daan Roosegaarde. As a virtual flood, WATERLICHT shows how high the water level could reach. WATERLICHT is a collective experience to remind us of the importance of water innovation and the impact of climate change.

WATERLICHT 的比利时首展将于 2023 年 9 月 29-10 月 1 日于马斯梅赫伦购物广场举行。

The Belgian premiere of WATERLICHT Maasmechelen will be exhibited on 29, 30 September and 1 October 2023 (from 20.30 to 23.30).

该艺术作品曾荣获2020纽约IESNYC奖、2019全球未来设计奖、LIT 2017美国年度照明设计师奖、中国最佳光环境设计奖。

WATERLICHT 是通过 LED 和光学透镜的组合，在风雨变化的影响下创造出不断变化的虚拟洪水景象。该艺术创造营造了一种集体体验，提醒我们水创新的重要性和气候变化的影响。

世界巡演结束后，WATERLICHT会最终回到荷兰，这个艺术创作开始的地方。 虚拟洪水描绘了作为联合国教科文组织世界遗产地--荷兰卢夫斯泰因城堡( Loevestein)在洪水面前的脆弱，并引起人们对气候变化导致海平面上升的关注。 到 2100 年，海平面可能上升 2.5 米。

Following the world tour, WATERLICHT returned to the Netherlands. The virtual flood portrays the vulnerability of the UNESCO World Heritage site Loevestein Castle, and draws attention to rising sea levels as a result of climate change.The sea could rise 2.5 metres by 2100.　

之前该作品在德国“Future 21” Waterlicht 巡展时，强调了人类面临的永恒的挑战。由于煤炭开采，当地鲁尔区已下沉达 25 米。如果不是靠持续抽出地下水，该地区的大部分区域将被洪水淹没，并形成长达 90 公里的湖泊。人们不仅需要对如何提取地下水进行深入研究，而且还需要对如何利用地下水的热量来产生能量进行深入研究。

The previous WATERLICHT Germany at Future 21 highlighted the challenges of eternity. As a result of coal mining, the Ruhr region has sunk by up to 25 meters. Without the constant pumping of groundwater, large parts of the region would be flooded and a lake of up to 90 km in length would be created. Intensive research is being conducted not only into how the water can be extracted but how the heat of the water from underground can be used to generate energy.

WATERLICHT 最初是为荷兰水务局在卢夫斯泰因城堡(Loevestein)展出，已经先后在德国Future 21 Oberhausen、超过 60,000 名游客的阿姆斯特丹博物馆广场、伦敦Lumiere、纽约联合国总部、Nuit Blanche 巴黎、UNESCO Schokland、阿夫鲁戴克大堤、鹿特丹美术馆、多伦多 Bentway、迪拜贾米尔艺术中心、纽约哥伦比亚大学和澳大利亚弗里曼特尔双年展等进行了全球巡展。

WATERLICHT was created as site-specific artwork for Dutch District Water Board Rijn & IJssel, Loevestein Castle, Future 21 Oberhausen, Museumplein in Amsterdam with more than 60.000 visitors, Lumiere London, United Nations in New York, Nuit Blanche Paris, UNESCO Schokland, the Afsluitdijk, Kunsthal Rotterdam, the Bentway Toronto, Jameel Arts Centre Dubai, Columbia University New York, and Fremantle Biennale Australia.
