竹林七賢之棲鸞、歸田、本真、坐忘、君隱、觀心、虛懷(從左至右)

在數(shù)字藝術(shù)和科技藝術(shù)發(fā)展的時代，有兩條道路一直懸置在我們的面前：從計算機(jī)(或游戲)藝術(shù)出發(fā)，是從新媒體的數(shù)據(jù)性質(zhì)出發(fā)，走向元宇宙的虛擬現(xiàn)實的未來。一個是從古代傳統(tǒng)歷史上借助文化的積淀的記憶形態(tài)回溯，反觀新的藝術(shù)與人類之間的關(guān)聯(lián)和呼應(yīng)的可能。申占君以現(xiàn)代技術(shù)之形態(tài)來回看竹林七賢，把人工智能對于現(xiàn)在人類的壓抑，轉(zhuǎn)化成為針對技術(shù)的另一種包含。處在世界又一次不確定轉(zhuǎn)換之際，體現(xiàn)人類再一次試圖完成自我的超越的掙扎。

竹林七賢之棲鸞

竹林七賢系列作品的創(chuàng)作，是對國家文化符號的一種當(dāng)代表達(dá)，能夠引發(fā)共情，產(chǎn)生共識，喚醒人類社會對優(yōu)秀文明的共鳴，這就是文化符號蘊藏在背后的重要力量和穿透力所在。

竹林七賢之歸田

這些創(chuàng)作的推出，與申占君從中央美術(shù)學(xué)院畢業(yè)后進(jìn)入社會從事過創(chuàng)意設(shè)計、影視、雕塑、裝置藝術(shù)、數(shù)字藝術(shù)等多元化的創(chuàng)作經(jīng)歷，及早期在美院學(xué)生時代對繪畫、中國古典文學(xué)及詩詞的熱愛與積淀分不開的。博觀而約取，厚積而薄發(fā)，整體匯聚下，申占君打開一片廣闊的藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作天地。

Seven sages in the bamboo forest/Root-bird

In the era of the development of digital art and technology art, there are two paths that have been suspended in front of us: starting from computer (or game) art, starting from the data nature of new media, to the future of virtual reality in the meta-universe. One is the possibility of looking back on the connection and echo between new art and human beings through the memory form of cultural accumulation in ancient traditional history. Shen Zhanjun looked back and forth at the seven sages in the Bamboo forest in the form of modern technology, transforming the repression of artificial intelligence for current human beings into another kind of inclusion for technology. At the time of the uncertain transformation of the world, the embodiment of human beings is once again trying to complete the struggle of self-transcendence.

The creation of the Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest series is a contemporary expression of national cultural symbols, which can trigger empathy, generate consensus, and awaken the resonance of human society to excellent civilization. This is the important power and penetration behind cultural symbols.

The launch of these creations is inseparable from Shen Zhanjun's diversified creative experience in creative design, film and television, sculpture, installation art, digital art, etc., as well as his love and accumulation of painting, classical Chinese literature and poetry in his early days as a student in the Academy of Fine Arts. Broad view and about to take, thick and thin, the whole convergence, Shen Zhanjun opened a broad world of artistic creation.
