本展以古今對照詮釋動物在形態、歷史、生態的流轉，並連結到當代生活，從藝術x科技x自然的連結打開認識「藝獸」的新視野。
This exhibition juxtaposes the ancient and modern to explore the changes in the form, history, and ecology of animals, and proceeds to link these to contemporary life using art, technology, and nature, thereby creating a new perspective by which viewers can appreciate artistic beasts.
「藝想獸譜─故宮x新竹241新媒體藝術展」將首度展演故宮的「數位獸譜」，不但以新媒體藝術翻轉院藏書畫中的動物，本次更首度邀請新竹市立動物園的動物成員，一同打造古今x虛實的數位獸園。
This exhibition, Bestiarum Vocabulum: NPM x Hsinchu 241 New Media Art Exhibition, marks the debut of the “Digital Bestiary” created by the National Palace Museum, which employs new media art to provide a fresh perspective on the animals depicted in the painted scrolls of the Museum collections. In addition, this exhibition has also invited the Hsinchu Zoo for a first-time collaboration on a digital zoo that combines ancient, modern, real, and imaginary elements.
本展將透過「按圖索獸」、「藝獸誕生」、「藝想生態」三大主軸，探索故宮的動物圖像從古代的卷軸冊頁轉譯至當代的投影布幕，從畫筆變換至新媒體所累積的形態萬千，如何與當代視角連結，成為藝想天開的「獸譜」。「按圖索獸」以〈坤輿全圖〉為揭幕，一窺清宮對歐洲自然史和動物史知識的傳播與演繹，展出「南懷仁的坤輿世界」擴增實境，以17世紀時代視角的「異獸」，開啟本展序幕；該區特別以新竹市立動物園中的「現代動物」與院藏動物圖像中的「歷史動物」展開創意互動對照。
Through three primary themes, “Finding Beasts with the Aid of Drawings,” “The Birth of Artistic Beasts,” and “Ecosystems of Artistic Imagination,” this exhibition explores the process of how animal drawings on ancient painted scrolls and albums are transferred to modern screens, and how new media can replace paintbrushes to generate myriad creative effects that integrate with modern perspectives to produce a bestiary of phenomenal artistic imagination. “Finding Beasts with the Aid of Drawings” opens with the Kunyu Quantu (Great Universal Map), offering a glimpse of how knowledge of European natural history and zoological history spread in the Qing Court and how this information was interpreted. The augmented reality work, The Universal World of Ferdinand Verbiest, is displayed here, and presents the 17th century view of rare beasts as an opening prelude to this exhibition. This section also includes a collaboration with the Hsinchu Zoo to provide a creative interactive comparison of modern animals in the Zoo with the historical animals depicted in works from the Museum collections.
