This exhibition marks another significant achievement in the ongoing collaboration and academic exchange between CUPL's School of Humanities, Duansheng College, and the School of Experimental Art and Science and Technology Art at CAFA. It represents a valuable exploration of new approaches to scientific communication and the promotion of Chinese aesthetic education. This semester, Duansheng College's thematic research focus on "Virtuality and Reality" has prompted discussions on the interactive relationship between virtual and real worlds and the broader impact of virtual narrative and technology on human culture. The "Reading Soil" exhibition provides a platform for exploring these topics, incorporating not only the core theme of lunar soil but also showcasing new technologies like Augmented Reality (AR). Furthermore, academic seminars during the exhibition will delve into ancient and modern philosophical inquiries inspired by lunar phases and celestial phenomena.
