In the endless labor in front of electronic screens, people are facing a chronic puzzle of diffused attention. This perplexity comes from poor efficiency caused by a desultory status of Internet surfing. Under the criterion of high-functioning Capitalist standard, the aimless and consistent roaming would be diagnosed as a “mental hyperactivity”, a failure to concentrate. The elimination of this symptom would boost the unification of human mental sequence and the consumption system, as human being adjust to a greater intensity of stimulation and evolved to a new species who become faster, higher and stronger. This transformation is an ever-evolving game, as human search to maximize the result of intensification, till it gets infinitively close to a legend.
　　Unfortunately, the game did not create a miracle. At most of the times, it brings side effects like numbness and depression. This is the ugly truth that this exhibition tries to reveal: the black magic of order and high productivity always bring false impression of happiness and fulfillment. In fact, it manufactures and exaggerates the anxiety for normality, underestimation and apathy for history and contemporary society, and hysteria for the future. Therefore, when seeing a futile roaming experience as a spontaneous revolt, the traps with the appearance of renewal and acceleration would fall, and an addictive and unstimulating game would be aborted.
　　In this exhibition, we object useful plots, complete and clear narration, panorama view or quickly obtainable and recognizable information. On the contrary, the exhibition attempts to create sentimental moods, boring but subtle experiences, awkward embarrassment, familiar scenes and stories without an ending. Nine artists used video, installation and painting to present multiple anti-trapping installations. Their works are about overlapping virtuality and reality, the blurred boundary of memory and fantasy, uncontrollable dreams, subtle perception and the delirious “mental hyperactivity”.
