LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE hopes to explore the clues in ancient Suzhou's thousands of years of history by visualization data, including rivers, oceans, and land， inviting as the opening exhibition of the West Museum of Suzhou Museum

It follows the deduction of time to abstract the macroscopic scene of future Suzhou development between the screens. It created a movement of geographic information with artistic techniques and SUZHOU's geographic data. The project is based on remote sensing geographic information and HOUDINI's point cloud, It uses an improved cellular automata algorithm to simulate the future evolution of Suzhou land function.

The Suzhou Museum

The opening of the Suzhou Museum's West Wing was marked by the opening of Infinity: The Sequence from Known to Unknown, a contemporary art exhibition curated by Mr Wu Hongliang. The Sequence from Known to Unknown" is the contemporary art section of the new museum.

Under the title of "Ito", the exhibition is based on one of the key symbols of Suzhou, the silk, and a more microscopic perspective than silk, and brings together four renowned contemporary artists from China, Xu Bing, Shi Hui, Cao Fei and Wang Zhigang.

"Mi" as the title. "mi"(糸) is half of "si"(絲, silk) in the font, which refers to thin silk, and means "tiny". In modern life, there are few chances for this character to appear alone, but it is the component of many commonly used Chinese characters. The Chinese characters with "mi" as radical are mostly related to silk, hemp and rope, such as "zhi" (织, knitting), "zu" (组, forming), "ji" (纪, discipline), and "gang" (纲, link). This form of character creation is the epitome of many complex things. It is precisely many such tiny forces that gradually produce the complex and diverse history of civilization, by means of the repetition and superposition of organization modes and time. The conception of the exhibition starts from microscopic view. Through the translation of art and technology, some unique inter-textual relations are established, and a communication system that can be perceived and extended is presented.

The oracle bone script font of "mi" is " ", which looks like a twisted silk flock. When considering the English title corresponding to "Mi", we did not adopt literal translation, but echoed the infinite possibilities created by the repetition and superposition of "mi", that is, "infinity". More interestingly, "∞", the symbol in mathematics which represents "infinite" , is like the oracle bone script font of "mi" rotated 90 degrees. The subtitle "The Sequence from Known to Unknown" is an interweaving process of various elements, and the past entangle with the present-based future.
