This catalogue is published on the occasion of the thematic exhibition and symposium entitled 'Code: Blue: Confluence of Currents' as part of 'The Millennium Dialogue 2006: 3rd Beijing International New Media Art Exhibition and Symposium'. 'Code: Blue' is an international exhibition, which comprises works by established and emerging media artists, each giving his/her own insightful approach to the broad thematic structure, rendering a diversity of interpretations and raising issues imminent and critical to the fluctuating social, cultural and economic circumstances across the world. A subset of the 'Code: Blue' is programmed as "Container Culture", in which a body of projects are created by Chinese new media artists using shipping container as a metaphor as well as transporting vehicle. Inspired by "blue" as transparency, emergence, openness and transcendence, the symposium examines the increasingly interconnected global flux of information in social and technological networks, reflects on the remapping and reconfiguration of cultural landscapes under the new geopolitical and geo-economical constellation of the 21st century. Images of works are accompanied by descriptive passages. With artist biographies.



《代碼:藍色:潮流匯聚》展覽是《第三屆北京國際新媒体藝術展覽論壇》的組成部分。是次活動是一個國際展覽項目,參展者包括許多成名及新銳的媒體藝術家,他們以特有的方式來詮釋展覽主題,為觀眾締造了多元化的藝術體驗,並提出了許多與瞬息萬變的社會、文化和經濟狀況息息相關的重要議題。「集裝箱文化項目」是展覽環節之一。活動中,一批中國的新媒體藝術家用集裝箱作為文化及運輸的載體,創作了一系列的作品。是次論壇以「藍色」象徵透明度、崛興、開放和超越等概念,進而探討社會和科技交流日漸頻繁,進而造成全球資訊日趨融合之趨勢,並探討了在二十一世紀之初,處身於新的地理政治及地理經濟大氣候之中,文化界所面臨的重置及重組壓力。本圖錄亦載有詳細的作品解說,並附有藝術家簡歷。
