To enhance and support the influence and recognition of young artists, especially Chinese artists, in the international cultural and artistic fields, the UK Tsinghua Alumni Association (UKTA) plans to host the inaugural Tsinghua Alumni London Art Exhibition in the fourth quarter of 2024. This exhibition aims to utilize the UKTA as a platform to connect resources and opportunities for alumni in the UK, allowing them to showcase their artistic works and highlight their talents and innovative spirit. This is not only an opportunity to display individual talents but also a platform to promote interaction among Tsinghua alumni from diverse backgrounds. Alumni who wish to expand their professional networks and artistic horizons are encouraged to sign up for this opportunity!

We encourage every talented alumnus to actively participate, whether by exhibiting their works or by participating in curating and opening events. This alumni exhibition is not only an art display but also a new attempt to engage more alumni in UKTA’s cultural and artistic activities through the exhibition of their works. This, in turn, will enrich the content and forms of the association’s activities, expanding the boundaries of UKTA’s events.

We hope to enhance connections among alumni, enrich the artistic and cultural experiences of alumni in the UK, and jointly uphold and promote the traditions and values of Tsinghua through this grand event.

Exhibition Theme

Ubiquitous Technology: The Science of Aesthetics

Art history has always been closely intertwined with the history of technology: from the replacement of egg tempera with oil paint, allowing Renaissance artists to slow down and make corrections, to the invention of the paint tube, which made outdoor painting possible and gave rise to Impressionism, and more recently, to the application of blockchain technology, which resolved copyright issues in digital art and facilitated bold experiments in new media. These examples are countless. Artists with a scientific mindset, most notably Leonardo da Vinci, not only utilized technological advancements for artistic creation but also became part of the innovation. Leaving familiar grounds, seeking breakthroughs and disruptions, and creating different futures are common traits of both scientists and visionary artists. However, the future envisioned by artists is also more beautiful.

Living in a modern world where technology is ubiquitous, it is not hard to notice how scientific methods, materials, and thinking patterns permeate and influence our visual world, its forms, and styles. Technology provides artists with a powerful tool to explore and develop their artistic ideals and visions, elevating aesthetic judgment to a new level—this in itself is a creation of beauty.

This exhibition will showcase how science and technology assist artists in creating their works and how contemporary aesthetics have evolved from technological interventions.
