Is what we see really "touched"? [INTANGIBLE]presents a suspended viewing experience: the things in the images are both familiar and distant, as if they were fragments of life, but difficult to be subsumed into any clear system of meaning. They are caught between the real and the imaginary, like compressed memories and reinvented matter, continuously evading the possibility of being named and understood.

The title of the exhibition is borrowed from Merleau-Ponty's reflection on the "absence of touch": when the sense of touch is absent, is vision enough to construct experience for us? Artist Cai Xinming's image processing continuously dissolves material boundaries, recoding the form of reality in the flow; artist Lun Xinyan's virtual landscapes disassemble and reorganize mountains, water mist and fluids, generating unfamiliar "terrainscapes" between the superimposed shadows of the virtual and the real; and artistPaco Cheung creates an unsettled sense of meaning through the fracture of brushstrokes and images, creating an unsettling experience of the absence of touch.

In this juxtaposition, "untouchability" no longer only refers to physical distance, but also to the uncertainty of contemporary vision: real and virtual images, memory and experience, presence and absence. This exhibition reminds the viewers that when the physical sense of touch cannot be reached, we are still constructing a connection with the world through vision, memory and thought. This inaccessibility reflects the way of perception and cognitive structure of the era we live in, and it is in these fractures and gaps that new ways of perception are stimulated.

The world has never truly been touched.

The images we see, the landscapes we remember, may merely be refractions between the virtual and the real. In an era of rampant imagery and ever-evolving virtual technologies, our visual experience has already been reshaped.
