Photography, a visual art born in the 19th century, has undergone countless transformations and reinventions over the past two centuries. From the early physical recordings based on silver halide processes to the new generative forms driven by digital technology and artificial intelligence today, its evolution resembles the variations in music. Its "unfinishedness" not only represents the infinite possibilities of artistic and technological development but also signifies the ongoing changes in the present. With the rise of AI-generated imagery, the boundaries of photography have been further expanded. This not only alters the creative process at the technical level but also sparks discussions on the authenticity of images and artistic expression. In a paper I wrote in 2023, I delved deep into this new variation, which emerged in the context of the AI era and constitutes the second authenticity crisis in photography. In this exhibition, this variation is presented in an intuitive manner. Meanwhile, these changes compel us to rethink the definition of photography. When images are no longer solely dependent on the light and matter of the real world but can be generated by codes and algorithms, can they still be considered "photography"? Is artificial intelligence becoming a new artistic collaborator? How are the boundaries between the virtual and the real blurred or even dissolved in images? These questions permeate every corner of the exhibition, inspiring the audience to reexamine the meaning and future of images from the intertwined perspectives of technology and art. "Unfinished Variations" takes the evolution of photographic art as its main thread, focusing on multiple explorations of artistic expression and visual effects. Through various means such as classical processes, AI-generated imagery, immersive images, and experimental videos, it showcases the diversity and possibilities of photography in different technical contexts. This exhibition is not only a reflection on the history of photography but also a vision for its future development. In this dialogue between art and technology, tradition and the future, the audience is not merely a bystander but also an experiencer, thinker, and explorer. Through different forms of photographic creation, it inspires the audience to ponder how technology and art blend and how this blend influences our understanding of images, art, and even the world. The exhibition brings together many outstanding young video artists. As witnesses and explorers of this era, their works not only embody the innovation and exploration of video language but also demonstrate the thinking about the relationships between technology and culture, the individual and the collective, as well as history and the future. Therefore, this exhibition is not only a concentrated display of video art but also an opportunity for ideological collisions and academic exchanges. Through multi-dimensional dialogues, it encourages the audience to reexamine the essence and future of images, seeks new directions for video art amidst technological and conceptual changes, and at the same time highlights the spirit of young creators who dare to explore the unknown and the declaration of the diverse development of video art in the new era.
