Editor: So, this is Lee Chun-Yi’s "A Thousand Peaks and Myriad Ravines" from 2005. The pixelated effect gives the traditional landscape a very contemporary feel, almost like a glitch in the matrix! How do you interpret this blend of old and new? Curator: It's like a memory, isn't it? Fading, pixelating, yet still resonating. The grid imprisons the landscape, yet the landscape still breathes. Perhaps the artist is asking us what we sacrifice when we try to contain nature, or even our memories of it. What do you think? Editor: That's powerful. It makes me reconsider my initial reaction, beyond just the visual contrast. It's about control and freedom. Thanks for your insight! Curator: The pleasure is all mine. Art is a conversation, after all.
