我发现远古的智者非常冷静,他们具有智慧能够修复脑神经线的失衡,从而能够跨越左右脑的鸿沟并产生一种光电作用。

当这个远古智者的脑电波与观者的脑电波达到一致,产生频率共振时,就是这个作品本身。

                                                                                                           ——郑国谷

 

《智者的脑神经线》系列基于郑国谷在长期探测人类意识活动影响根源的过程中所产生的体悟,艺术家将无形的意识活动视为能量活动的一种,将能量活动的光感呈现为图形,从而转换成可令第三者直接感知的某种精神肖像。所谓智者,与其说是具体的⼈物,还不如说是某种精神⼈格(或⼼灵事实)的体现,这些向意识空间的测光过程,也是郑国⾕通过“智者的脑神经线”系列向我们分享智慧学习的过程。观看远古智者的脑神经线,可以体会他们如何跨越左右脑的鸿沟并产⽣⼀种光电作⽤,从⽽有可能净化我们业已蒙蔽的对⽣命信息的感知,由此可以追踪意识能量在历史中的不同显现和在人类文明过程中的自然规律。

作为空间的模型,U形脑神经线对应了⼀个隐藏在我们意识活动的能量运作系统,这个⾯看似是由⽆数个⼆维的线组成的,转⾝就变成⼀个体。犹如DNA双螺旋结构,图形所趋向的空间既⾮⼆维,也⾮三维,⽽可能是⽆限维。


I found that sages were usually very calm. They had the wisdom to deal with the imbalance of the brain nerves, and they were able to bridge the gap between the left and right brains and produce a certain kind of photoelectric effect.

And artmaking to me is to reach the moment when the brainwaves of the sages synchronise with those of the viewers and when the frequencies of the two resonate with one another.

                                                                                                      – Zheng Guogu

 

The Brain Nerves of The Sage series is based on the understanding coming from Zheng Guogu’s long-term observation of the fundamental influences on activities of the human consciousness. The artist sees the consciousness’ formless activities as one genre of energy, and represents the photic qualities of movements of energy using images in order to transform them into paintings directly perceptible to a viewer as an alternative spiritual portrait. 

A sage, in the context of Zheng Guogu’s artistic practices, is not so much a particular figure as a manifestation of a certain spiritual personality (or spiritual facts), rather, it is a process of exploring the internal lightness towards a space of consciousness, as well as a process of acquiring wisdom. This is what Zheng Guogu wants to share in the series of The Brain Nerves of the Sage. By observing the brain nerves of the sage, we may understand how they transcend the gap between the left and right brains and how they consequently produce a kind of photoelectric effect. We may be able to perceive and sense the messages from lives around us that are once blocked and restricted. From here, we can trace the various appearances of consciousness energy in history and the natural laws of the progress of human civilizations.

The U-space model appeared in The Brain Nerves of The Sage series is drawn from the U-shaped cranial nerves that correspond to an energy operating system hidden in our conscious activities. It seems to be composed of a countless number of two-dimensional lines that can be turned into a three-dimensional body. Like the double helix structure of DNA, the space may be infinite-dimensional.
