Exhibition description in English/Chinese
Symbiosis 3.0: Artificial Flavor continues the series from Symbiosis 1.0 (Prague House, Brussels) and Symbiosis 2.0 (Hong Kong Arts Centre, 2023, in collaboration with the Consulate General of Czechia and as part of Art Basel Hong Kong’s program). The 2026 edition, developed with the Consulate General of Czechia and SATA (Society Art Technology Asia), Berlinskej Model, Studio TIO, unites Czech, Hong Kong, and international artists to foster cross-continental dialogue, and enrich the local art scene.
Subtitled Artificial Flavor, the exhibition examines the symbiosis between natural phenomena and human-made artifacts. Drawing from the food industry—where synthetic compounds mimic or replace natural tastes—the project explores how artificial systems (polymers, algorithms, urban fabrics) permeate creativity, and erode boundaries between organic and engineered.
In this era of technological saturation, human-machine collaboration manifests as a cyborg condition: a reciprocal infusion where technology augments human perception and agency, while human intention, emotion, and culture imbue machines with expressive “flavor.” No longer mere tools, machines become co-authors of meaning, contributing precision, and generativity to hybrid realities.
The resulting artworks—hyperreal forms, performative bodies, and critical urban interventions—embody this mutual enhancement, challenging distinctions between natural and artificial. Symbiosis 3.0: Artificial Flavor presents the cyborg not as future speculation but as a lived, sensorial reality of continuous co-creation.
The exhibition is co-organized by 101080 HHH, the venue partner.

本次展覽由Richard Bakeš（捷克）與黃詠珊（Flyingpig）共同策劃，聚焦於運用人工合成材料進行創作的藝術家，涵蓋聚合物、天然物料、都市現成物及數位物質性等媒介。參展藝術家包括Lenka Glisníková（捷克）、Miroslava Večeřová（捷克）、Lenka Bakeš（捷克）、Stanislav Zábrodský（捷克），以及Ruba Al-Sweel（沙特阿拉伯）、Debbie Ding（新加坡）、曾家偉（香港）、廖家明（香港），並特邀藝術組合「Foreseen Agency」（香港） 成員陳家智與黃詠珊共同參與。

「共生 3.0」藝術計畫，延續自布魯塞爾布拉格之家的首屆「共生 1.0」，並承繼於香港藝術中心展出的第二屆「共生 2.0」之。該屆展演獲捷克總領事館支持，並納入巴塞爾藝術展香港展會之週邊項目。2026年的計畫再度與捷克總領事館及SATA，聯同Berlinskej Model，Studio TIO攜手籌備，共同策劃匯聚捷克、香港及國際藝術家，旨在促進跨洲對話，豐富本地藝術生態。

「人工風味」，旨在探討自然現象與人造物之間的共生關係。展覽靈感源自食品工業中以合成化合物模仿或取代天然風味的現象，進而探索人工系統（聚合物、演算法、都市肌理）如何滲透創造領域，並消融有機體與人造物之間的界限。

在科技浸潤一切的時代，人機協作呈現出「賽伯格狀態」：技術擴展人類的感知與能動性，同時人類的意圖、情感與文化亦為機器注入具表現力的「風味」。機器不再只是工具，更成為意義的共同創造者，以精確性與生成力，參與構建混雜的現實。

展出的作品涵蓋超現實形態、身體表演與批判性都市介入，皆體現這種相互增強的共生關係，挑戰自然與人工的傳統分野。「共生3.0：人工風味」呈現的賽伯格，並非未來臆想，而是當下持續共同創造、可被感知的現實體驗。

展覽由場地合作夥伴 101080 藝術空間聯合主辨。
