It's worth mentioning that artist MOses Li specially created the Sanya-themed work "MOses' entry_print ('N18°_E109°')" for this exhibition. Inspired by the geographic data of Sanya, he uses latitude and longitude as the starting point, selecting an angle of the rising sun in the morning as parameter to generate a unique data-driven natural landscape. He observed the complex and diverse possibilities that are difficult to grasp in reality. The artwork showcases the diverse cultural charm and infinite possibilities of Sanya in the digital world, presenting them to the audience.
