离散空间
或者离散几何空间
是一个聚散涨落的空间
放在空间中

Discrete Space
By WH studio
Discrete space
or discrete geometry space
is a space of dispersion and fluctuation,
placed in the space.

层层嵌套的结构
向内凝结为能量的核心
边长4.8-2.4-1.7-0.3-0.1米
的立方体与立方八面体
从空无中
划出一块临时的区域

A nested structure
to condense inward into the core of energy.
With side length of 4.8-2.4-1.7-0.3-0.1 meters,
Cubes and Cubic Octahedra
define a temporary area
from the entire emptiness.

跨进这个区域的你
是能量的解封人
隐约中乐声浮动
看不见的绳索绷紧了
被封印在立方体中的星体
表面如银瓶乍裂
放射出内部的七彩光芒

Stepping into this area,
you are the person who unlocks energy.
Faintly, the sound of music floats
and invisible rope tauted.
The surface of a star sealed in the cube
cracks like a silver bottle,
emitting internal colorful radiance.

富勒的宇宙能量平衡态
被打破
To Be or Not To Be
是否躬身入局
这真是个问题
而存在者无法选择
只能进入那个五彩斑斓
令人激动又忧伤的世界

B. Fuller’s cosmic energy equilibrium state
have broken.
To Be or Not To Be
Whether to bow down and enter the game
is really a problem.
But the beings without choice
can only enter that colorful place,
the exciting and melancholic world.

星体内的空间如轻柔的襁褓
缓缓闭合
包裹着曾经年幼的你
星光微微闪烁
摇曳着缥缈的曲调
世界似乎越来越远

The space within the star
is a gentle swaddle.
Closing slowly,
it wraps you as a child in the past.
Starlight flickers slightly,
swaying the ethereal melody.
The world seems to be getting farther
and farther away.

在寂静的等待中
有什么东西在潜滋暗长
只一瞬间
决定性的时刻突然来临
宇宙重新膨胀
时空离散
鲜花怒放
鼓乐激昂
镜中无数的世界旋转展开
惊心动魄
如春天里无数个诗人全部复活

Something is growing secretly
beneath the silent waiting.
In an instant,
the decisive moment suddenly arrived.
The universe started expanding
with spatiotemporal dispersion.
Flowers bloom luxuriantly.
The beat of drum is so passionate,
heartbreaking and soul stirring.
Countless worlds start spinning and unfolding in the mirror，
like countless poets resurrected in the spring.

然而笙歌注定渺然
宇宙终将冷却
幻影消隐
一切回到起点
还是奇点？
那无光无色无声无味的世界

However, hymn is destined to be insignificant.
The universe eventually cools down.
Phantoms vanish in the dark.
Everything returns to the starting point
Or singularity?
A world without light, color, taste or sound.

它来自可言说的
与无可言说的思考
它是所有思考中
最简单那个
简单到最合适的程度

有很多事
与它有关
它是世界的小小投影
巴什拉说的缩影
“是巨大之物的住所之一”
他声称
“任何宇宙都凝聚在一个核里”

It comes from thinkings that can be expressed
and something beyond words.
It is the simplest one
in all the possibilities,
simplified to the most appropriate level.

There are many things
related to it.
It is a small projection of the world,
a microcosm as G. Bachelard said.
“One of the residences of a giant object”.
He claimed that
“any universe is condensed into a nucleus”

还有马列维奇
在相对论问世那年
艺术家向未来主义告别
激烈地宣告至上主义的来临
在科学带来的颤栗
与客观世界的崩塌中
发誓捍卫超越表象的至高无上的
人类的感受

And K. Malevich
in the year when relativity appeared,
bade farewell to futurism,
Intensely proclaimed the arrival of supremacy.
With the trembling of science
and the collapse of objective world,
the artist swore to defend the pure and supreme
human feelings.

如今，在这人文主义的黄昏
它以钢铁为画框
向百年前的战士致敬
向每一个坐标轴投影
它都会成为马列维奇的黑色正方形
画中的空白与实体同样重要
只是增加了一个维度而已

然而它没有停留在
马列维奇的非具象世界
在本应空无一物的画框中
滋生出蒹葭苍苍
轻轻摇曳
这不是一个无生命的世界
虽然生命如此脆弱
但我们是“会思考的芦苇”

Now, in this dusk of humanism,
It is framed with steel and
salutes to the warrior of a century ago.
Projected along each coordinate axis,
it will all become Malevich’s black square.
Blank space within frame is equally important as entities,
regardless of the additional dimension.

However, it did not stop at
Malevich’s non-objective world.
In the frame that should have been empty，
lush plants sway and announce
it is not a lifeless cosmos.
Although too fragile,
we are the “thinking reeds”.

如何告诉帕斯卡
400年后我们在思考什么呢？
世界是连续
还是离散的？
具身的现实与虚拟的世界
可爱的电子羊是否活在仿生人的梦中？
加速膨胀的技术许诺的是
一个去中心化还是彻底中心化的世界？

还有看不到的
数学的空间
离散几何的逻辑演绎
支撑了表皮的运动
它也是所有镶嵌图形中
最简单那个
简单到最合适的程度

How to tell B. Pascal
about what are we thinking 400 years after him?
Is the world continuous
or discrete?
When reality and illusion become confused,
does the cute electronic sheep live in the dream of bionics?
Is the accelerating technology promising
a decentralized or completely centralized world?

In the invisible space of Mathematics,
the logical deduction of discrete geometry
supports the continuous movement of kinetic surface.
It is also the simplest one of all the tessellations,
Simplified to the most appropriate level.

当然还有很多事
与它有关
最重要的应该是
几个年轻人
将近两年的艰苦劳绩
严寒酷暑
春华秋实
青春的汗水与钢花飞溅
滋养了这转瞬即逝的世界

它在那里
……
有很多事
与它有关
但它只是它自己

There are still many things
related to it.
As the most crucial fact,
several young people
worked hard on it for two years.
With bitter cold and scorching heat,
the sweat of youth and the spray of molten steel
nourished this fleeting space.

It’s there.

……
There are many things
related to it,
but it’s just itself.、
