umwelt (plural: umwelten; from the German Umwelt meaning "environment" or "surroundings") is the "biological foundations that lie at the very epicenter of the study of both communication and signification in the human [and non-human] animal
" UMWELT：（复数：umwelten；起源德国，意为“环境”或“周围”）是“每个关于人类与非人类动物的交流与意义的研究中心的生物学基础”。
In the age of rapid shifts by technological evolution, agents (human and non-human) began to challenge reality on a novel critical level. The advance in technology and knowledge constantly gave us a better and clear understanding of the world around us. Not anymore. Nowadays, the complexity of the world and concepts, an immense amount of data, and knowledge revealed to us how insignificant our understanding of the world is. If the real world even exists. Nick Bostrom's "Simulation argument" gives a big shot to the most probable outcome - we are living in a simulated reality. "Double-slit delayed choice" quantum experiment reveals that we can change past into million years by making our decision today. Space and time are doomed. Polarization of society exposing more things that we can not agree with our closest species - another person. Machines that we teach today will teach us tomorrow.
在因科技进步而快速转化的时代，智能体（人类与非人类）开始了在新的批判层面挑战现实，科技和知识的进步不断使我们对周遭世界有了更好、更清晰的认知，而这已经是过去式。如今，世界和概念的复杂性，海量的数据和知识向我们揭示了我们对现实世界的理解是多么的微不足道，甚至无法确定这个世界是否真实存在。尼克·博斯特罗姆的“模拟论证”提出了一个大胆但最有可能的结果——我们生活在一个模拟现实，“双缝延迟选择”量子实验显示我们现在的行为对过去产生了影响，时间和空间是注定的。社会的两极分化使我们无法认同我们最亲近的物种——另一个人，今天我们教的机器，明天会反过来教我们。
The world of 7 billion people is the 7 billion realities rendered in our minds. The question of free will is less free. How much of your decision comes from you rather than from the social and cultural background you grow in, conditioning of your mind for corporate and political profit? Nietzsche`s "God Die" started a new era when we failed to believe in the superpower and existence of God. How would we name the day when there is no one you can trust and believe? Even yourselves.
70亿人的脑海中就呈现了70亿个现实，自由意志的问题并不那么自由。你的多少决定是来自于你自己而不是你成长的社会和文化背景，或为了团体和政治的利益而调节自己的思维？尼采的“上帝之死”开启了一个新的不相信超能力和上帝之存在的新时代，我们该如何面对一个我们无法相信任何人甚至自己的时刻。
"Umwelt" is an art exhibition that would like to invite artists to use their superpower. The ability and desire to show the world they live in. The personal experience and perspective show the diversity caused by our limitations in perception and understanding. The ability to show, see and experience other`s reality could be one of our chances to survive, and to the infinite joy of curiosity.
“Umwelt”是一个想要邀请艺术家使用他们的“超能力”的展览，这是一种想要展示他们所生活的世界的能力。个人的独特经历和视角展示了由于我们自身感知和理解能力的局限性而导致的多样性。展示，观察和体验他人的现实世界是我们可能的生存机会之一，也通往了无限的好奇之趣。
