作品自述 / Artist text:
传统资源的有限性恐怕是维持这个世界不平等的一大理由。既然在现有的条件下，进行更公平分配的谈判尚困难重重，改变这一现实也相当程度上需要寄望于发现新的资源。有理由相信，地外空间的探索多少也肩负了这一使命。尽管这种探索能力的发展才刚刚起步，但在流行文化的层面，人类的征程却早已到达了宇宙和时间的边缘，在文字和影像中演绎了无数激荡人心的史诗篇章。由此可见，探索地外空间的事业集合了两类差异巨大的经验，这启发了我动手实施一个“中间路线”的方案。互联网提供了美国宇航局绘制的火星地图，我将它印制在了一个飞镖盘大小的软木饼上，挂上墙面；再借助现成的飞镖，抵达“火星”表面，看起来像是无可辩驳地宣称占领。至于占领那些已经被命名了的“地盘”，依据国际政治的经验，需要一个听起来比较正当的理由。于是我遍寻了为全球玩家生产的飞镖翼，从中找到了好几种生命形式。巧合的是，它们都多少和美国流行文化有些关联。

The limited nature of traditional resources is a major reason of sustained inequality present on the face of this earth. Given the conditions we have to deal with, the process of trying to hold more equal negotiations is fraught with difficulties. To a certain degree, if we wish to alter this reality, we must place our hopes on the discovery of new resources. We have reason to believe that the weight of this mission is carried by the project of extraterrestrial space exploration. Although the development of our exploration abilities is only just kicking off, mankind's journey has already arrived at the furthest reaches of space and time on the level of popular culture, inferring numerous stirring works of epic on our retina. Hence, we see that the undertaking of extraterrestrial space exploration has brought together two broad, vastly differing experiential categories. This incited me to take action and carry out a proposal for a "middle path". The internet provides me with map schematics drawn up by NASA of the planet Mars, which I transposes onto a piece of corkwood in the size of a dartboard and mounts onto the wall. Next, I use existing dart to reach on the “Mars” surface, seemingly hinting at an indisputable declaration of occupation. According to previous experience in international politics, a more or less legitimate sounding reason needs to be given when occupying "territories" that have already been named in the past. Hence, I sought high and low for dart wings produced for dart players around the globe, a search that led me to find several kinds of life forms. Coincidentally, they all somehow relate to American popular culture.
