The Brilliance of One Cubic Meter of Seawater by Liao Yibai is Part 3 of the artist's A Solo Exhibition series. Within the virtual realm of this cubic meter of seawater, a butterfly takes flight, a volcano emerges, and a cloud of smoke drifts serenely by. The genesis of these elements lies in the fusion of algorithms and microchips, seamlessly entwined with Liao Yibai’s personal emotions. This interplay of carbon-based and silicon-based existence prompts profound questions about the necessity of humanity in the future.

Liao reflects on the emotional resonance derived from glimpsing the unbounded imagination within others - whether through admiration, aversion, or critique. If art serves as a mirror to the soul, then digital art has become the defining reflection of our time. As it evolves, it is clear that its importance and limitless potential continue to shape and expand the boundaries of creative expression.
