A change in how people consume contemporary art is under way
人们消费当代艺术的方式正在发生变化
Across all four walls of a vast hall, Vincent van Gogh's blue irises begin to sway. They bloom gently at first, then more violently, as the music builds to a crashing crescendo. Visitors to "Immersive Van Gogh", now showing at a former music venue in San Francisco, sit or stand in socially distant circles on the floor, their bodies bathed in the glow of these animated laser projections.***
一间高大厅堂的四面墙壁上，文森特·梵高创作的蓝色鸢尾花开始摇摆。它们先是柔和地盛开，然后随着伴奏彻底进入高潮，绽放得愈发热烈。“沉浸式梵高展”现在正在旧金山一个由音乐厅改造的场地展出，参观者们坐在或站在地板上用来提示人们保持社交距离的圆圈内，身体沐浴在这些动画激光投影的光芒之中。
"Immersive art" experiences are on the rise, not just in America but across the world. Tens of thousands of people have walked completely dry through a "Rain Room" of streaming water in Shanghai, Melbourne and Sharjah.
“沉浸式艺术”体验不仅在美国走红，而且还风靡全球。在上海、墨尔本和沙迦，成千上万的人从一间不断降水的“雨屋”中穿过，身上却滴水不沾。
These installations share a common trait: an urge by artists to create—and audiences to enjoy—a space in which visitors participate and play. "It's a bit like going into the museum and being in the picture," says Florian Ortkrass, co-founder of Random International, an art collective.
这些装置都有一个共同的特征：（它们构成了一个）艺术家渴望创造、观众渴望欣赏的空间，在这个空间内，参观者可以参与其中、进行互动。“这有点像走进了博物馆，然后置身于图画之中。”兰登国际这一艺术团体的联合创始人弗洛里安·奥特克拉斯如此说道。
The big immersive bang came in 2003, when Olafur Eliasson, a Danish-Icelandic artist, hung a giant "sun" in the Turbine Hall of Tate Modern, under which hordes of visitors happily basked.*** Artists have been experimenting with ambitious installations ever since, enabled by ever more sophisticated technological tools.
2003 年，沉浸式展览取得了巨大成功。当时，丹麦裔冰岛籍艺术家奥拉维尔·埃利亚松在泰特现代美术馆的涡轮大厅里悬挂了一个超大的“太阳”，成群的游客在下面愉快地晒太阳。从那以后，艺术家们开始借助越来越先进的技术工具，不断地试验各种野心勃勃的艺术装置。
"People want to connect to artmaking," said Marc Glimcher, co-founder of Superblue. More profoundly, as humans become more urban and isolated, "we need our artists to help us connect to a sense of awe—to the transcendent and to each other," he adds.
Superblue 的联合创始人马克·格里姆彻表示“人们想和艺术创作产生联系。”意义更为深远的是，随着人们变得越来越城市化、越来越孤独，“我们需要艺术家来帮助我们建立一种对精神世界、对他人的敬畏感。”格里姆彻补充说道。
