The main idea of those group-exhibitions was too show the new generations of Asian Artists with a special selection group show from China, Greater China ( Taiwan, Hong Kong,) South-East Asia (Singapore) and Korea, and to confront them to the new generation of western artists who also have expressed messages and a new vision of art through different channels, new media or social media, narrating a new kind of ‘story of the world’, witness of their generation and mutable identities.

The Title of the exhibition is Position Fixing as a “cursor-witness” of the new contemporary art generation, including videos, movies, short movies,web pages, music, and installations.In practice observations are subject to errors resulting from various physical and atmospheric factors that influence the measurement of distances and angles.
A position fix is calculated by taking into account measurements (referred to as observations) of distances or angles to reference points whose positions are known. In 2D surveys observations of three reference points are enough to compute a position in a two dimensional plane. The artists we selected, all interpret through videos an art sequence related to position, motions, or mapping, so we also decided to focus our exhibition on the different approach related to the Cognitive Response Model in their work, states that receivers can be conscious reactive members in the persuasion process. The main theme of the CRM, is that persuasion isn’t directly caused by messages; but by thoughts which agree with the message – to align attitude of recipient, is to provide messages which build up their intuitional belief system; the receiver requires both motivation and competency to process the information centrally. There are two elementary renditions of CRM: Chaiken, and Heuristic and Systemic Processing Theory. “If the listener is distracted or has trouble understanding the message, he or she will lack the ability to do the central processing”. Something is coming now out of this new-art generation and tools, social media, and video, which is going to transform the cognitive response, resulting in a new position fixing. Here Position is more related to something close to the idea of positioning as the P of GPS in Global Positioning System.
The exhibition is located in SanXuanShi Museum which is inside the Opera House of Guangzhou.
Some of the installations and videos will be also displayed inside the projections room of the Opera House and also outdoor.
