Exhibition text:

Fusilli Pot is honored to announce the launch of the second exhibition "Second Gear" in Nanjing Space. The exhibition showcases the works of 11 artists, jointly building the concept of "low altitude". The discussion of low altitude relative to high altitude in physics explores the living radius of human homes and all things on Earth. In terms of airspace, low altitude refers to the flying area below 1000 meters. We have made a more recent and extensive annotation using the English name of the exhibition: Second Gear, which means the second gear. 

In a state of starting to climbing, corresponding to the exhibition theme of "low altitude". The "survival entity" in low altitude is influenced by the evolutionary environment and develops different series/systems of development, variation, conflict, extinction, and knowledge paths.In the field of embryogenesis, the environmental control theory of low altitude "survival body" revolves around the "embryonic sequence", which is the path that embryonic development must follow, and points out that the environment is the one in the process of embryonic development. The genetic complex emphasizes the fact that genes respond to environmental stimuli and survival choices are made based on these "reactions", as they interact with each other. The evolution, migration, gaming, struggle, and death of human homes and non-human life forms at low altitudes revolve around the population genes of life. Of course, we are still repairing, regulating, and fission in this project, due to the need for balance of existence and the unreachable dimension of "emergence" weaving. 

Finally, we introduce Michel Foucault's further explanation of the exhibition's "low altitude": humans are just a crack in the order of various things (in historical development), equivalent to "a simple wrinkle in our knowledge.". So the survival object we described in the "low altitude" is still worth remembering: this crack and this fold are generated from a very large but well organized burst sound, which is constructed by the entire life world.
