In the continuous progress and expansion of contemporary fiber artaesthetic ideas like“Techniques integrated into Objects”and“Techniques evolving into Taoadvocated by oriental ancient sages are still practiced by today’s artists and have produced magnificent works of great ingenuity.
        These poetic works displayed in this sectionwhich present the perfect integration between abstract technique and concrete object and the identification between Heaven and Man, explore the profound content of weaving and reveal how techniques are vitalized and elevated in the field of artshowing the way of loom thinking.Historical works presented have also been previously exhibited in the international biennials of Lausanne.

        The theory “Motivation Springs from the Opposite” by Laozi gives an elaboration about the cause and motivation of the motion and variance of things as well as the law that the two opposite sides are interdependent and can be mutually transformed.

        Such a theory suggests that both positive aid and negative criticism are the revolutionary driving force behind the course of history. On the other hand, “Fan”, instead of meaning  “opposite”, implies “return”, proposing to return to the origin of a thing, to sweep away the dust of history and trace to the root of things. “Motivation Springs from the Opposite” reveals the progressive power entailed by the criticism and experiment of contemporary fiber art movements.

        From ancient rope tying and net weaving, to today’s internet and to the net of interpersonal relationships in the global village, the connotation of the word “net” is continuously updating and expanding. Therefore, it is the voice of the times that “the View under Heaven” should be interpreted by way of net.

      “Heaven” not only means the whole universe, but also represents the shared faith “identification between Heaven and Man” by Chinese people. China’s “the View under Heaven”——“integrating different beauties to create shared beauty”, advocates exploring the connection between different things and letting their spiritual essence and life temperament form a virtual net just as the invisible linear media connecting the whole world through internet links together Heaven and Earth as well as people around the world.

       In this section, fiber art works conceming nature,world and society are exhibited .Through visible or invisible, high-tech or low-tech net weaving, they express solicitude for nature,society and world.

       In this section, other creative fiber art works created through experimental multi-media method which includes the application of sound, light and electricity and digital high technology are also exhibited.
