宇宙之旅和群众艺术项目
English 宇宙之旅是由来自耶鲁大学的Mary Evelyn Tucker和John Grim教授制作，一部获奖的纪录片和教育项目。融合了宇宙论、天文学、天体生物学、演化学，宇宙之旅以一种诗意和引人深思的视觉形式，娓娓道来从创世大爆炸至今的宇宙故事。宇宙之旅旨在使观众为孕育地球生命的宇宙历史感到惊叹，进而反思在面临气候变迁和环境铺害时，个体对于一切生命形态的责任。这部纪录片将于十月十日在创新楼的礼堂放映，并在放映前举行和制作者的问答环节。 在放映前，昆山杜克大学将迎来全球首演的群众艺术项目。由宇宙伦理和人工智能研究中心(Planetary Ethics and Artificial Intelligence Lab) 的学生研究员设计，并由大二学生Rudy Lu和Ryan Trombly筹划，这项艺术项目将回溯宇宙历史，并在昆山杜克大学的校园内以北斗七星的形式呈现从创世大爆炸至当代的七个阶段。 为了实现这项艺术项目，我们需要需要大约两百位学生拿着手机或其他的手电筒，以学生宿舍为起点，行经湖心亭和会议中心，最后抵达创新楼。本次游行象征着昆山杜克大学群体，与指向性的北斗和140亿年宇宙演化的一脉相承。在这个艺术项目中，八台相机和一台空拍机将会纪录北斗七星在昆山杜克校园内随着人流的形成过程。 北斗七星在中国文化和科学中有着极为重要的地位。北斗指向北极星，而北极星曾被认为是天绕行的极点。在中国神话中，北斗七星的拟人形象被称为斗母，是一位在道学传统中重要的女神。而在当代中国，北斗也是昆山杜克前校长刘经南博士的心血之作：中国GPS系统的名称。反映于历史、文化、神话、科学等领域，北斗依然持续为人类在宇宙无限的可能性里，指引了意义和方向。 若想参与这个艺术项目，请线上登记，并在十月十日周四下午六点十五分带着你的手机或其他的手电筒到学生宿舍前集合。
