: Energy And Civilization- Science & Art · Fusion Future | The 2025 "Energy and Civilization" Exhibition Is About To Open Grandly

2025-09-10

At 10:00 a.m. on September 14, 2025, the large-scale popular science exhibition "Energy and Civilization: Science & Art · Fusion Future", jointly launched by the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the Institute of Energy of Hefei Comprehensive National Science Center, and the Hefei Municipal People's Government, will grandly open at CAFA Art Museum. As China's first museum-level science and art exhibition themed on "controllable nuclear fusion", it brings together top scientists in the field of nuclear fusion and leading figures in the art circle. From an interdisciplinary perspective, the exhibition combines scientific achievements with contemporary artistic expressions, establishing a complete knowledge chain from scientific issues to artistic representations, and then to public cognition.The exhibition focuses on the evolution of energy technologies and the progress of civilization, particularly the breakthroughs in controllable nuclear fusion technology. It comprehensively demonstrates the scientific principles of nuclear fusion by integrating artistic expressions with the construction of a knowledge map spanning three dimensions: history, science, and art. From the historical perspective, it reviews the evolution of energy technologies from fire-making by drilling wood to nuclear fusion, and presents the arduous journey of China's nuclear fusion research. From the scientific perspective, it provides a panoramic interpretation of the principles of controllable nuclear fusion and showcases the course of scientific exploration through precious scientific relics such as EAST and tokamaks. From the artistic perspective, through large-scale installation works like Lightning, Sea, and Building the Sun, it transforms abstract scientific principles into visual spectacles, stimulating viewers' sensory experiences and reflections.The innovative exhibition methods not only achieve the two-way stimulation of scientific expression and artistic cognition, but also allow the audience to intuitively feel the infinite potential of energy through an immersive experience, inspiring people's imagination and reflection on the future energy era. The exhibition will skillfully integrate scientific expression with artistic perception through a number of installation works, inspiring visitors' in-depth thinking and sensory experience of nuclear fusion technology.Installation LightningThe installation Lightning carries forward the design concept of the Tesla coil. It is both a reproduction of Nikola Tesla's great invention at the end of the 19th century and a link connecting history, the present, and the future. This work not only presents the ultra-high temperature environment required for nuclear fusion but also, through intense sounds and collisions of light and shadow, metaphorically embodies the profound driving forces of nature. It engages in a dialogue with nuclear fusion—humanity's ultimate energy dream—both visually and philosophically.Installation SeaThe installation Sea vividly presents a future scenario where seawater is converted into energy through 50 tons of artificial seawater, highlighting the enormous potential of controllable nuclear fusion and demonstrating its value as an ideal ultimate energy source.Installation Building the Sun Building the Sun channels outdoor sunlight into the art museum via optical fiber devices, then projects it through light concentration to create a 5-meter-diameter "artificial sun". This not only reproduces the energy form of sunlight but also echoes the scene of 50 tons of seawater in the exhibition hall, helping visitors intuitively understand the enormous potential of nuclear fusion energy. Through these works, the exhibition breaks away from the form of traditional popular science exhibitions and creates an interactive space for art and science experiences. The exhibition has carefully selected a series of nuclear fusion scientific devices, showcasing the precision and profundity of the physical world and forming a "chain of material evidence for the evolution of civilization". From China's first tokamak device to the EAST device, these precious scientific instruments spanning nearly two centuries link key historical nodes in China's nuclear fusion research, highlighting China's important position in global energy exploration.Since the 1970s, China has launched the magnetic confinement fusion research program, with tokamak becoming the main research path. In the 1980s, China successfully built its first small tokamak device, KT-5, marking a breakthrough in the country's nuclear fusion research. This device not only provided an important experimental platform for basic physical issues such as plasma-wave interactions but also promoted the development of various advanced plasma diagnostic technologies, serving as a core experimental platform for talent cultivation in the field of nuclear fusion. By exhibiting these precious relics, the exhibition enables visitors to deeply understand China's remarkable achievements in nuclear fusion research and its leading position in the global energy science and technology sector. The exhibition features a number of interactive experience installations, such as "Fusion Droplets · Decoding Civilization (Seawater Card)", which is a participatory science popularization activity: each participant is a transmitter of the energy of civilization. Children can personally experience the technological miracle of "from a drop of seawater to infinite energy" through the process of extracting seawater → activating the content of documents → piecing together the energy civilization code wall. At the same time, a series of derivatives related to nuclear fusion and energy will be launched at the exhibition site, allowing visitors to extend their exhibition experience through these products and think deeply about the integration of science and art.This exhibition is included in the series of events for the 2025 National Science Popularization Month, the 2025 Beijing International Design Week, and the 2025 3rd China (Hefei) International Science and Art Week. It will tour cities such as Hefei, Chongqing, Shenzhen, and Shanghai in the future. The exhibition will also cooperate with a number of science education institutions, and in the future, it will reach a wider group of teenagers through forms such as "science and art workshops entering campuses" and "themed cloud classes".Energy And Civilization-- Science & Art · Fusion FutureVenue: 1st Floor Exhibition Hall, CAFA Art MuseumTime: September 14 - October 12, 2025 (Opening Time: 10:00 a.m. on September 14; Opening Venue: Academic Lecture Hall, CAFA Art Museum)Exhibition Working Team:Academic Advisors: Lin Mao, Li JiangangInvited Advisors: Qiu Zhijie, Hu HaominChief Coordinator: Pan ChenghuiAdministrative Coordinators: Wu Yajuan, Wang ShuChief Curators: Wu Zheng, Kong DefengExhibition Directors: Jin Jun, Han WenchaoExhibition Coordinators: Gao Gao, Hai JunCuratorial Team: Zhang Zhaohong, Shen Xingyi, Su Lei, Shen Cong, Chen Yu, Qu Chengming, He QiuyanExecutive Curators: Cai Miaomiao, Liu Xiangqi, Zhou You, Hu Yiwei, Wu Yingqi, Zhu Zixiu, Wu Zhendong, Hu ManluExhibition Coordinators: Wang Jing, Liu XiyanHost Organizations:Central Academy of Fine ArtsInstitute of Energy, Hefei Comprehensive National Science CenterHefei Municipal People's GovernmentOrganizing Units:Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine ArtsScience and Art Joint Laboratory, Institute of Energy, Hefei Comprehensive National Science CenterBig Sun (Hefei) Culture and Technology Co., Ltd.Co-organizers:Plasma Physics Institute, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of SciencesSchool of Nuclear Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of ChinaScience Popularization ChinaDepartment of Sculpture, Central Academy of Fine ArtsSchool of Experimental Art and Technology Art, Central Academy of Fine ArtsSchool of Design, Central Academy of Fine ArtsSchool of Urban Design, Central Academy of Fine ArtsOffice of Scientific Research, Central Academy of Fine ArtsInstitute of Science and Technology Art, Central Academy of Fine ArtsSchool of Design and Art, Beijing Institute of TechnologySchool of Future Design, Beijing Normal UniversityProfessional Committee of Popular Science Culture Industry, China Society for Science and Technology JournalismKey Laboratory of Industrial and Information Technology for Innovation Design in Industrial Manufacturing ArtSupporting Organizations:Beijing International Design WeekBeijing ByteDance Network Technology Co., Ltd.Epson Light & Shadow Research InstituteShenzhen Seetao Optoelectronics Co., Ltd.Beijing Yuanlichen Superconducting Technology Co., Ltd.

From the passing down of fire to nuclear fusion, every energy revolution has profoundly reshaped the relationship between human society and the natural world. Art, as a core way for humans to perceive and express, has always interacted with and illuminated scientific exploration and technological innovation. With the theme of "Energy and Civilization", this exhibition directly addresses this proposition of the times. Through the in-depth integration of art and technology, it inspires people to engage in creative thinking about the future forms of energy, paths of civilization, and ecological responsibilities. In recent years, the Central Academy of Fine Arts has continuously made disciplinary arrangements and invested resources in the field of tech art, enabling art to empower technological innovation and guiding industrial transformation with aesthetics, thus making art an important driving force for social innovation and the shaping of future civilizational forms. The Academy has always firmly believed that the integration of art and technology is a crucial direction for contemporary cultural innovation and the expansion of humanistic spirit. This exhibition is a vivid practice of this concept: it transforms invisible energy into perceptible visual experiences, and achieves unity between the rational thinking of science and the perceptual creation of art through their resonance at the same frequency.Speech by Hu Haomin, Executive Vice President of the Energy Research Institute of Hefei Comprehensive National Science CenterHu Haomin, Executive Vice President of the Energy Research Institute of Hefei Comprehensive National Science Center, noted that the Institute was jointly initiated by the People's Government of Anhui Province and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). With the positioning of "Three Bases and One Repository", it is committed to building a "national team" in the field of future energy technologies such as controllable nuclear fusion, so as to make due contributions to the energy technology revolution. When referring to the concept of "two wings of scientific and technological innovation and popular science" proposed at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he mentioned that scientists and artists had jointly established a Science and Art Joint Laboratory and successfully organized and hosted two Science and Art Weeks. Coinciding with the first National Popular Science Month, this exhibition has seen the Science and Art Joint Laboratory transform abstract scientific concepts into tangible and perceptible experiences. It has infused an artistic cultural expression into the "major national asset" that is the controllable nuclear fusion device, and provided a new paradigm for telling China's scientific stories. He expressed the hope that through this form of expression featuring in-depth integration of science and art, more ideological inspiration could be brought to everyone, the innovative potential of scientific researchers could be further stimulated, and more and greater strength could be accumulated for lighting up the first lamp of fusion energy in China in the future.Speech by Zhang Zhaohong, Representative of the Curatorial Team and Teacher of the Sculpture Department of the Central Academy of Fine ArtsFinally, Zhang Zhaohong, representative of the curatorial team and teacher of the Sculpture Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, shared the story of interdisciplinary collaboration behind the exhibition's preparation: "It took us nearly a year from the initial preparation stage to the final launch of the exhibition. The scientist team brought Tokamak device drawings and fusion principle models, and communicated repeatedly with artists on 'how to turn formulas into visual images'. The exhibition theme consists of two parts: the first is 'Possessing the Ability to Create a Sun', which takes controllable nuclear fusion as its scientific foundation, clarifies that it can fundamentally change the course of human civilization, and endows the exhibition with depth; the second is 'What Will Our Lives Be Like When Controllable Nuclear Fusion Is Realized and Electricity Costs Drop to One Fen?', which corresponds to popular science and science fiction, and provides the exhibition with breadth. In addition, the only digital content in the exhibition focuses on 100 scientific fantasies – these are sci-fi works created with the integration of AI technology and the participation of many children. This exhibition aims to arouse infinite imagination about the future in every audience through the presentation method that integrates science and art."Jin Jun, Director of CAFA Art Museum，act as the host of the opening ceremonyOn-Site Visit02 2025.09.14-10.12Three Dimensions Combined with Scientific Installations: Making Science Perceivable and ComprehensibleThe exhibition focuses on the evolution of energy technologies and the advancement of civilization, particularly the breakthrough progress in controllable nuclear fusion technology. By constructing a knowledge framework from three dimensions—history, science, and art—it comprehensively demonstrates the integration of nuclear fusion scientific principles and artistic expression. With a number of installation works as the core carriers, the exhibition breaks down the disciplinary boundaries between science and art, transforms abstract nuclear fusion principles into perceivable sensory experiences, and guides audiences to deeply reflect on the relationship between humanity and energy.Installation "Lightning": A "Light and Shadow Manifesto" in Dialogue with Ultimate Energy ▏The installation "Lightning" carries forward the design concept of Nikola Tesla's coils from the late 19th century. It is not only a tribute to the great invention of this scientific pioneer, but also connects the past, present, and future of energy exploration. Through the collision of intense sounds and alternating light and shadow, the work not only intuitively presents the ultra-high temperature environment required for nuclear fusion reactions, but also uses visualized and auditory language to metaphorize the deep-seated power of nature—much like the energy form of nuclear fusion in the universe. This allows the audience to engage in a philosophical dialogue with the "human dream of ultimate energy" amid a stunning sensory experience.Device Discharge Performance ScheduleDaily (on opening days): 17:00-17:05, 17:30-17:35Every Friday and Saturday: 19:00-19:05, 19:30-19:35 *The performance will be suspended in case of rainy weather or other special weather conditions.*During the device performance, there will be strong light and loud sound. Please take safety precautions. Elderly people, children, pregnant women, and those with pacemakers are requested to watch under the guidance of staff. Do not enter the sunken plaza.▏Installation "Sea": The "Energy Future" in 50 Tons of SeawaterInstallation "Sea" uses 50 tons of artificial seawater to vividly present a future vision of converting seawater into energy. It highlights the enormous potential of controllable nuclear fusion and demonstrates its value as an ideal ultimate energy source.Installation "Artificial Sun": "Energy Replication" in Optical Fibers|"Artificial Sun" uses optical fiber equipment to channel outdoor sunlight into the art museum, then through concentrated light projection, creates a 5-meter-diameter "artificial sun". This not only reproduces the energy form of sunlight, but also echoes the seawater scene in the exhibition hall, helping the audience intuitively understand the enormous potential of nuclear fusion energy. These interactive installations break the traditional exhibition format of popular science, build a scientific and artistic space that is "visible, audible, and perceptible", and enable the audience to shift from "passive reception" to "active exploration".03 2025.09.14-10.12Scientific Cultural Relics: Witnessing the Development Course of Nuclear FusionThe exhibition also features a special display of several nuclear fusion scientific cultural relics, showcasing the precision and mysteries of the physical world. From China's earliest Tokamak device KT-5 to the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), these physical objects and models record the key historical milestones of China's nuclear fusion research. Since the 1960s, China has launched research on magnetic confinement fusion, with the Tokamak becoming the main research path.These cultural relics not only showcase China's important achievements in the field of nuclear fusion, but also demonstrate how nuclear fusion research has driven the development of global energy science and technology. Through these precious cultural relics, the exhibition presents China's leading position in the research field of controllable nuclear fusion and highlights the profound significance of nuclear fusion research.04 2025.09.14-10.12To help audiences better understand nuclear fusion, the exhibition has also specially designed a number of interactive sessions. For example, through the "Nuclear Fusion Principle Checkpoint Game", audiences can personally operate virtual particle collisions and generate fusion reaction data in real time; meanwhile, the "Seawater Energy Conversion" device helps audiences understand the physical conversion process from seawater to nuclear energy by simulating seawater flow. These interactive sessions not only enhance the ppeal and engagement of science,but also allow audiences to better grasp the basic principles of nuclear fusion through personal experience.Among them, Fusion Droplets · Decoding Civilization (Seawater Card) is a participatory popular science activity: every participant is a transmitter of civilization's energy. Through the process of extracting seawater → activating the content of documents → piecing together the "Energy Civilization Code Wall", children can personally experience the technological miracle of "from a single drop of seawater to infinite energy".05 2025.09.14-10.12Thematic Forum: Energy and Civilization——Science & Art · Fusing the FutureOn the opening day of the exhibition, a thematic forum titled "Energy and Civilization — Science & Art · Fusing the Future" was held simultaneously.

: 50 Tons of Artificial Seawater Brought into CAFA Art Museum | Unlocking the "Ultimate Energy Source for Humanity" Together

2025-09-24

Wave Making Glass, metal, artificial seawater, wave-making machine2000 cm × 600 cm × 30 cm Provider: Big Sun (Hefei) Culture Technology Co., Ltd.At the recently opened exhibition "Energy and Civilization – Science & Art Fusion Future" at the CAFA Art Museum, a massive kinetic installation titled "Wave Making" has become the center of attention. More than a static sculpture, it is a living, constantly surging entity containing 50 tons of artificial seawater. Through its powerful audio-visual language, it vividly portrays a future where humanity harnesses nearly limitless clean energy from the vast oceans to every viewer.This cubic space, constructed from high-strength glass and a metal frame, is placed in the center of the first-floor exhibition hall. Inside, 50 tons of pale blue seawater rise and fall in a regular, surging rhythm, driven by a wave-making machine. It creates an immersive atmosphere that is both serene and full of power. This is no longer the distant sea; instead, it has been "invited" into the art museum, becoming a technological poem that can be gazed upon and felt.However, the allure of "Wave Making" extends far beyond its visual impact. It also serves as a popular science: controlled nuclear fusion uses deuterium extracted from seawater as its primary raw material. Based on the efficiency of a complete deuterium-tritium fusion reaction, 1 liter of seawater can yield 0.03 grams of deuterium, producing an energy output equivalent to that of 300 liters of gasoline or 336 kilograms of coal. With the Earth's oceans containing a total mass of approximately 1.38×10¹⁸ tons, it is estimated that they hold about 40 trillion tons of deuterium. The deuterium extracted from Earth's seawater to sustain nuclear fusion could meet humanity's current energy needs for about 10 billion years. Hence, nuclear fusion has been dubbed humanity's ultimate energy source.The core intention of this work is to create a material metaphor for the future. These 50 tons of seawater symbolize the Earth's most abundant energy treasure trove. Through this most direct form of artistic expression, we hope to inspire public attention and imagination regarding controlled nuclear fusion as humanity's ultimate energy solution.Many visitors lingered in front of the installation. One visitor who came with their child said, "It's truly 震撼！I always thought nuclear fusion was highly sophisticated and far away. But today, looking at this body of seawater and listening to its sounds, my child asked me, 'Will we really be able to use energy from seawater to drive cars in the future?' I think this is the power of art—it allows the seeds of science to germinate in the hearts of the next generation."At the same time, to help visitors better understand nuclear fusion, a water-sensitive card interactive session is also set up next to the installation. Interested visitors can inquire at the museum shop to experience it.Specific instructions:1. Fully submerge the water-sensitive card in water.2. An image will appear; the text on the back provides an introduction to the image.3. Compare it with the literature wall to find the corresponding image on the water-sensitive card, and learn about the function of the image and its significance in the development of energy through the educational materials provided.Wave Making is not only an art installation but also a bridge connecting science with the public. Through the purest of substances—water—and the most cutting-edge energy dream, it reminds us that the solution to humanity's future energy crisis may be hidden within the blue expanse that sustains our very existence.

: Come to CAFA During The National Day Holiday To "Grow the Sun" and "Watch the Aurora"! (Performance Schedule Included)

2025-10-03

The Exhibition Site of "Energy and Civilization: Science & Art·Future Fusion"This autumn, science and art quietly meet at the art museum. Step into the first-floor hall of the CAFA Art Museum, and don’t forget to look up – a "sun" is shining brightly above, waiting to meet your gaze."Artificial Sun" InstallationThis is exactly the Artificial Sun installation. It uses optical fiber equipment outside the building to channel outdoor sunlight into the art museum through 60 high-purity optical fibers. Then, through concentrated light projection, it creates a 5-meter-diameter "artificial sun". The light transmission efficiency of this large-scale installation is as high as 95%.When the sun shines intensely, you will see a "little sun" with clear boundaries and high brightness. When clouds obscure the sunlight, the "hanging sun" inside the art museum becomes soft and hazy, like a warm halo.This not only restores the energy form of sunlight but also echoes the seawater scene in the exhibition hall, helping audiences intuitively understand the enormous potential of nuclear fusion energy, jointly creating a poetic and even somewhat mysterious artistic atmosphere.And not far from this "sun", another magical cosmic scene is unfolding...Aurora Simulation Installation "USTC Aurora-1"The aurora simulation installation "USTC Aurora-1" is China's first laboratory device for simulating auroras on the ground. It utilizes high-voltage plasma discharge to generate high-energy particles, and ingeniously uses spherical magnets as discharge electrodes while simulating the magnetic field on the surface of planets, thereby creating a variety of changing aurora phenomena.The principle of aurora generation on Earth is that the geomagnetic field traps high-energy charged particles from the magnetosphere and solar wind. Subsequently, these charged particles collide and ionize with gas molecules in the atmosphere, ultimately producing auroras. The different colors of auroras are related to the components in the gas; for example, the ionization of nitrogen in the air produces a pink color, while the ionization of oxygen produces a greenish light.This installation reproduces the entire process of aurora generation, which is equivalent to "moving" the phenomenon that occurs in the natural space into the installation. On this basis, the installation also uses transparent quartz glass to make the vacuum chamber, which enhances the presentation effect of the brilliant auroras generated by the discharge.To ensure that every audience member can have the best viewing experience, "USTC Aurora-1" – China's first ground-based aurora simulation installation – will conduct demonstrations at scheduled intervals. Please arrange your schedule properly and be sure to refer to the following performance schedule when coming to watch:We look forward to your arrival, and hope you will gain your own autumn adventure in the collision of art and science at "Energy and Civilization – Science & Art·Fusion Future"!
