生活力

作品說明：
能量的概念出自於哥特佛萊德•萊布尼茲的「生活力」（拉丁語visviva）想法，它定義於一個物體質量和其速度的平方，它能夠不用表現為物質、動能或是電磁能的方式而儲存在一個系統中。藝術家從自然循環的角度出發，以「波」的形式作為出發，藉由擾動或物理信息在空間上傳播的一種物理現象來連結自然能量與文明能源之間的問題。反思能源的使用與自然系統之間的連帶關係。

Introduction：
Modern definitions of energy began with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’s vis viva theorem, which states that the force of a moving body is calculated as the product of its mass and the square of its velocity. In other words, Leibniz believed that energy is not lost in mechanical, kinetic, or electromagnetic systems during impact, but rather remains contained within them. Li’s work begins from the perspective of natural cycles, taking the form of waves. Through the transmission of physical information or disturbances in space—and the resulting dissemination of material phenomena—Li explores questions of natural energy and cultural resources. In other words, his work reflects on the relationship and connection between energy use and natural systems.
