20世紀著名批評家瓦爾特?本雅明（Walter Benjamin, 1892-1940）在《機械復制時代的藝術作品》一書中曾經這樣寫道：“在漫長的歷史進程中，人類的感知方式隨人類的整個生活方式的變化而變化。人類感知的組織方式以及它賴以形成的媒介不僅取決于自然過程，也取決于歷史境況?！?016年，“圖像的共生2016：濃園中國-新西蘭當代藝術交流展”正是在本雅明所說謂“機械復制時代”的背景前拉開了展廳的大門。
The famous critic Walter Benjamin of 20th century once wrote in the book Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, “in the long course of history, human perception changes with human life. Human perception and its formation depends not only on nature, but also on the historical circumstances." It is in the so-called mechanical reproduction era stated by Walter Benjamin that Nongyuan China-New Zealand Contemporary Art Exchange Exhibition 2016 comes out.

作為一個系列展覽，“圖像的共生”從第一屆（2012年，濃園天藝美術館）到第二屆（2014年，濃園天藝美術館），再到第三屆（2015，濃園國際藝術交流中心）已經連續成功地舉辦了3次。我在第一次展覽中就將“圖像的共生”界定為“藝術共生”，其內涵包含著多個層面與內涵。我們所希望呈現的是基于不同文明背景與生存體驗的圖像形態與藝術面貌，而我們所期待表征的是一個通過“文明差異”和“視覺對話”而達到“生命同在”的多元生態與和諧景觀。
As a series of exhibitions, " Image and Imagination " has been a continuous success from the first session (2012, Nongyuan Tianyi Art Gallery) to the second (2014, Nongyuan Tianyi Art Gallery), and then to the third (2015, Nongyuan International Art Exchange Center). For the very first exhibition, I defined it "the art of symbiosis", it contains a number of levels and connotations. The image morphology and the appearance of art we want to show are based on different cultural backgrounds and living experiences, and we look forward to the harmonious landscape of ecological diversity which is formed of "cultural differences" and a "Visual Dialogue" .

從2012年本土藝術家10人展到2014年中法藝術家13人聯展，再到2015年中外30余位藝術家齊聚濃園美術館，“圖像共生”展覽及其所倡導的“藝術共生”理念不僅贏得了中國越來越多藝術家和藝術評論家的認可，而且還在不斷持續地生長與延綿中吸引了世界各地藝術家的加盟與參與。
From the exhibition with 10 local artists in 2012 to 13 Chinese and French artists in 2014 and to more than 30 Chinese and foreign artists’ gathering in Nongyuan Art Museum in 2015, the philosophy of "co-occurrence" advocated in Image and Imagination has not only won the recognition of more and more Chinese artists and art critics, but also attracted artists from around the world to participate with its continues and sustained growth and stretches.

21世紀以來，隨著全球化趨向與地球村概念的日益明晰，世界藝術越來越依賴于新的媒體形態與技術。正如本雅明所預感到那樣，互聯網、手機APP、即時通訊與移動終端極大地改變了我們的生活方式和感知方式，又一個全新的“機制復制時代”正重新型塑著我們感知的組織方式與意義的表征方式?；诳缥拿魉囆g對話與新媒體形態表征，“圖像的共生”系列展覽繼續將擴展海外藝術家的來源地和代表性作為我們的主要理念。
Since the beginning of twenty-first Century, with the globalization trend and the concept of the global village, art has become more and more dependent on new media and technology. As Benjamin once predicted, Internet, mobile phone apps, instant messaging and mobile terminals have greatly changed our way of life and perception, and a new "mechanical reproduction era" is reconstructing our perception and representation. Based on the cross-cultural dialogue with new media form of representation, "Image and Imagination" series of exhibitions will continue with our concept to expand the sources and representatives of overseas artists.

參與“圖像共生2016”的藝術家相對于過去又發生了不少變化。來自中國的參展藝術家有大唐卓瑪（唐平）、封明清、劉嘉偉、歐斌、王新箭、游曉林、莊子。來自新西蘭的藝術家有：Myah Flynn（瑪雅?弗林）、Nicky Foreman（尼基?福爾曼）、Robin Ranga（羅賓?蘭加）。與去年相比，“圖像共生2016”不僅繼續致力于呈現“藝術共生”通過“文化差異”的呈現和“視覺對話”的過程而抵達“生命共在”的境界，而且還試圖在又一個“機制復制時代”用新的語言與形式來體現“藝術共生”的三大內涵。
The artists who participated in "Image and Imagination 2016" have changed a lot compared with the past. Artists from China include Datang Zhuoma (also known as Tang Ping), Feng Mingqing, Liu Jiawei, Ou Bin, Wang Xinjian, You Xiaolin, Chuang-tzu. New Zealand artists are Myah Flynn (Maya Frin), Nicky Foreman (Nicky Furman), Robin ranga (Robin - Langa). Compared with last year, "Image and Imagination 2016" not only continues to commit to presenting artistic symbiosis through the presentation of "cultural differences" and "Visual Dialogue" so as to arrive in the realm of "co-existence of life", but also reflects the connotation of "symbiosis" of art in a " mechanical reproduction era" with new languages and media.

“圖像共生2016”由濃園國際藝術村濃厚的“沙龍精神”與“公共氣質”延伸而來。到今天，這個以新媒體為標識的“機制復制時代2.0”時代，讓我們借這個展覽來回應這個時代從物質媒介到精神氣質的變化，讓我們再一次回溯至生命本身的“共生狀態”與“共在境界”，讓我們期待更多民族國家與文明體系的藝術家在“圖像共生”展覽的交流中與為大家呈現出新意迭出的“機制復制時代的藝術共生”圖景。
"Image and Imagination 2016" grows from the strong "Sharon spirit" and "public temperament" within Nongyuan International Art Village. Today, in the so called mechanical reproduction era 2.0 identified with new media, let us respond to the changes from material medium to the spiritual temperament in this era through this exhibition, let us once again look back to life’s "symbiotic state" and "coexistence state", and let us look forward to the symbiosis picture in a mechanical reproduction era with artists in "co-occurrence" presenting new ideas one after another.
