看见不存在－科幻的平面视觉表达
SEEING NON-EXIST: THE GRAPHIC-VISUAL EXPRESSION OF SIC-FI

"看见不存在"是未来事务管理局与库布里克书店共同组织的一场小型画展＋对谈沙龙活动。
参与者为科幻作者韩松，插画师BUTU，未来局新媒体主笔船长，以及本场活动的设计师本人。
主题“科幻中的平面视觉表达”，围绕韩松老师小说中的意象；BUTU为韩松小说封面、《烧火工》（刘慈欣）绘制的插画；以及我为《时间不存在》《未来人不存在》两本MOOK所做的装帧设计和插画展开。

SEEING NON-EXIST is a small art exhibition & dialogue salon organized by the Future Affairs Administration and Kubrick Bookstore. The participants were science fiction author Han Song, illustrator BUTU, the new media editor of the FAA Captain, and the designer of the event myself.

The theme "THE GRAPHIC-VISUAL EXPRESSION OF SIC-FI" revolves around the imagery in Mr. Han Song's novels, BUTU's illustrations for "The Burning Fire Worker" (Liu Cixin) and the cover of Han Song's novel, and the design and illustration I did for the two MOOKs "Time Does Not Exist" and "The Future Man Does Not Exist".

那段时间一直在思考设计的意义。从业数年，深感在各种实践活动中，设计参与、甚至主导形成的浪费过多。各种大中小型活动，准备过程中和结束后，都会留下大量物料垃圾。我想通过自身寻求改变，寻找一种高效、节约、环保、可制式化、可重复利用的设计方式。
因为这是线下活动的海报，主要使用场景是在现实中，谈论是实体的绘画与书籍，我希望它有更强的实体感。

During that time I was thinking about the meaning of design. I have been designer for several years, and I deeply feel that in activities, design participation and even leading are too much waste. All kinds of large, medium and small activities will leave a lot of material waste during and after the preparation process. I want to seek changes, to find a design method that is efficient, economical, environmentally friendly, standardized and reusable. Because this is a poster for offline activities, the main use scene is in reality, talking about paintings and books that are entities, I hope it has a stronger sense of entity.

最终我选择电脑制作一个只有文字信息与网格坐标的基本版面，用普通白纸黑白打印。预留的空白部分，遵循网格坐标，用不同肌理与质感的材料填充。各种活动剩下的富裕材料，颇为占地，弃之又可惜。譬如在这之前为《未来人不存在》做活动，留下的软镜子与锡纸正好派上用场。BUTU的画是布面丙烯，因此用丙烯在白卡上画出带笔触肌理的色块，剪切使用。如此本场活动的内容：《不存在》MOOK与BUTU的画，都在海报上形成了呼应。
宛如对画局部一瞥的色块和能照见观者自身的镜面，也是我对“看见不存在”这个带有哲思的名字的阐释。

In the end, I chose to use computer to make a basic layout with only text information and grid coordinates, and printed it in black and white on ordinary white paper. The reserved blank parts, following the grid coordinates, are filled with materials of different textures. So many materials left over from previous activities occupy quite a lot of space, and it is a pity to abandon them. For example, the soft mirror and tinfoil left over from the activities for "Future People Don't Exist" came in handy. BUTU's painting is acrylic on canvas, so she used acrylic to draw color blocks with brushstroke texture on the white card and cut them out for use. So the content of this event: "NON-EXIST" MOOK and BUTU's paintings echoed on the posters.

The color blocks that are like a glimpse of a part of the painting and the mirror surface that can illuminate the viewer themselves are also my interpretation of the philosophical name of "SEEING NON-EXIST".

Every poster is unique, with multiple unique textures, touchable, very low cost, and half of the materials come from waste.
