What if language is not just a tool for communication, but a force of creation?
What if consciousness is not confined to the human brain, but a vast field resonating with extraterrestrial intelligence?
When we speak, are we simply describing reality—or are we altering it?
In both mystical traditions and contemporary alien contact narratives, there exists a recurring idea:
Language does not just describe reality—it creates it.
If alien intelligence already exists within us, would we recognize it? If language is not just a reflection of reality, but its blueprint, can we trust our own words? This exhibition presents interactive installations based on language, low frequency resonance, sound experiments and unknown phonetics, allowing the audience to experience the "sacred words" of alien beliefs. The body is the signal: when language fails, can the body be the ultimate means of communication? Incorporating performance art, mystical dance and experiments with electronic implants, the exhibition explores how alien communication transcends the grammatical system and penetrates the resonance of the body and consciousness.

Biography
Niki Jiang, Jing, Dr.Air, Zhuo Meng
I don't want to call myself an artist but a trickster instead. A trickster is a character in a story who exhibits a great degree of intellect or secret knowledge and uses it to play tricks or otherwise disobey normal rules and defy conventional behavior. As for my practice I want to define it as my way of playing. We are born to play. The role of the artist is to orchestrate attention, to create lenses to see a completely different reality, not one that is imaginary or fabricated but that has been there all along. My works often resonate with timelessness and tranquility, nowhere and anywhere, a place to rest. I been experimenting with different sensory like touch, smell, sound, sight. I take art making as a form of healing from both personal and generational traumas.
