前 言
Preface
12月19日，艺术家王莹乘坐国航飞机从北京抵达成都。整架飞机客舱内全程散发彩虹光线，旅客感到温暖的同时享受着专属浪漫带来的暧昧。那么在飞行过程中，大家是否会打开飞行模式呢？
飞行模式之切断信号。在电影中，男主角乔治认为，摧毁一个国家成本最低的方法分为三步，首先是隔离，切断通讯和交通，大量的人消失死亡。然后制造恐怖言论，压垮人们心理防线，产生混乱，相互猜疑，相互攻击。随即，第三阶段自动发生，政变与内战。在当代社会，人们离开手机，失去信号，就会产生焦虑或恐惧的情绪。参与王莹行为的观众都将拥有一架纸飞机，在有限的时间和空间中，精准度与偏离感来回摇摆。
飞行模式之极度省电。关闭了发射与接收模块，静态电流相对较小，手机失去上网和通话功能后，使用率减少，亮屏次数减少，从而减少耗电量。此时，飞机上的乘客更多处于休息状态。本次展览的油画作品都是王莹在半睡半醒间的无意识画面。牵手、拥抱、亲吻……这些面对面的接触，缠绕在人与人的关系之中。

On December 19th, Ying arrived in Chengdu from Beijing on Flight. The whole plane cabin emitted rainbow light, and traveller felt warm and ambiguous brought by exclusive romance.So in the process of flight, will everyone open the flight mode?
Flight Mode cuts off the signal. In the film <Leave the world behind>, the hero George believes that the lowest cost way to destroy a country is divided into three steps, the first is isolation, cut off communication and transport, a large number of people disappear and die. Then the creation of a terrorist narrative that crushes people's psychological defence and creates chaos, mutual suspicion and aggression. Subsequently, the third stage occurs automatically, coup d'état and civil war. In contemporary society, people leave their mobile phones and lose their signal, creating anxiety or fear. Audience members participating in Ying's performance will have a paper plane, swinging back and forth between precision and a sense of deviation in a limited amount of time and space.
Flight Mode of Extreme Power Saving. With the transmitter and receiver modules switched off, the static current is relatively small. After the mobile phone loses its internet and call functions, the usage rate decreases and the screen lights up less often, thus reducing power consumption. At this time, more passengers on the aircraft are in a resting state. The oil paintings in this exhibition are all images of Ying'sunconscious while half asleep. Holding hands, hugging and kissing ...... these face-to-face contacts entwine human relationships.
