[Digital Exhibition 網上展覽] Symbols of Identity: IKAT Textiles from Indonesia 文符交織：印尼伊卡的絣織意像 Symbols of Identity: IKAT Textiles from Indonesia, a highly focused exhibition highlighting the artistic virtuosity of weaversacross the Indonesian archipelago.Building upon the Museum’s presentation of IKAT Textiles of the Indonesian Archipelago in 2017, and two new publication projects, including Noble Virtuosity: Hidden Asymmetry in Ikat Textiles from Sumba, the display reveals forms of asymmetric design that scholars so far have consistently overlooked or explicitly negated in the past. Today, investigations of early specimens reveal that high class weavers from these islands excelled in hiding tiny visual elements that disrupted expected symmetry in a way that was made to be overlooked. They exploited insights in the way we process visual information by simulating regularity, while deceitfully tying in elements that break it. Thereby they were so successful in their deceit that in academia it remained unnoticed for over a century.「文符交織：印尼伊卡的絣織意像」展覽，聚焦探索印尼群島織造者非凡的藝術造詣。延續2017年「生如錦繡：印尼群島的伊卡絣織」展覽的學術脈絡，並結合包括《印尼群島的伊卡絣織》的兩本全新研究專著，透過本展覽揭示以往一貫被忽視或明確否定的伊卡絣織不對稱美學。現今對早期伊卡織品的研究顯示，這些島嶼上的織造者擅長將微小圖案隱藏在織品中，巧妙地打破預期的對稱性。這些社會上層的織造者深諳視覺感知的奧妙，營造規律的表象，同時交織突破常規的巧思；其染織技藝之高超，令學術界逾百年未曾發現這種隱藏的意像。 Date/Time: 01/07/2026 to 30/06/2027 00:00-23:59 Venue: Online Organized by: University Museum and Art Gallery
