竹林七贤之栖鸾、归田、本真、坐忘、君隐、观心、虚怀（从左至右）

在数字艺术和科技艺术发展的时代，有两条道路一直悬置在我们的面前：从计算机（或游戏）艺术出发，是从新媒体的数据性质出发，走向元宇宙的虚拟现实的未来。一个是从古代传统历史上借助文化的积淀的记忆形态回溯，反观新的艺术与人类之间的关联和呼应的可能。申占君以现代技术之形态来回看竹林七贤，把人工智能对于现在人类的压抑，转化成为针对技术的另一种包含。处在世界又一次不确定转换之际，体现人类再一次试图完成自我的超越的挣扎。

竹林七贤之栖鸾

竹林七贤系列作品的创作，是对国家文化符号的一种当代表达，能够引发共情，产生共识，唤醒人类社会对优秀文明的共鸣，这就是文化符号蕴藏在背后的重要力量和穿透力所在。

竹林七贤之归田

这些创作的推出，与申占君从中央美术学院毕业后进入社会从事过创意设计、影视、雕塑、装置艺术、数字艺术等多元化的创作经历，及早期在美院学生时代对绘画、中国古典文学及诗词的热爱与积淀分不开的。博观而约取，厚积而薄发，整体汇聚下，申占君打开一片广阔的艺术创作天地。

Seven sages in the bamboo forest／Root-bird

In the era of the development of digital art and technology art, there are two paths that have been suspended in front of us: starting from computer (or game) art, starting from the data nature of new media, to the future of virtual reality in the meta-universe. One is the possibility of looking back on the connection and echo between new art and human beings through the memory form of cultural accumulation in ancient traditional history. Shen Zhanjun looked back and forth at the seven sages in the Bamboo forest in the form of modern technology, transforming the repression of artificial intelligence for current human beings into another kind of inclusion for technology. At the time of the uncertain transformation of the world, the embodiment of human beings is once again trying to complete the struggle of self-transcendence.

The creation of the Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest series is a contemporary expression of national cultural symbols, which can trigger empathy, generate consensus, and awaken the resonance of human society to excellent civilization. This is the important power and penetration behind cultural symbols.

The launch of these creations is inseparable from Shen Zhanjun's diversified creative experience in creative design, film and television, sculpture, installation art, digital art, etc., as well as his love and accumulation of painting, classical Chinese literature and poetry in his early days as a student in the Academy of Fine Arts. Broad view and about to take, thick and thin, the whole convergence, Shen Zhanjun opened a broad world of artistic creation.
