The exhibition Butterfly: Glo-cal Effects of Data, Energy, and Industry is, at its core, a meditation on entanglement-between the global and the local, the ecological and the digital, the material and the virtual. It asks how we might reframe the infrastructures that shape our lives not only as technologies of efficiency or convenience, but as ecosystems themselves: dynamic, interdependent, and in need of care. It emerges from a prior exhibition, EcoDigital Futures, presented as part of Melbourne Design Week 2024, an Australian initiative of Creative Victoria and the National Gallery of Australia. That landmark exhibition spotlighted the growing imperative to align our digital futures with ecological sensibilities. Butterfly carries forward this vision, but also intensifies it by shifting the focus from speculation to activation, from theory to lived intervention.

翻译：《蝴蝶：数据、能源与产业的全球-在地效应》展览本质上是对多重纠缠关系的沉思——全球与在地之间、生态与数字之间、物质与虚拟之间的交织。它追问我们如何能够重新审视塑造我们生活的各类基础设施：不仅将其视为提升效率或便利性的技术工具，更应将其理解为生态系统本身——动态、相互依存且需要悉心维护。本展览源于2024年墨尔本设计周期间呈现的先行展览《生态数字未来》，该展览由澳大利亚创意维多利亚与澳大利亚国家美术馆共同发起。这一里程碑式展览揭示了将数字未来与生态意识相协调的日益紧迫性。《蝴蝶》展览延续了这一愿景，并通过将焦点从思辨转向实践、从理论转向现实介入，进一步深化了该议题的探讨。
