Content: In 1876, the first cohort of Westernisation scholars travelled to Britain to study telegraph technology; in 2025, self-funded students from the People's Republic journeyed to Britain to study contemporary art practice.

Time misaligns at Loch Ken in southern Scotland, where they intertwine into an invisible field, soaring through the air. The spark plug forgotten in Patton Church still flickers incessantly, yet this time it does not serve as proof of existence, but rather presents an elusive, indecipherable interlude of long and short waves.

Unrevealed realities shatter the imagination of personal pilgrimage. That frequency band, concealed within the opening lines of verse, carries the carrier wave transmitted to Denmark's Great Northern Radio Station. Only those from JJ Thomas Avenue possess the means to demodulate it...

考察报告2025

本次调研以麦克斯韦为线索，前往剑桥大学麦克斯韦中心，考察麦克斯韦的电磁理论与当代数字技术之间的关系。调研过程中，华为成为一个重要节点：2017 年，这家中国科技公司进入这一以麦克斯韦精神为名的科研场域；此后，其在英国的相关业务又因不可抗力因素逐渐终止……

Field Research Report 2025

This research took Maxwell as its guiding thread, travelling to the Maxwell Centre at the University of Cambridge to examine the relationship between Maxwell's electromagnetic theory and contemporary digital technology. In the course of the investigation, the collaboration between Huawei and the Maxwell Centre emerged as a significant node: in 2017, a Chinese technology company entered this research field named in the spirit of Maxwell; thereafter, its related operations in the United Kingdom were gradually discontinued due to force majeure...
