Artistic Dialogues Across Time and Space
Mail Art as a Witness to History
From 1992 to 2024, Huang Yan and Qomolangma Tiemei’s Mail Art Project takes “home” as the core concept and initiates an ongoing dialogue on human history, the present, and the future. The project records and presents a multi-dimensional exchange of information across time and space through the unique medium of the postal system.
The practice consists of three main sections: first, the study and documentation of everyday phenomena in the fields of anthropology, sociology, and even archaeology; second, it includes various forms of data and information collection; and finally, the use of artificial intelligence to guide the creation of content. These works not only reflect
individual stories but also touch on a broader socio-cultural context, showcasing the efforts and achievements of contemporary Chinese artists in exploring cross-cultural communication.
It is worth noting that this decades-long artistic experiment is not limited to visual presentation in the traditional sense, but combines physical space with digital virtual worlds to create a new way of interactive experience. It transcends simple chronological or geographical constraints and allows the viewer to engage more deeply in this discussion of the meaning of human existence.

Huang Yan and Qomolangma Tiemei have succeeded in innovating artistic expressions through their mail art projects, while also providing new perspectives for understanding our time.

穿越时空的艺术对话:邮件艺术见证历史 

黄岩与珠穆朗玛·铁梅的邮件艺术项目，自 1992 年起至 2024 年间，以“家”为核心概念， 展开了对人类历史、现状及未来的持续对话。该项目通过邮政系统这一独特媒介，跨越时空界限，记录并呈现了多维度的信息交流。

该艺术实践主要涵盖三大板块:首先，是对人类学、社会学乃至考古学领域内日常生活现象 的研究与记录;其次，包含了各种形式的数据和信息收集;最后则是利用人工智能技术引导 下的内容创作尝试。这些作品不仅反映了个体层面的故事，也触及到了更广泛的社会文化背 景，展现了中国当代艺术家在探索跨文化交流方面所作出的努力及其成果。

值得注意的是，这项长达数十年的艺术实验不仅限于传统意义上的视觉呈现而是将物理空间 与数字虚拟世界相结合，创造出一种全新的互动体验方式。它超越了简单的时间顺序或地理 位置限制，使得观者能够更加深入地参与到这场关于人类存在意义的探讨之中。

黄岩与珠穆朗玛·铁梅通过他们的邮件艺术项目成功地实现了艺术表达形式的创新，同时也为 理解我们这个时代提供了新的视角。
