活動主題
There is a vast sliding scale of open interpretation to this theme. Seeing the Unseen, Hearing the Unspoken gives a platform for the unseen to be seen and the unspoken to be heard. Work submitted to The John Ruskin Prize needs to engage with and consider this theme.
The last John Ruskin Prize took place in 2019. During the intervening years, globally, we have experienced unprecedented times with the Covid pandemic, loss, restrictions on our liberty and the cost-of-living crisis.
There's a beautiful practice in Japan called Kintsugi, where broken ceramic is repaired with precious metal like gold or lacquer, creating a beautiful, unique piece. The idea behind it is that the breakage and repair are part of the history of the object, so rather than trying to disguise the damage it is integrated into the fabric, transforming it and giving it a new lease of life. We see the marks but perceive them as now being part of the beauty of the object.
The last few years of our Covid journey has been like the art of Kintsugi, where we all have been a bit broken by it, bearing scars to varying degree. And just like Kintsugi, we are rebuilding our lives in the full knowledge that these unprecedented times are part of our history.
The theme Seeing the Unseen, Hearing the Unspoken can be explored and interpreted in many different ways. What happens when we look beyond what we initially see, beyond the obvious, beyond what we are being told to look at, when we peel back the layers or change the lens or position through which we see the world? What happens when we listen to the silences instead of the noise, picking up on what has not been said, the metacommunication? What does it reveal?
對這個主題有很大的開放性解釋。看到未見的事物，聽到未言明的事物， 為看到未見的事物和聽到未言明的事物提供了一個平台。提交給約翰 羅斯金獎的作品需要參與並考慮這個主題。

上一屆約翰 羅斯金獎於 2019 年頒發。在此期間，在全球範圍內，我們經歷了新冠疫情、損失、自由限制和生活成本危機等前所未有的時期。

日本有一種叫做Kintsugi的美麗做法，用金或漆等貴金屬修復破損的陶瓷，創造出美麗而獨特的作品。其背後的想法是，破損和修復是物體歷史的一部分，因此與其試圖掩蓋損壞，不如將其融入織物中，改造它並賦予它新的生命。我們看到了這些痕跡，但將它們視為物體之美的一部分。

我們的新冠之旅的最後幾年就像金繼的藝術，我們都被它打碎了，都不同程度地留下了傷疤。就像金繼一樣，我們正在重建我們的生活，因為我們充分認識到這些前所未有的時代是我們歷史的一部分。

看到未見的事物，聽到未言明的事物這一主題 可以通過多種不同的方式進行探索和解釋。當我們超越我們最初看到的、超越顯而易見的、超越我們被告知要看的東西時，當我們剝開層層或改變我們看待世界的鏡頭或位置時，會發生什麼？當我們傾聽寂靜而不是噪音，拾取未曾說過的內容，即元通訊時，會發生什麼？它揭示了什麼？

淺在靈感
NATURE
Looking at the vastness of a landscape, what is revealed about it when you turn over a stone and observe the microcosm of life beneath, or look more closely at the lichen on the stone? When you look underneath the surface of stormy sea, what is revealed? When you view the white chalk earth from an elevated position, what symbol does it reveal and why? What does the night sky with the myriad of stars reveal about our past? What messages is nature trying to convey to us through the step change in seasons, about issues such as climate change?
BIOLOGY
What mysteries are contained within our bodies? How can we capture thoughts or the unseen life-giving force, our breath? There is the beautiful sculpture called Breathe 5 by Giuseppe Penone, where he has captured the breath as if it is being exhaled down the length of the body, making the breath visible, captured in clay and the body invisible, evidenced by an imprint pressed into the soft clay.
HUMAN INTERACTIONS
Our senses are bombarded with stimulus from screens, news, social media, influencers telling us what to think, feel, look like. The subtle manipulation from algorithms and data harvesting scandals like Cambridge Analytica. What are we not being told – what are we not seeing, what are we not hearing? How does it make us really feel? How does the way we want to be seen differ from reality? Is what we personally project on the world really how we feel or think or perceive ourselves? In our daily interactions with people in the world, we never know what is going on in people’s lives, beyond the image they want to project.
POLITICAL
In a political arena – what lies beyond the suits and the polished rhetoric? The cloak and mirrors of orchestrated distractions, diverting people’s gaze from reality so they no longer see or hear the truth. What lies beneath peddled propaganda?
PLAIN SIGHT
The phenomenon plain sight, where people do not see or hear something because it is too blatant? For example, from street level, people rarely notice rooftops and how their different architectural design tells the story of the historic expansion of a town, because the roofs are above eye level. Secrets are hidden in plain sight in a building, such as an old Town Hall in the South Wales valleys, built on masonic systems and symbols, where four golden angels placed above eye level and a fiery dragon underfoot, go unnoticed by those passing by for nearly thirty years. Another example is with the use of encoding in plain sight, used by Leonardo Da Vinci in his paintings, such as the use of bread to depict a score in ‘The Last Supper’.
COVID
The recent experience of Covid – a virus undetectable with the human eye, that caused so much devastation. It was the bringer of huge changes, and in some cases painful loss, where people who lost their lives to it went unseen and their final words unheard by their loved ones.
自然
縱觀浩瀚的風景，當你翻開一塊石頭，觀察下面生命的微觀世界，或者更仔細地觀察石頭上的地衣時，你會發現什麼？ 當你觀察波濤洶湧的海面下面時，你會發現什麼？ 當您從高處觀察白色粉筆土時，它會顯示出什麼符號以及為什麼？ 繁星閃爍的夜空揭示了我們怎樣的過去？ 關於氣候變化等問題，大自然試圖通過季節的變化向我們傳達什麼信息？

生物學
我們的身體裡到底蘊藏著哪些奧秘？ 我們怎樣才能捕捉思想或看不見的賦予生命的力量——我們的呼吸？ 朱塞佩 佩諾內 (Giuseppe Penone) 創作了名為“呼吸 5”的美麗雕塑，他在其中捕捉到了呼吸，就好像呼吸沿著身體的長度呼出一樣，使呼吸可見，捕捉在粘土中，而身體則隱形，通過壓在身體上的印記來證明。 軟粘土。

人際互動
我們的感官受到來自屏幕、新聞、社交媒體、影響者的刺激的轟炸，告訴我們應該思考什麼、感受什麼、看起來像什麼。 來自算法和劍橋分析等數據收集醜聞的微妙操縱。 我們沒有被告知什麼——我們沒有看到什麼，我們沒有聽到什麼？ 它給我們帶來怎樣的真實感受？ 我們希望別人看到的方式與現實有何不同？ 我們個人對世界的投射真的是我們的感受、想法或感知嗎？ 在我們與世界各地人們的日常互動中，我們永遠不知道人們的生活中發生了什麼，超出了他們想要展現的形象。

政治的
在政治舞台上——除了西裝和華麗的言辭之外還有什麼？ 精心策劃的干擾的外衣和鏡子，將人們的目光從現實中轉移，使他們不再看到或聽到真相。 兜售的宣傳背後隱藏著什麼？

眾目睽睽
這種現像是顯而易見的，人們因為某件事太明顯而看不到或聽不到？ 例如，從街道層面看，人們很少注意到屋頂以及它們不同的建築設計如何講述城鎮歷史擴張的故事，因為屋頂高於視線水平。 建築物中的秘密隱藏在顯而易見的地方，例如南威爾士山谷的一座舊市政廳，它是建立在共濟會系統和符號的基礎上的，四個金色天使放置在視線上方，腳下有一條火龍，路過的人不會注意到。 近三十年。 另一個例子是列奧納多 達 芬奇在他的畫作中使用的顯而易見的編碼，例如在《最後的晚餐》中使用麵包來描繪樂譜。

冠狀病毒
最近新冠病毒的經歷——一種肉眼無法檢測到的病毒，卻造成瞭如此大的破壞。 它帶來了巨大的變化，在某些情況下還帶來了痛苦的損失，為此喪生的人們看不見，他們的親人也聽不到他們的遺言。
