“A butterfly flutters its wings lightly in Brazil, which will lead to a hurricane in Texas a month later.” Edward Lorenz, an American meteorologist, advanced a theory of Butterfly Effect in 1963. A fragment of treasured comments on movie market at the Beijing International Film Festival, a chair installed in Milan by a Chinese designer, or an impression of China in the eyes of a Spanish photographer…all above may be just a touch of feelings to the artists themselves. Nevertheless, they are full of cultural significance concerning chance and certainty in the course of art exchange.

People always say that certainty is hidden beneath chance, or the wheel of history will roll ahead even if some accident never happened. But who really knows? Perhaps in the course of cultural exchange, some accidental dialogue and event can stimulate artistic passion. An accidental exchange of what one has learned, like mileage accumulated from many travels or personal experience in the culture and art development, connect sympathetic response of people’s hearts in the deep of cultures of all countries and nations.
