The lecture focuses on the new trends of artist Dong Shubing in public sculpture practice in recent years. In the context of advocating for ecological civilization, the "Wilderness Art Plan" that began in 2016 can be seen as an opportunity. Implementing public sculpture creation in fields such as deserts and wilderness that have been marginalized by contemporary art and public sculpture, introducing 3D digital technology into works, seeking more independent and open creative models, and considering sustainable artistic creation methods while respecting ecology and environment. Artists have put forward higher requirements for public sculpture creation in terms of space, technology, methods, thinking, and other elements.
