吉姆·汉森公司展览呈现人造角色的喜悦与美感

昆士兰美术馆与现代美术馆正在举办《相信魔法：吉姆·汉森公司的世界》展览，展示这家创意公司从成立至今的发展历程1。该展览将持续至2027年4月18日1。

吉姆·汉森（1936–1990）是美国木偶师、创意制作人、电影制作人和导演1。他与妻子简·汉森于1958年共同创立了吉姆·汉森公司，简·汉森（1934–2013）同样是一位木偶师1。公司的早期作品包括素描喜剧秀《朋友们聊天》（1955–1961），该节目首次推出了木偶角色《青蛙柯密特》1。

在随后数十年中，公司制作了众多广受欢迎的电视秀和电影作品1。这些经典之作包括《芝麻街》（1969年至今）、《黑晶宫》（1982）、《脆弱石头》（1983–1987）和《迷幻地迷宫》（1986）1。此次展览通过呈现从早期木偶到这些标志性作品的演变过程，探讨了人类创造物如何成为我们的延伸，以及在创造人工智能和机器人时应当如何理解人的意图与责任1。

The Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane is currently presenting "Believe in Magic: The World of Jim Henson," an exhibition that traces the creative trajectory of the Jim Henson Company from its founding through the present day 1. Jim Henson (1936–90) was an American puppeteer, creative producer, filmmaker, and director who established the company in 1958 alongside his wife Jane Henson (1934–2013), also a puppeteer 1. The exhibition runs through April 18, 2027, and showcases the evolution of the company's work, spanning from early comedic sketches to beloved television programs and films 1.

The exhibition features puppetry and productions that span decades of creative achievement 1. Early works include the sketch comedy series "Sam and Friends" (1955–61), which introduced the character Kermit the Frog 1. The company's portfolio extends to numerous popular television shows and films, including "Fraggle Rock" (1983–87), "The Dark Crystal" (1982), "Labyrinth" (1986), and "Sesame Street" (1969–) 1. Through these works, the exhibition invites visitors to consider how human creations can become extensions of ourselves, and to reflect on the intentions and responsibilities inherent in creating artificial beings and machines 1.
