由於數位科技和網路的崛起，改變了現代人的思維和視覺慣性，存在於小說、漫畫、動漫或數位虛擬空間的角色與E世代的現實世界共生，並隨著科技無止盡的進化，這已是不爭的事實。這些虛擬角色不僅超越時空，也超越人生的生命，而這個「虛擬世界」存在的空間，即是當下所謂的第四度空間－「4D」，它有別於物理學上所謂的「時間」因素。
陳教授執著於素描與立體雕塑藝術的學習與創作約四十年，在看膩了傳統雕塑與多元的當代藝術之後，發現虛擬世界的角色生命才是永恆不朽的，例如：米老鼠、芭比娃娃、凱蒂貓、蜘蛛人、蝙蝠俠……這些角色代表著人生界種種現實面象的符徵。
國立臺灣藝術教育館此次邀約陳教授，就是希望藉由各種虛擬角色之公仔，吸引更多年輕族群，也藉此看到虛擬世界角色的魅力。
　
Owing to rising of digital technology and internet development, modern people's thinking concepts and visual habits have changed. With technology's limitless progress and evolution, the situation that characters in novels, cartoons, animations or digital virtual space can co-exist with the e-generation's real world becomes possible. These virtual characters can get beyond space, time and life expectancy. The space of "virtual world" refers to the fourth dimension (4D) which is, however, different from "time" element in physics.
Professor Chen has devoted himself to studying and making sketches and three-dimensional sculpture art for forty years. After having seen so many traditional sculptures and diverse contemporary art, he realizes that characters in virtual world are eternal – for example, Mickey Mouse, Barbie, Hello Kitty, Spiderman, Batman…. These characters stand for all aspects of actual life.
This time, National Taiwan Arts Education Center invites Professor Chen to present his ideas. It is hoped that all kinds of virtual characters can attract more young people and the amazing charm of the virtual world can be realized.
