《無限智 Infinite Wisdom 》 典藏於瑞典皇家理工學院 KTH
2025 瑞典皇家理工學院
KTH Royal Institute of Technology
生命，始於母體之中。
從胚胎形成的那一刻開始，一個新的生命便展開旅程。它不只是細胞的聚集，而是一個充滿無限可能的開始。約在第四週，生命第一次出現心跳；到了第十週，人類的輪廓已逐漸成形。生命的第一篇章，就此展開。
然而，生命有限，智慧卻可以無限延續。
知識透過教育與研究一代代傳承，使人類文明不斷向前。大學與研究機構不只是培育人才的場所，更是累積智慧、激發創新與孕育未來的重要基地。
康木祥以作品 《 無限智 Infinite Wisdom 》 贈與瑞典皇家理工學院（KTH Royal Institute of Technology），正是希望這件作品不僅是一件公共藝術，更成為一座象徵生命、智慧與永續精神的地標。
〈無限智〉 "infinite Wisdom"
《 無限智 》 以孕育生命的胚胎為創作意象，象徵每一個生命都蘊藏著無限潛能，而真正得以跨越生命有限性的，是人類透過教育、研究與文化所累積並傳承的智慧。作品提醒我們，在科技快速發展的今日，每一項創新都應建立在對生命的尊重，以及對未來世代的責任之上。
KTH 作為世界頂尖的理工學府，長年致力於科學研究、工程創新與永續發展，其教育理念與康木祥長期透過藝術探討生命、連結與永續的創作精神相互呼應。當 《 無限智 》 佇立於校園之中，它不只是陪伴來自世界各地的師生，更成為藝術與科技、東方與西方之間持續展開的一場對話。
此次典藏，也成為康木祥國際藝術計畫 「一條鋼索連結世界」 的重要篇章。作品從臺灣出發，透過藝術跨越地理與文化的界線，串聯不同國家與城市，傳遞和平、永續、生命與連結的共同價值。我們也特別感謝駐瑞典代表處谷瑞生大使及全體同仁的支持與協助。代表處長期致力於推動臺灣與瑞典在教育、藝術及文化領域的交流合作，積極搭建國際合作平台，促成本次典藏，使臺灣藝術得以持續在世界舞台上發聲。
《 無限智 》 將持續陪伴未來一代又一代的學生與研究者，在探索知識的旅程中思考生命、傳承智慧，並相信每一份創造，都將成為照亮未來的一道光。
Unlimited Wisdom Joins the Collection of KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Life begins in a mother's womb.
From the moment an embryo is formed, a new journey begins. It is far more than a cluster of cells—it is the beginning of infinite possibilities. Around the fourth week, the first heartbeat emerges, and by the tenth week, distinct human features have already taken shape. The first chapter of life quietly unfolds.
Life is limited, while the wisdom of humanity knows no boundaries.
Through education and research, knowledge is passed from one generation to the next, enabling human civilization to continue evolving. Universities and research institutions are not only places of learning, but also foundations where innovation is nurtured and the future is imagined.

For this reason, artist Kang Mu-Xiang presented Unlimited Wisdom to KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden. More than a work of public art, the sculpture is intended to become a lasting symbol of life, wisdom, and sustainability.
Inspired by the form of an embryo, Unlimited Wisdom represents the boundless potential within every new life. While every individual life is finite, human wisdom continues to grow through education, research, cultural exchange, and the collective efforts of generations. The work reminds us that every scientific breakthrough and technological innovation should be guided by respect for life and a responsibility toward future generations.
As one of the world's leading universities in engineering, science, and technology, KTH shares a commitment to innovation and sustainable development that resonates deeply with Kang Mu-Xiang's artistic philosophy. For decades, his work has explored the themes of life, connection, regeneration, and sustainability. Installed on the KTH campus, Unlimited Wisdom creates an ongoing dialogue between art and science, as well as between Eastern and Western cultures.
The installation also marks an important milestone in Kang Mu-Xiang's international art initiative, A Cable Connecting the World. Originating in Taiwan, this ongoing project connects countries and cities through art, conveying shared values of peace, sustainability, human connection, and the continuity of life.
We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to Ambassador Klement Ruey-Sheng Gu and the entire team at the Taipei Mission in Sweden. Through their unwavering support and continuous efforts to promote educational, artistic, and cultural exchanges between Taiwan and Sweden, this meaningful collaboration became possible. Their dedication has created new opportunities for dialogue and cooperation, allowing Taiwanese contemporary art to reach a wider international audience.
Standing on the KTH campus, Unlimited Wisdom will continue to accompany generations of students, researchers, and visitors. It is our hope that the sculpture will inspire reflection on the value of life, the inheritance of wisdom, and our shared responsibility to shape a more sustainable future.
