The event will conclude with an in-person conversation between Xu Bing and award-winning documentary director David Sington.This marks the London premiere of both documentaries, presenting a cross-disciplinary dialogue between moving images, art, and space exploration, and offering a unique audio-visual and intellectual experience.应EAST2046艺术节邀请，徐冰，全球当代艺术领域最具影响力的艺术家之一，将在伦敦KCL公映两部纪录片——《徐冰天书号》（27分钟）与《卫星上的湖泊》（17分钟）。《徐冰天书号》记录了从2019年底项目启动，到2021年2月1日首枚艺术火箭发射的全过程，以及发射中0.3秒的意外，留下戈壁滩的巨坑与“星点”，激发对艺术、科技与未知的思考。《卫星上的湖泊》则以过服役期卫星拍摄的首部外太空拍摄的定格动画，讲述一位孤独“太空小人”穿越星空、外太空视角的全新旅程，温暖、哲思且富有浪漫色彩。 两部影片放映之后，徐冰将远程连线介绍《徐冰艺术卫星创作驻留项目》——人类历史上首个艺术卫星计划，自2024年启动至今仍在进行中。活动最后，荣获多项纪录片大奖的导演David Sington将与徐冰展开现场对谈。 本次活动为两部纪录片在伦敦的首次公映，呈现影像、艺术与航天的跨界对话，带来一次独特的视听与思想体验。
