This paper explores transient landscapes through an artistic perspective. "Transient" refers to the fleeting nature of the world, where the landscape is constantly changing with time. The research theme of transient landscapes refracting spatiotemporal relationships has triggered an active exploration among visual artists, who have applied their expertise in media and artistic language to construct means of exploration. In addition, the relevant artworks are analyzed through descriptive reflections to reveal the true meaning of their practice. We will then discuss artists such as Dianne Fogwell, Rowan Siddons, Sadie Tierney, Sandra Jordan, Bresson, Ansen Sealecai, Caoyuxi, CaiGuoQiang, Katya Roberts, and SuXingPing, reflecting on transient landscapes from their artists' perspectives. This paper focuses on the concept of transient and its origin and also deals with its philosophical implications. The contribution of this paper is to deepen the understanding of transient landscapes through an artistic perspective and to realize the possibility of the hidden spatiotemporal relationships between them.

The materials used in artists' creations, the artworks' presence in time and space as objects, and the economic properties of art have all been changed drastically as a response to the rapidly growing cybernetic world. An increasing number of digital artworks show up on the internet every day, whether they are the documentation of physical artworks in the real world or completely digital pieces that only live in the cybernetic world.
