This showcased event has concluded.
'Screen Bodies' is a solo exhibition by Lu Yang, one of the most highly acclaimed new media artists in China today. Part of a generation of artists who grew up with digital technologies, Lu Yang has had unprecedented access to a variety of cultures and aesthetics, both underground and popular. Working in a range of digital forms from motion capture performances to video games, 3D animation, virtual reality, and augmented reality, the artist draws on references as diverse as Japanese manga, science fiction, video games, Buddhist philosophy and iconography, as well as biotechnology and the neurosciences.
Lu Yang's unique multi-media worlds—and the variety of screen bodies that inhabit them, from gender-neutral avatars to "digital grotesques"—can be simultaneously psychedelic and inviting, entertaining and confronting. The exhibition features a selection of Lu Yang's video and game artworks that spans his career so far.
The exhibition is presented alongside the launch of a special issue of 'Screen Bodies, The Journal of Embodiment, Media Arts, and Technology'.
