Art

The tight rules of the city and the severity of the epidemic kept us at home. Realistic refugees began to accelerate their escape into the virtual world. In this exhibition, the artist tries to present a post-human digital life. Here, we do not have to worry about the police chasing after us. We could do cyber guerrilla graffiti without leaving our homes. We could also become a digital Taoism priest, hunting ghosts online in the geographic world of the Internet. We could collude with the censorship algorithms of social software to create new images. We could eat an apple with our phone camera. We can immortalize words with a virtual but very real hand, or touch loved one's ass. This is an exercise about contemporary life. While we enjoy the sanctuary of the digital gods, we are willingly sacrifice our souls. Our body is also imperceptibly disciplined and integrated by the equipment.
