About the Exhibition
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.
The CIW Gallery is also open 11am – 3pm on 29 October 2022.
