Chinese Microcinema: The Future is Here, Are You Coming?

"The Future is Here, Are You Coming?" presents recent video works by four contemporary artists from China, all at varying stages in their careers. Cao Fei (b. 1978), Lu Yang (b. 1984), Xu Zhengyue (b. 1989), and Zheng Yuan (b. 1988) each draw upon unique contemporary conditions, fueled by major investments in robotics, AI technologies, video game aesthetics, as well as an ever-expanding online social and commercial landscape. These artists locate their moving image projects at the increasingly overlapping intersections between the real and the virtual, the present and the future.
