Artist Meichun Cai’s Visions of Human-Space Dynamics in Virtual Reality

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:24:06 GMT

The increasing need towards a high-quality life has made technology an intersected subject with many other disciplines, including art. In comparison to conventional forms of art and design, the inclusion of new technologies created an unusual organic chapter which provides effective solutions to interdisciplinary subjects. Breaking this boundary is what Meichun Cai seeks to accomplish.As a multimedia artist, Cai focuses on the pluralistic relationship between man, nature and machines. Upon discovering virtual reality, it occurred to Cai that physical space can be augmented through technological means.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:24:06 GMT

News clippings, saved shopping bags? Can you do the same for a whole city, a neighborhood, or a family? In Loser Back Home, Los Angeles-based artist and filmmaker Martine Syms works across video, sculpture, painting, installation, design, and photography in a multivalent interpretation of her life as it is, was, never was, and might be — and gives same evocative, abstracted treatment to the places she remembers, as well as the ephemera of the events that imprinted them, and often, the clothing she wore when it all went down.Martine Syms: Poet with heart of glass, 2023.
