Lu Yang1 collaborationLu Yang creates a cacophony of in-your-face digital aesthetics. Her multidisciplinary practice spans video, installation, painting, performance and new media such as VR and video games. Intoxicating films - soundtracked by pounding electronic music - flit hyperactively between stark images of violence like impaled bodies and napalm, to anatomical diagrams and steroid-pumped religious iconography. References to Manga and Anime, along with gaming and hacking subcultures surface throughout. While the artist resists any given label, her work is framed by legacies of Afrofuturism and Asiafuturism - like her predecessors, she uses science-fiction to reconfigure the present into an exhilarating vision of the future.
