‘Heart’
The artist’s “Heart” belongs to a series titled “Organs,” and is a video loop of a beating heart that endlessly recreates the diastolic/systolic movement of the organ. Although it can be seen as a simple medical imagery, it is more a question of process, cycle and rhythm than of anatomical accuracy.
Another highlight of the exhibition comes from Chinese artist Miao Xiaochun. He is renowned for his expansive photographic works that document the realities of contemporary Chinese cities and affirm the relationship between the inhabitants and the constructed spaces.
In recent years, he also uses digital technology to create entirely new conceptual worlds, often as 3D animations. Miao’s idiosyncratic adaptations and interpretations of masterworks of European art from the early modern period are direct. He parades China’s own history of art and playfully presents the present attitude to introduce a future possibility.
For some visitors, the attraction lies in the exhibition’s interactive work, and Zheng Da’s “Virtual Portrait — Invasion Project” is such a piece. Zheng’s digital video installation allows a person to interact with an electrical image. When the visitor enters an area, houses respond in a wild explosion, putting the visitor at the center of the art piece.
