LuYang Delusional Mandala by LuYang
29 OctLuYang is an emerging Chinese artist who has also presented in the Chinese pavilion in last Venice Biennale. Her video, “LuYang Delusional Mandala” is really crazy, somewhat eerie and very weird video. It’s laden with ideas about neuroscience, death, theology the virtualization of the artist and many other themes. If I haven’t said it already, it’s extremely bizarre, but I recommend watching it. I think she’s on to something!

So if you ask me, I’m not sure what I think about the five year plan, but I definitely like the clip, and if you watch it you’ll soon be singing along in Chinese: “The Shi-San-what? The shi-san-wu!”
