Yang Fudong, who has become after 89 video artists in the crowd, with a beautiful and sentimental images records in a fast-changing society urban intellectuals and young people feel alienated.
Compared with Yang Fudong, artists Lu Chunsheng, is super-realism and neutral and objective attitude in dealing with the integration into the works. Spot shooting, and unlimited extension of the footage, as well as non-professional technical crew, He recorded in some unusual cases of human behavior. But many other artists with different era, he did not concern the urbanization process because of the sense of alienation, including the highly mobile crowd, and the loss of residents, Conversely, the development of his own works - both photographic and video - is to find their own strange but no doubt different position.
Cloak of new media styles, artists Shi Qing for a rally and they were created by the intersection of jealousy : In technology harboring a curse and taboos, the body is being watched with the energy released by the abyss, also waiting to be polluted and disinfection species. The human body from the religious and witchcraft were walked through the ceremony to become pure evil and the historical archives, And it is also the reading of this file with the well explained.
