Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The image depicts a striking and visually captivating performance artwork. The predominant colors are deep blues and purples, creating a moody and dramatic atmosphere. The figure's body is intricately adorned with intricate, organic-looking patterns and textures, resembling a fantastical creature or alien being. The overall composition is dynamic, with the figure's arms and legs posed in an expressive, almost confrontational manner. The artwork appears to explore themes of transformation, the blending of organic and inorganic elements, and the creation of a visually compelling and unsettling presence. The artist's intention seems to be to challenge the viewer's perceptions and evoke a sense of the otherworldly through the innovative use of costume, makeup, and dramatic lighting. ...

DOKU Hell - God Mode
Artist
Lu Yang 陆扬
B.1984, Chinese

Lu Yang (b.1984, Shanghai) lives and works in Beijing and Shanghai. His 3D animations and installations explore fundamental questions about the relationships between the body and consciousness, spirituality and science, technology and the limits of being human. Yang introduces his own body into many of his works, subjecting this proxy to myriad experiments that seem to perpetually stage his own multiplication, disintegration, or dissection. The artist’s recent works revolve around the character DOKU, who Yang conceives as a digital shell or virtual human. DOKU is named after the phrase “Dokusho Dokushi,” meaning “We are born alone, and we die alone.” Yang has been working on the digital assets for this non-binary avatar for over two years and considers the character a reincarnation of himself into a digital parallel universe. Yang’s experiments with DOKU take on many forms, including a series of iconic light boxes recently displayed in the solo exhibition Digital Descending at ARoS in Aarhus, Denmark. ...

Société is a Berlin-based gallery with an international profile—its core operations lay in Europe, the United States, and Asia. The gallery’s exhibitions, publications, and boundary-pushing initiatives have established a vital dialogue among artists working internationally. Société focuses on establishing long-term, symbiotic relationships with its gallery artists, many of whom had their first solo exhibition with the gallery. The structure of the gallery’s program and the format of its projects is an artist-led approach that responds to the ever-evolving conditions of artistic research and production—at times even pushing beyond traditional exhibition formats. Although differing in media and approach, Société’s artists address the relationship between cultural production and consumption, the circulation of information, identity, and cultural history in an era highly mediated by technology. The gallery's publishing initiative Edition Société, has worked with accomplished graphic designers on a number of acclaimed artist's books. The gallery has additionally produced 12" records with several contemporary musicians. Société has exhibited at Art Basel / Art Basel Miami Beach / Art Basel Hong Kong / Frieze London / Frieze New York / Frieze LA / ARCO Madrid / Independent New York / Independent Brussels / Art Cologne / Art Brussels / Enter Art Fair / Gallery Weekend Berlin / and Art Berlin among other locations. ...
