BIO/ STATEMENT:
Lu Yang studied new media under Zhang Peili — commonly known as the father of video art in China. Her works revolve largely around her interest in sub-culture with biological and technological art as her main forms of media. She says: “Having a skeptical stance towards ethics in art and morality issues, I have chosen to express and explore my creative concept through the employment of living organism and technological art in my work.”
Many of her works stem from ideas about biology and death and life and living things.
