What happens when silk worms spin cocoons around LED lights? Or AI-generated landscapes question our environmental impact? A groundbreaking exhibition at Beijing’s Tsinghua University Art Museum is serving answers – with a side of philosophy.
Nature’s Double-Edged Sword 🔍
Seven artists from across the globe, including Lynn Hershman Leeson and Melati Suryodarmo, present 18 works blending installations, video, and biotechnology. The show’s curator tells us: "It’s about finding beauty in tension – between concrete cities and ancient forests, between coding and composting."
Highlights include Liang Shaoji’s living silk sculptures and an interactive AI piece that evolves based on viewers’ carbon footprint data. The exhibit doesn’t just hang on walls – it breathes, reacts, and makes you swipe left on simple definitions of ‘natural’.
