Chinese modernisation is by large a process of urbanisation. Rapid developments in urban areas mark a significant transformation creating fundamental reconfigurations of ethnic demography, city topography, and social practices. At the heart of this transformation lie excitement, anxiety, aspiration, perplexity, hope and desire. Artists within China and internationally are exploring this new public domain extensively. Through sophisticated artistic strategies they exploit the specific qualities and potentials of new technologies to track the current changes. |
