From Nowness: “Tian Xiaolei is one of the most experimental VR artists to emerge from China in recent years. His imaginative work has won him awards from Today Art Museum and UCCA in Beijing, where he uses history, religion, science, technology, and biology to create new, otherworldly visual experiences.
“The artist’s latest project, Aerobics, is a carnival of eccentric and far-fetched digital creations that run amok in a graphic cathedral.
Tian Xiaolei: “In the future, god will be replaced by a hybrid being that is both man and machine. Humans are only at one stage of evolution and we will continue to go through progressive upgrades. A new era for a fleeting species is about to begin.”
