Media artist LuYang (born in Shanghai, PR China) is currently taking the international art scene by storm with his groundbreaking productions. Technically sophisticated and aesthetically stunning, his 3D animated films, video installations, and computer games depict a new form of digital world populated by superheroes, monsters, and gods.
LuYang’s art has its origins in a unique crossover between neuroscience and Buddhist philosophy, medical technology and body enhancement, as well as manga aesthetics and sci-fi fantasy. The media artist created the avatar DOKU in 2020. It has his facial features, while at the same time representing a figure that breaks free from fixed ascriptions of identity. LuYang is now taking the international art scene by storm with his technically sophisticated and aesthetically dazzling 3D animated films, video installations, and computer games. His work challenges familiar categories of thought—in particular, those relating to gender identity. Digital Descending is the first monograph by the artist to be published in Germany
