Yukang Tao

Yukang Tao(b. 2000) is an interdisciplinary artist who works in the fields of electronic arts, animation, video, and performance. Yukang’s works have been shown internationally at such venues as 18th Arte Laguna Prize Shorlist, Italy; 3rd SETA Festival “Mitologie Digitali” at  Saletta Campolmi, Italy and Taizhou Contemporary Art Museum, The Holy Art Gallery, PH21 Photograph Gallery, LossenArt Gallery,  CICA Museum, RuptureXIBIT Gallery, Kunstarkaden Gallery etc. While all of his artwork alludes to the concept of gender and observes the relationship between technology and humanity, it also encompasses themes such as surveillance and self-absorption of society in media. It becomes a code translated by the viewer based on their experiences and views born from different perspectives in time, culture, and ethnicities. In his work, gender, power, and society are intertwined through the most rational technology, analyzing sensual human topics by data. Art and technology, virtual and accurate, the boundaries begin to blur and combine to form a new utopia.
