About the Item

In the current frenzy of the information age, people have the ability to use all sorts of processes to achieve fancy functions and looking back to the eve of the Space Age in the 1950s, results that still feel cutting-edge today were achieved in ways that now seem comical in an era of mechanical industry only. The work takes a purely mechanical approach to the 'injection' of light into an object, an action and a result that is indicative of what is currently missing in our technological explosion - the pursuit of grand and unrealistic, even comical, visions. About the Artist: Cometabolism Studio is a design studio based in Shanghai, founded by Zhang Ning and Yang Yafei. Zhang Ning graduated from the designer maker program at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London. The direction of her work explores the entangled relationship between objects and human behavior. Yang Yafei graduated from the Department of Oil Painting of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and Furniture Design at Central Academy of Fine Arts China. His works often use industrial readymades to blur the definition of objects and play with the idea of power of public space, attempting to derive industrial production relations through ready-made industrial components. The duo have collaborated on several art and design projects as long-time friends and expect to rethink the creative process under the ruins of the post-industrial heritage. In 2020, they established Cometabolism Studio to explore the possibility of reactivating mass-produced industrial metabolites such as industrial components and blurring their function in space, allowing art to intervene in everyday space. At the same time, through digital generation and other technologies, they explore undefined art objects that can blur the border between the real and the virtual.
