Experience the world premiere of Chinese multi-disciplinary artist Lu Yang’s new work DELUSIONAL WORLD in her first live-streamed performance.

Lu Yang’s dizzying virtual world is a neon dreamscape lurking in our networks. Exploring digital voyeurism and online cultures, DELUSIONAL WORLD summons audiences to our new online gallery to encounter a frenetic collision of Chinese mythology, sci-fi futures and live performance.

This free mind-bending, hyper-pop performance features a contemporary dancer fitted with motion capture technology, who projects fantastical digital avatars of the artist that materialise as deranged deities, Manga-inspired mutants and cyborgs.

Live-streamed from Chronus Art Centre in Shanghai, this experimental performance presents a darkly humorous virtual world where the audience and artist interact through a live chat.

DELUSIONAL WORLD is commissioned by ACMI, Arts Centre Melbourne, Asia TOPA and Exhbitionist, in collaboration with curator Mathew Spisbah, Chronus Art Centre and Meta Objects. It is presented as part of Asia TOPA 2020.
