More Than A City|
Digital Arts Project Of Nanchang Planning Exhibition Center

"Since ancient times, cities have been a symbol of the maturity of human civilisation, both East and West, and 'city' and 'town' have come to mean the division of territory and the economic development of society. The terms 'city' and 'urban' mean the demarcation of territorial states and the economic development of societies, and the two, regardless of what comes first, grow inseparably with each other."

Initiated by Nanchang Urban Planning Exhibition Centre, this digital art project “More Than A City” invites six new media artists to think about the keyword “city” with full of possibilities. With the development of science and technology, urban planning is no longer only focused on the governance of physical space such as residence, but also on comprehensive research and practice in social, economic, environmental and cultural dimensions. With this macro goal in mind, the artists will bring forth an infinite imagination for future development.

Through the means of science and technology and advanced thinking, jump out of the concrete city, into a more pioneering future city. Here, human society may have a more sustainable and diversified self-management, the flow and analysis of information will evolve into a more ecological visualization, and the application of virtual and real will penetrate various scenarios of urban planning. The exhibition “More Than A City” will be on top of the serious and rational content, with the unexpected perspective and experience to show the public that the city is not just a city.

Participating Artists:

Liam Young, Fan Yiwen, Huang Tian, Zhang Haichao, Zhang Jinghua, Giuseppe Losziavo
