Cao Fei Survey at Kunstmuseum Basel Explores Digital Capitalism

A major survey of Chinese artist Cao Fei at Kunstmuseum Basel examines the intersection of technology, labor, and social relations under digital capitalism. The exhibition, spanning her career from the early 2000s to recent works, highlights her signature blend of wry humor and critical commentary on the impact of digital platforms on commerce and society. Known for immersive installations and films, Cao Fei's work often features virtual worlds and avatars, as seen in her RMB City project. The survey includes key pieces such as 'i.Mirror' and 'Asia One', which explore themes of surveillance, automation, and identity in the digital age. Curated by Kunstmuseum Basel, the show runs until October 2024.
