Let There Be Light
Cai LiyuanBeginning with Artificial Moon, Wang Yuyang turns light from a condition of illumination into the work’s subject. Artificial light becomes both material pressure and a metaphor spanning myth, technology and belief, opening a sequence of experiments including Light, Singularity and Relationship.
The exhibition follows the threads of light and digital logic. Programs, databases and algorithms receive creative agency, while the works continue to question relations among humans, objects, world and nonhuman entities—and how we view the universe and understand existence.

A tube glows on a black surface while waiting for natural light to consume the dark, handing the work’s completion to the future.
A screen travels on a circular track; however fast it moves, the arc of light on screen remains synchronized with the track.
A white painting is photographed and printed back onto itself, producing a double surface of painting and photography, abstraction and representation.
The Form of the Formless, the Semblance of the Invisible
2020
Angle-dependent colours surround the viewer, making visual experience contingent on bodily position in space.
A program autonomously draws from databases and the internet, then uses algorithms distilled from art history and the artist’s working methods to generate paintings, sculptures, videos or performances.
Individually programmed light tubes tangle, separate and push one another, generating spatial relations that cannot return to their initial state.
A four-metre sphere of screens is covered with rotating polarizing sheets that reveal and transform colours otherwise hidden from the eye.
