Ga Yang exhibited 'Silicon' at MEAM, a reflection on evolution and technology

The Chinese artist Ga Yang has exhibited Silicon at MEAM, the European Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona from June 1 to 9.

Ga Yang invites us to delve deeper into the concept of 'Silicon', reflecting on the profound implications of our evolving relationship with technology. Through a diverse range of artistic expressions, using both acrylic and oil on canvas, Ga Yang challenges us to contemplate the delicate balance between "carbon-based life" and its silicon counterpart, exploring social challenges and complexities that arise from this dynamic interaction.

Born in Henan, China in 1976, Ga Yang's artistic journey has been nothing short of revolutionary. His extensive academic record includes a PhD from the Beijing Central Academy of Fine Arts. As a curator, Ga Yang has co-curated groundbreaking exhibitions such as Cryptographic Art Exhibition: The Age of Chimeras at the 2022 Venice Biennale. His solo exhibition Metavers-K at CAFA, China in 2022 marked a significant milestone, exploring the intersection of art and the digital realm.
