But whether she \u201ctackles the numbing state of modernity,\u201d as per the title of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/news.artnet.com\/art-world\/cao-fei-solo-show-at-moma-ps1-457568\">Kathleen Massara\u2019s preview<\/a>&nbsp;of Cao\u2019s MoMA PS1 solo show on Artnet, seems debatable. The difference between tackling and narrating is that of distillation versus mere storytelling, and the plain gesture of juxtaposing a minor group of Guangzhou cosplay enthusiasts with cranes at construction sites and migrant workers (the&nbsp;<em>Cosplayers<\/em>&nbsp;series, 2004) doesn\u2019t really distill the essence either of societal change in contemporary China or \u201cthe numbing state of modernity.\u201d Not to mention that to describe the state of modernity as \u201cnumbing\u201d already sounds like an outdated simplification of something as loaded and unstable as the term \u201cmodernity,\u201d and the constellation of socio-historical and epistemological complications it pertains to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dressing people up as Japanese manga characters and photographing them performing in different urban environments could be interpreted broadly as a kind of escapade into utopian fantasies, but how can we distinguish this form of entertainment from any other feel-good activity we engage with in our everyday lives? Arguably, there are subtler things we do that are more revealing of a post-modern mentality than literally acting out manga identities or doing weird dances in a factory space per the artist\u2019s request; there is more identity fantasy at play in our daily interaction with and manipulation of social media profiles, for example, than walking around in a Sailor Moon costume once every year. In the same way, an amalgamation of famous Chinese urban structures into an \u201cRMB City\u201d (2007) doesn\u2019t suffice to embody new China, and a post-apocalyptic zombie movie (\u201cHaze and Fog\u201d, 2013) doesn\u2019t capture the uncanny feel of looming doom in the post-human everyday. New media art can have a disruptive effect by distilling contemporary life into a seemingly hip and fun visual vocabulary\u2014it doesn\u2019t stop at hip and fun, but finds that precise point where hip becomes absurd and fun becomes sarcastic. The way artists can re-appropriate mixtures of post-internet references has the potential to trouble what is taken for granted and reveal underlying tension and friction. Artworks that feel at once relatable and unfamiliar can invoke how post-human empathy and identity function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"528\" height=\"396\" src=\"https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-349.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-349-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-349-150x113.png 150w, https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-349-400x300.png 400w, https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-349.png 528w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cao Fei, Cosplayers Series, \u201cTussle\u201d, C-print, 75 x 100 cm, 2004.

Trecartin\u2019s works tend to have this intangible apocalyptic and surreal air; but unlike Cao, he doesn\u2019t (need to) tell people overtly: this town is infected and this is the apocalypse. Interestingly enough, Massara quotes Cao\u2019s disappointment at the lack of power she perceives in immersive artworks: \u201cArt works [are] getting weak, [and] cannot grasp our real feeling anymore\u2026Universal Studios theme park seems to be more perfect than all the immersive art works.\u201d Is theme parks\u2019 success over immersive art in captivating the attention of the general public due to their more perfect grasp of people\u2019s real feelings? These also aren\u2019t two directly and consciously competing forces. But surely, the difference between the theme park experience and the immersive art experience is that, instead of providing a smooth entertainment session that the participant soon leaves behind, immersive artworks should create an in-between experience that the audience navigates; this navigation, in turn, constitutes the substance of the audience\u2019s immersion in and contemplation of the artwork or their experience with the artwork as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"528\" height=\"396\" src=\"https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-351.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-351-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-351-150x113.png 150w, https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-351-400x300.png 400w, https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-351.png 528w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cao Fei, RMB City: A Second Life Planning series, \u201cRMB City: A Second Life Planning 05\u2033, digital print, 120 x 160 cm, 2007.

Massara mentions at the end of her preview that the artist immerses herself in the hip-hop community, but to say this is to completely overlook the tremendous social, political and historical richness that is hip-hop itself. There are most definitely intriguing anthropological implications to the phenomenon that a certain portion of young American-born Chinese tend to associate or identify with hip-hop culture more than other popular influences, but the question of how we might tap into the history and critical potential of this phenomenon needs perhaps a bit more digging than hanging out with a few Chinatown hip-hop kids and inviting them to a party at MoMA PS1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"528\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-352.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-352-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-352-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-352-450x300.png 450w, https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-352.png 528w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u201cSTRAIGHT OUT OF TIMES\u201d, performance by Cao Fei and The Notorious MSG at the opening of Cao Fei\u2019s retrospective at MoMA PS1, 2016.

You can either plainly describe something, or you can unpack and understand (or deconstruct) it and narrate it in a way that most strongly highlights why and how it is what it is. Underprivileged Chinese immigrants surviving in a suspended place called Chinatown may be a strange and telling global reality, but how do we narrate this reality in a way that can actually show the hows and whys, rather than just placing it in front of an audience? Sweatshops are terrible, and cosplay is unique, migrant workers suffer, etc.; we know this, and we might want the artist, or the critic, to take us one step further than a repetitive display of common apologetic knowledge and face value symbols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We find certain paradigms in terms of how critics write about Chinese artists with a global presence today\u2014or even the ways in which critics help build this global persona for Chinese artists. For example, the way Pollack tells Cao\u2019s story is similar to how critics portray Ai Weiwei\u2019s public persona. China is a wronging communist political regime and a non-Western periphery, and the artist is often an outcast in this already exterior location\u2014he or she doesn\u2019t fit into the general Chinese artist community. The family has usually been uniquely affected by the Cultural Revolution in some way, and the artist is usually rebelling against certain aspects of communist China under globalization, which then renders he or she as an acute embodiment of China today. This kind of narrated spectacle seems more judgmental than critical, more exotic than universally relevant and, most importantly, more alienating than inspiring. It is the type of old school narration that takes China as a passive victim of unidirectional globalization from the center toward the periphery, and which oversimplifies the manifold layers underlying transnational and cross-cultural social formations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This retrospective didn\u2019t speak substance, nor did the previews help. It would appear that many significant contemporary ideas and critiques are mentioned and presented, yet these are not analyzed or taken to critical levels that have been more carefully thought through. It all seems to be a self-sustaining cycle of face value symbols\u2014in this sense, definitely numbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"528\" height=\"704\" src=\"https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-353.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/aoUeE4M6-image-353-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-353-113x150.png 113w, https:\/\/randian-art.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2022\/12\/zh-hant\/image-353.png 528w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cao Fei, \u201cHip- Hop: Guangzhou\u201d, video still, 2003.
