Liu Xiaodong: Weight of Insomnia
Bridle, James / Ga, Zhang
Since 2015, Chinese painter Xiaodong has been developing a technologically radical project to create landscape paintings using robotic arms and surveillance cameras. Collectively entitled Weight of Insomnia, this series of paintings is an attempt to quantify the emotional burden carried by people moving through the seemingly ceaseless surroundings of the 24-hour city.
