The latest film by Chinese artist Yuyan Wang, winner of the 2022 VISIO Production Fund, is a digital collage inspired by the plastic and technology industries, venturing into a synthetic realm meticulously designed by global startups. Everything is held together by a dark slime—an oily substance in which Jurassic-era flora is resurrected as plastic decoration in modern shopping malls. Like a work of philosophical science fiction, the film reveals the flawed logic underlying the bright techno-futuristic visions of the tech and extractive industries.
