Lu Yang: Exhibition Preview and Artist Talk

​Museum of the Moving Image invites you to a preview of Lu Yang: The Great Adventure of Material World. The evening will feature a conversation between the artist and MoMI Associate Curator of Media Arts Regina Harsanyi, followed by an opportunity to experience the exhibition ahead of its public opening on September 26. Seating is limited.

​The Great Adventure of Material World follows an androgynous protagonist, Material World Knight, through distinct episodes that move between conflict, transformation, and renewal, echoing samsara, the ceaseless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth across different planes of existence. The work brings together Buddhist cosmology with visual strategies drawn from video games, anime, and science fiction, reflecting Lu Yang’s ongoing interest in multiplicity, embodiment, and perceptual change.

​At MoMI, visitors can experience the environment as either a projected single-channel film or through interactive gameplay.

​About the artist: Lu Yang (born in Shanghai, China; based in Tokyo) is an artist whose practice combines gaming aesthetics, spiritual philosophy, and technologies of simulation to examine identity, the body, and consciousness.
