Liu Dao Liu Dao Birth name Liu Dao Born April 1, 2006 (2006-04-01) (age 4) Shanghai Nationality  People's Republic of China Field Electronic Art, Digital Art, New Media Art Influenced by Jon Kessler, Garry Hill, Sophie Calle, Ken Rinaldo Influenced Liu Dao, Wang Dongma, Zhang Deli, Rose Tang, Cai Duobao ' Liu Dao' (a Pinyin phrase meaning "island number 6" - simplified Chinese: 六岛; pinyin: Liù dǎo) Mandarin: [Liu tɑʊ]  ( listen) is an international multidisciplinary art collective based in Shanghai, China. Liu Dao was founded in 2007 by island6 Arts center under the direction of French curator Thomas Charvériat with the assistance of Latvian art director Zane Mellupe. Liu Dao is an electronic art group composed of performance artists, multimedia artists and engineers. Their work focuses on interactive art installations that explore the effects that “technologies have on our perception and modes of communication”.[1] As of August 2010, about six artists are associated with the Liu Dao collective.[2] Liu Dao has exhibited in Albert Benamou Gallery, Galerie Twenty-one and Loft in Paris, White Rabbit Collection in Sydney, Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai (MOCA), Louis Vuitton Maison in Taipei and the Hong Kong Art Fair. Red Gate Gallery is the exclusive representative of Liu Dao in China.

The group claims its collectivity and communal spirit keeps the art from becoming mainstream or stagnant.[3] The majority of Liu Dao’s works involve LEDs. A simple movement is arranged by choreographers Wu Yandan and Li Lingxi or Chaim Gebber and coordinated by in-house art directors, which is then video recorded and turned into an LED representation. Homemade software is being used to match colors and to create an animated sequence of bitmaps. Red Gate Gallery, the oldest private art gallery in China,[4] describes the process of Liu Dao as technology becoming organic: “digital reality comes alive, where it begins to speak, dream, conspire, and seduce.” It refers to the works as “voyeuristic fantasies”, “paraphilia”, and “visually rhyming”.[5] Collaboration As noted by The China Post, all of Liu Dao's works are created by multiple artists, as the group places emphasis on cooperation and collaboration in order to increase the wealth of ideas and evolution of conceptual projects.[6] The credits for each piece run similar to those found in a film, with writers, directors, models, cameramen, technicians, painters, programmers, choreographers and editors. This process runs as a direct opposite to artists with many employees working for them who are never credited at all. Philosophy Liu Dao’s LED works animate and illuminate short but beautiful glimpses of exposed lives in the fast pace of Beijing and Shanghai in the 21st Century...In the People’s Republic of China, a glimpse can be worth an eternity, and Liu Dao aims to expose that value by encouraging a harmless feeling of warm, irresistible voyeurism into a spectrum of feelings and problems that are well protected by the walls, and to reveal a range of emotions and repeated patterns and lifestyles, reminiscent of the endless circle of male and female needs.[7] —R. A. Suri, Liu Dao Collective Themes As China reaches its most extreme period of urbanization toward the end of its 11th five-year plan, cities are rife with construction, architectural upheaval and modernization of infrastructure.[8] Many works of Liu Dao contemplate these transitions. Urbanization may also be a factor in the collective nature of Liu Dao, as the concentration of people within large cities provides “a greater exchange of ideas among people working in different fields in the same location.”[9] Liu Dao tends to use a multitude of influences, references and styles from Chinese art and Chinese history in their works, such as cranes (the Chinese symbol of longevity),[10] Chinese paper cutting, rice paper, and Maoist and Communist imagery. Similar to the theme of urbanization, the technology and modernity that are found in Shanghai, where Liu Dao are based, are main features of the collective’s topics, as a reverberation of Chinese traditional life becoming “electrified”.[11] Visual compositions often combine LED animation with Chinese paper cuts to take a customary picture and bring it into the 21st Century technological landscape. Liu Dao artworks also often feature modernized characteristics of conventional art, bringing to light the subject of China’s reaction and contribution to Globalization, while interactive artworks are equipped with sensors, motion-tracking devices, GPRS modem controlled videos, or sonar rangefinders which help “artists and technologists actively engage with culture”.[12] Awards and honors In April 2010, Liu Dao was selected by Louis Vuitton for an exhibition curated by Jonathan Thomson in the famous Louis Vuitton Maison designed by Japanese architect Inui Kumiko, to be the second art intervention, after Taiwanese artist Michael Lin to animate their Taipei building. The art space is one of only three sponsored by Louis Vuitton in the world, which have showcased world-renown artists such as Takashi Murakami, Stephen Sprouse and Richard Prince.[13] Artwork Liu Dao
