K11 Art Foundation

As part of the opening of the K11 ECOAST Cultural Festival, K11 Art Foundation and K11 ECOAST are excited to feature Lu Yang: DOKU The Flow, showcasing the artistic journey of Lu Yang, a multimedia artist renowned for his pioneering use of advanced digital technologies at K11 HACC. Born in China and currently based between Shanghai and Tokyo, Lu Yang has established himself as one of the most prominent artists of his generation. This exhibition marks the second chapter of the DOKU series, where attendees will explore the multifaceted world of DOKU — a nonbinary digital avatar named after the phrase "DOKUSHO DOKUSHI". Created through the digitisation of Lu Yang’s own body and enriched by collaboration with a team of scientists and digital technicians, DOKU serves as a vessel for exploring themes of transformation and the human experience in our rapidly evolving digital age.

The film Doku The Flow was exhibited at Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris last year and was made thanks to their support. K11 Art Foundation and K11 ECOAST are proud to present this film at K11 HACC, offering a uniquely immersive experience through this groundbreaking exhibition, which not only highlights our ongoing support for innovative artistic practices but also aligns with our mission to enrich Shenzhen's cultural scene.
