Video Installation Art

“Office Medley” is a piece of video installation art by Xinming Cai ’20 (Fine Arts Studio; now Studio Arts).

It "utilizes an appropriated game engine to underscore the lack of sensibility and understanding in contemporary society due to overexploitation of digital avatars,” Cai said. “In the video, dead animals in the office, a burning clock and an empty apartment reflect the condition of burnout, as if the digital avatars were begging for a moment of rest.”
