"My artistic endeavours reflect a journey of tenacity and innovation amidst the often rigid norms of contemporary society. I strive for an artistry that not only intersects with the demands of our technologically evolving world but also pulsates with its rhythm. My work is not merely a reflection of self but a conversation with the society that watches, engages, and grows with my art."

  1. Cao Yuxi is an artist and creative coder based between Shenzhen and Hongkong, identifying as an idealist navigating the pressures of societal pragmatism.

  2. Cao Yuxi's extensive oeuvre spans sound visualisation installations, live performances, creative coding, data visualisation, and contemporary art employing artificial intelligence. His interest in gaming significantly influenced his transition to new media art, pushing the boundaries beyond traditional display methods. His projects extend to projections on buildings and transforming screens into digital sculptures.

  3. Cao's project in Shenzhen transformed 41 buildings into a vast canvas for his "Dimensional Sampling" audiovisual series, which employs QR codes-inspired visuals to engage and challenge viewers on the complexities of modern life and the digital era. Cao explains the impact of scale in his works: "Architecture inspired me to take advantage of huge settings to create more impact and increase the feeling of immersiveness."

  4. His works "Interactive Ink" and "Cloud Mountains and Seas" are featured permanently at Beijing Daxing International Airport. "Dimensional Sampling #1" is part of the permanent collection at the Urban Light Show Art Museum Project in Shenzhen Citizen's Plaza.

  5. In 2022, Cao undertook the prestigious role of visual effects director for the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, where he contributed significantly to the visual design and production of the pre-ceremony performance, reflecting his commitment to blending artistic innovation with critical social commentary.
