A vintage boat departs from a demolished park, carrying a goddess toward a virtual city: this is the surreal opening of digital artist Huang Heshan’s latest exhibition. Following the viral success of Wild Design, Huang continues to build digital worlds that poetically and incisively reflect the transformations of Chinese society. The result of three years of work, this new chapter in the Too Rich City series is a journey through fantastical urban landscapes where memory, reality, and simulation merge. At the heart of the narrative is a time-traveling vessel that, drifting through ruins and pixels, guides the audience along a temporal spiral steeped in urban nostalgia. With an aesthetic defined as “Plastic Punk,” the artist reworks symbols and codes of the contemporary city into a surreal yet coherent ecosystem. The exhibition thus becomes more than an immersive experience - it is a form of digital resistance, a way of stitching back together, through art, what urbanization has erased.
