Artist: Rui Hu

Synopsis:
“Metropolitan Triangle Garden” is an experimental 3D animation, in which carefully preserved classical sculptures in the museum participate in a destructive performance triggered by software glitches, distortions, and misused simulations, turning the gallery space into a madhouse theatre with both classical beauty and digital chaos. It is an attempt to connect the sense of space, history, turmoil, and transformation to the idea of technological sublime.
