COOKIE COOKIE , the exhibition CryptoZR (Liu Jiaying) and I presented in 2021, has been updated to COOKIE COOKIE 2.0 for Venice. Unfortunately, the artist cannot be present due to the pandemic. Even though Europe is absorbed with war and nuclear deterrents and the pandemic is still ongoing, we will open the show in Venice on April 21, 2022.

The Venice Biennale is a similar framework, or it could also be seen as a type of underlying protocol. This thing called the "metaverse" is another concentration of people that intends to foster community and escape a reality that already has so many underlying structures and conditions.

In Red and Blue , the artist discusses how a work of art is made amidst the shift from images to community participation in politics and the connections made between anonymous users through blockchain and web technologies; it is a more direct and real exploration of communities and transactions. Motivations, gains, games, and ideologies make up an interesting whole.

CryptoZR's work is based on community, focused on connections between people. When extended to individuals and technologies, or to bodily metamorphoses, perhaps we should accept all of this and re-evaluate how people should get along in a modern society?
