Zhang Ga, the exhibition's curator and art professor with Tsinghua University, explains that the dramatic relationship between motion and human behavior has been the main cause and subject of new media art. He selects the works of 14 artists from home and abroad to show the many possibilities of movements that are caused by a variety of media and tactics.
