CAO SHU
Cao Shu (b. 1987, Jining) lives and works in Hangzhou. His practice combines historically grounded scientific speculation with a personalized archaeology of technology. Working across 3D-rendered animation, video game installation, multi-channel video, and sculpture, he builds narrative labyrinths where the real and the virtual interweave, forging digital “archaeological sites of memory.” Recent work extends into socialist science fiction, encryption, and the collective unconscious, examining how technology reshapes the inner landscape of the psyche. He received the 2022 OCAT x KADIST Emerging Media Artist Award. He was also a finalist for the Art Basel Hong Kong MGM Discoveries Art Prize 2026, Ducato Prize 2025 Italy, and the inaugural E.A.T. Prize 2024.
