An office table, a fallen chair, and another chair waiting for you to sit on. On top of the table is a monitor displaying the word “EVOLUTION?” The screen has no operational interface but a button beside it whose actual function you cannot discern. Here is a game-like imitation of the Stanford Prison Experiment, where all eight participants are AI agents without any human monitor. You can only observe it through quantitative monitors, auto-generated conversations, and the imitated images displayed on a CRT monitor hidden in the alcove along the side wall. Each AI has a unique personality, emotions, stress levels, and social network. They form alliances, betray one another, fall ill, and break down. The system provides them with a set of rules and a routine schedule, after which they operate autonomously. You are uncertain which iteration of the experiment you are witnessing, how many rounds of conversation have occurred, or whether anyone has ever successfully broken out of the prison. All you can see is the information presented in front of you. _ Liu Guangli, Must Find A Way to Change the Circumstances, 2026, office desk, chair, CRT monitor, computer tower, button, portable monitor, ladder, carpet, wallpaper, dimensions variable _ 𝙇𝙞𝙪 𝙂𝙪𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙞: 𝙉𝙤 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙃𝙖𝙨 𝙏𝙖𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙐𝙨 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙅𝙤𝙝𝙣 is now on view through May 2. #magicianspace #liuguangli

The system is speaking to you. It addresses you as John, but you may choose to be called otherwise. The system offers you three options: You, The Operator, or John. Yet, no matter your selection, it insists on calling you John. “John” works in a laboratory. His (your) job is to evaluate, compare, and establish standards for the system—standards of time, space, and images. One day, the system informs you that these standards have been lost and must be reestablished. You are brought to moments in history, and the storyline becomes partly shaped by your decisions.

𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙤𝙧 𝙔𝙚𝙪𝙣𝙜: 𝙂𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙉𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙎𝙪𝙣𝙨, curated by Cédric Fauq, opens today at CAPC Musée d’art Contemporain de Bordeaux. Marking the artist’s first institutional exhibition in France, the project transforms the museum’s nave into an immersive world of green light, inspired by the Chinese myth of Hou Yi shooting down nine of the ten suns.

This exhibition reflects our condition: we are already within the system, and even our attempts to reveal or intervene in it remain part of its operation. Here, autonomy leaves us with the illusion of choice, while what ultimately remains is only the permission to observe. The presentation begins with six mini-games about “Standards”: Tetris, 2048, Snake, Radio, Clock, and System👾 𝙇𝙞𝙪 𝙂𝙪𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙞: 𝙉𝙤 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙃𝙖𝙨 𝙏𝙖𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙐𝙨 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙅𝙤𝙝𝙣 is now on view through May 2. _ Liu Guangli, Calibrating, 2026, CRT monitor, computer tower, game controller, interactive webpage, dimensions variable #magicianspace #liuguangli

Now on view at Art Basel Hong Kong, Encounters EN11🥔 𝙃𝙪 𝙔𝙞𝙣𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 Potatoes Grow on Trees 2025 Mohair, cotton thread, iron wire 66 × 25 cm / each _ Potatoes Grow on Trees is a co-productive work created by 100 women from multiple villages and townships, though the idea originally sprouted from a story from the artist’s childhood. As she recalls, there was a rumor that children in the city believed potatoes grew on trees. She realized that city life shapes people‘s understanding of grains through the merchandise in supermarkets. Therefore, she decided to invite women closely connected to the production of grains to knit representations of the crops they plant, aiming to reestablish a bond between humans and the land. _ @hu_yinping @artbasel #huyinping #artbaselhongkong #encounters
