Guo-Youheng is an artist from Shijiazhuang. His works interrogate historical and social issues in different contexts, focusing on the development of consumer capitalism and digital technology. He excavates imaginative and fictionalized fragments from modern and contemporary history, employing technologies such as motion capture, artificial intelligence, and mechanical devices to utilise historical archives and guide present-day practices in diverse contexts. His aim is to challenge the awkward situation of the global South is compelled to contribute to the West. Particularly in the face of structural racial inequality and the fluctuating international status quo, he responds with a simple universalist stance, and an open-minded attitude.

郭有恒是来自石家庄的艺术家。他的作品质询不同语境下的历史和社会问题，关注消费资本主义和数字技术的发展。他从近现代历史中挖掘富有想象力和虚构的片段，运用动作捕捉、人工智能和机械装置等技术，利用历史档案来指导当下的实践，在不同语境中，挑战全球南方被迫向西方作出贡献的尴尬处境。特别是面对结构性种族不平等和国际地位的此消彼长，他以一种朴素的普世主义立场、更加开放和自信的态度给出自己的回应。
