CATALINA OUYANG
After Mental Wealth 2013

This month at The Projection Room we are delighted to present the superb cyber-life of St. Louis artist Catalina Ouyang.

After Mental Wealth 2013 takes as its launching point Chris Cunningham's 1999 Playstation commercial, "Mental Wealth." The artist becomes an analogue Fi-Fi, distorted and reconstituted through a decade of internet and social media normalization. The future of Cunningham's technological futurism has become our present, and it is not what we had expected. Nu-goths, Chun Li, space lazers, Pokemon, Grimes and Ben Lerner make their appearance in a melange of Tumblr earnestness and net- and 90s- nostalgia.
