Following her relocation to Beijing, Cao's creative background radiated from the Pearl River Delta, becoming more complex and diverse in response to the evolving times. Combining virtual reality, video, installations and performance art, this project explores the possibilities of future societies, reflecting the profound impact of technological advancements on human life and social structures.
