Art 21 - Cao Fei

I have used Art 21 videos in my high school installation art class to help frame students' thinking in a broader, more out-side-of the box way. The videos make great discussion tools, and are a good resource if you have 8:00am Monday morning art class.

The Cao Fei video we discussed in class (thanks Kent!) is from the current season (5) and is thus not yet available on line. Here's a little teaser though from the Art 21 site:

"Dear ladies and gentleman, I’m China Tracy—the avatar of Cao Fei—and I’m her interpreter.” Cao Fei’s digital Second Life alter ego acts as the English translator for the Chinese-speaking artist throughout the segment, guiding the viewer through seven multimedia projects.
