Infinite Scroll 荧屏沉溺 Symposium

The Infinite Scroll 荧屏沉溺 Symposium brings together a next generation of Chinese artists, curators, and digital platforms working across screen-based, internet-native, and post-digital practices. Augmenting the exhibition Infinite Scroll / 荧屏沉溺, the symposium explores how contemporary life is shaped by continuous image circulation, algorithmic visibility, and platformed attention economies.

Across artist talks, conversations, a keynote lecture, and a curated screening program, speakers examine how humour, persona, cuteness, performance, world-building, and synthetic identity function as critical strategies within digital culture today. Moving between painting, moving image, online platforms, curatorial infrastructures, and experimental media, the program situates individual practices within broader technological, social, and affective systems.

Designed for both local and international audiences, the symposium operates across time zones, reflecting the transnational flows of images, labour, and culture that define the infinite scroll itself.
