Artworks are regarded as the products of the times and the epitome of society. It has the situation that finds the rationality of over interpretation and the so-called value for some “artworks”, which hinders the audience’s real feelings and thoughts.
One of the characteristics of crypto art is that it is open, and all the presuppositions that have nothing to do with the work itself will be abandoned. Tradition does not mean obsolescence, and modernity does not mean advancement. Any style is only regarded as a means of artistic expression. Everything serves for content and expression.
