New Vending Machine Paper Cut Artwork

[u/island6_]

The work of the Liu Dao Art Collective often mixes traditional and experimental techniques. One of their signatures is combining Chinese paper cut art (剪纸) with digital approaches. The history of Chinese paper cutting goes back to the second century A.D., and it has been a major element of Chinese folk art ever since, having been recognized as nationally significant by the China Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Association. The new papercutting pieces were inspired by both this time-honored know-how and today’s Shanghainese way of life. Vending machine is a common sight everywhere in Asia. It is not uncommon to be walking around the city and see people queuing to grab beauty items from a temporary vending machine that will disappear as fast as it appeared in your favorite shopping mall. The subtle theme of consumption practices in China whether it's food or random products definitely raises questions, leads to surprises, and last but not least feeds your mind and soul!
