“Cultures collide, the digital realm prevails, and religions must be reinterpreted at Jane Lombard Gallery, where Lu Yang’s exhibition, “Doku: Digital Alaya,” combines ancient Buddhist teachings with contemporary digital imagery to tell the story of a nonbinary avatar.
“Doku appears in six 3-D environments, each representing one of the six realms of rebirth in Buddhist reincarnation,” the Tribeca, New York gallery says. “These artworks–grounded in the latest scientific inquiries—are wildly engaging and often disturbing, illustrating the journey of a post-human life form through worlds inspired by Japanese anime subcultures and interactive video games.”
