Born and raised in China during the Cultural Revolution, Yun-Fei Ji studied traditional Song Dynasty landscape painting techniques at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing. He reinvents the system of symbolic structures found in classical Chinese painting to expose the dark side of industrial development on contemporary life.

This panel discussion, moderated by curator Irene Hediger, elaborates on themes presented in the exhibition Think Art – Act Science, a collection of projects by artists who have engaged in creative dialogue with scientists.
