Mastrland board game playtest & co-creation workshop 💿⚡️

Thank you everyone who entered this half-built world of QQ zones, internet cafés, factory floors, heartbreak, cyber drama and chaotic self-expression.

What started as a board game slowly became something between role-play, collective storytelling and social simulation. Participants collected Q-Coins, carried Reality Bricks, changed hairstyles, chased clout and rewrote rules together in real time.

Some people said the game felt “too real.” Others said it felt less like a normal board game and more like an artwork about pressure, youth and survival.

Thank you for all the jokes, complaints, suggestions, wigs, snacks, memories and strange energy. Mastrland will keep growing 💜#boardgamephotography #shamate

Interviewed by @interlopemagazine China version

Very happy to share this: Unbounded Zine: Xiaomei Goes Overseas received the Best Experimental Short Film Award at the 7thHi! Short Film Festival in Nanning.
This video is from the award ceremony.

I didn’t expect a film like this to be shown and appreciated in China. Thank you to the jury, the presenters, and everyone who worked on the film.

The film will also screen soon at @queereast — hope to see you there.

A few of my recent works are now on view in soul art “Inner Wilderness 心之旷野.”

These pieces grew out of my recent time in Guizhou, where I became fascinated by 百叠被 and Boro-like patchwork — textiles shaped by repair, reuse, and many hands over time.

In one work, butterflies appear again and again across the surface.
Some are hand-embroidered by me using Miao embroidery, others are generated and reproduced by machines.
The same motif repeats, layer after layer.

I’ve been thinking about the strange time difference between these worlds:
slow hand embroidery,
AI and algorithms,
the infrastructures of the livestream economy,
and the closed geographies where these traditions come from.

Somewhere in between, a kind of neo-folk landscape begins to emerge.

Last Friday at the @vamuseum , we gathered to re-make Xiaomei (小美) together.

Starting from a simple paper figure inspired by the Chinese folk motif 抓髻娃娃 (Zhua Ji Wa Wa) — small human shapes holding hands — participants cut, collaged, stitched and transformed their own versions of Xiaomei.

Some were playful, some strange, some powerful, some tender.
Watching all these different bodies appear and connect together throughout the evening was truly magical.

By the end of the workshop, the small figures had grown into a collective textile zine, a chain of Xiaomeis holding hands — a reminder that bodies and identities are never fixed, but constantly remade through shared imagination.

I was deeply surprised and moved by what everyone created.
I hope to develop this collective zine further and present it as a larger work in the future.

Thank you to everyone who came and made this together 💫

By the end of the workshop, the small figures had grown into a collective textile zine, a chain of Xiaomeis holding hands — a reminder that bodies and identities are never fixed, but constantly remade through shared imagination.

I was deeply surprised and moved by what everyone created.
I hope to develop this collective zine further and present it as a larger work in the future.

Thank you to everyone who came and made this together 💫

Last Friday at the @vamuseum , we gathered to re-make Xiaomei (小美) together.

Starting from a simple paper figure inspired by the Chinese folk motif 抓髻娃娃 (Zhua Ji Wa Wa) — small human shapes holding hands — participants cut, collaged, stitched and transformed their own versions of Xiaomei.

Some were playful, some strange, some powerful, some tender.
Watching all these different bodies appear and connect together throughout the evening was truly magical.

📣 CONFERENCE // Infinite Scroll 荧屏沉溺 Symposium at Chau Chak Wing Museum

This weekend, join us for the Infinite Scroll 荧屏沉溺 Symposium, presented by Chau Chak Wing Museum (@ccwm_sydney) in partnership with 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art (@4a_aus).

Across artist talks and screenings, the symposium brings together artists exploring screen-based and internet-native practices, reflecting on identity, performance and image culture in today’s networked world.

🗓Day 1 | Saturday 7 March

Artist talks by Xia Han (@xiaaahan), Gao Hang (@gaohangart), and Ye Funa (@oyester) explore artistic practice within digital culture. From intimacy, memory and everyday gestures shaped by online environments, to hyper-synthetic painting languages and the aesthetics of virtual worlds, the talks consider how identity, humour and emotion circulate within screen-based life.

🗓Day 2 | Sunday 8 March

Artist Li Hanwei (@li_han_wei_), co-founder of the experimental digital art platform Slime Engine (@slimeengine), reflects on digital art, curatorial experimentation and internet culture. The program is followed by a curated Slime Engine screening presenting moving image works exploring contemporary digital life, platform culture and the aesthetics of the networked image, featuring works by artists including Fang Yang (@fangyang_yuwan), Annan Shao (@shaoannan), YU ZEU (@yuyuz_eu), Li Hanwei (@li_han_wei_) and Shan Hua (@shanhua.me).

More info: Infinite Scroll 荧屏沉溺 is a collaboration between CCWM and 4A, curated by Thea Baumann (@metaverse), Artistic Director and CEO of 4A. The exhibition brings together contemporary artistic practices from China and across the Chinese diaspora, reflecting the diversity and vitality of Chinese and transnational creative communities.

This Thursday, 19 Feb ✨ you are invited to the screening of the experimental film “Unbound Zine: Xiaomei Going Overseas 小美们要出海” (dir. Ye Funa, @Oyester, 2025) @material_zh .

The Q&A will be moderated by Diyi Tan @ooooooooooone .

This film is a 30-minute surreal, kitschy drag performance celebrating East and Southeast Asian self-publishing underground heroes—all embodied through “Xiaomei” (小美): Small. Fragile. Fleeting. No ISBNs.

Directed by Oyester and produced by Burong Zeng @burongz , it documents zine-makers across Beijing, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and London, highlighting themes of transnational, grassroots resistance.

Zines are intimate vessels carrying emotions and untold stories that demand our attention. Some are lovingly bound with thread and hope; others remain deliberately unbound. Our ESEA Zine collection includes experimental formats like “Pill Box” and “Shamate Pictorial (Surprise Bag)” that push beyond what a “book” can be.

📚 ESEA Artist Publications & Independent Zines available. For preorder, DM Diyi Tan @ooooooooooone.

About the Director: Ye Funa (@Oyester co-founded the independent publishing brand “MondayOFF” and teaches at Central Academy of Fine Arts Beijing & UCL Slade School of Fine Art.

Screenings & Events: Premiered in November 2025 at Hoxton Hall, London, with further UK screenings, including at Komedia Brighton.

Curated by Diyi Tan (@ooooooooooone)

Supported by @material_zh

Date: Thursday, Feb 19, Apéro 7.30pm, Screening 8pm, Q&A 8.30pm

Location: Material, Klingenstrasse 23, 8005 Zurich

Unbound Xiaomei is coming to V&A Friday Late 💫
27 Feb, 18:30–21:00
John Lyons Community Gallery, Learning Centre
Drop-in (no booking needed)

“Xiaomei” — a name we’ve all heard, a figure shaped by stereotypes, short videos, gossip, desire, and control. But who is she, really?

This workshop invites you to re-make Xiaomei.
Through collage, textiles, and zine-making, we’ll cut, stitch, and assemble new bodies together — beyond the gaze, beyond fixed identities. You can create your own Xiaomei (a role model, an alter ego, a memory, a fiction), and also become part of a growing collective tapestry built throughout the night.

✂️ Fabric, images, and materials provided
🧵 No experience needed — just come and make
🌀 Drop in anytime

Part of V&A Friday Late
⚠️ Please note: some images may include nudity
Come play, make, and unbind.
