Wrong Code: Shanshui Exhibition opens from 27th August to 15th September 2007 at Hanart T Z Gallery,202 Henley Building, 5 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong. Video game consoles, Interactive CD-Roms and online games have become an independent category in the field of contemporary art. From Nintendo and Playstation to the online games of today, background design, sound and light effects and games rules are important elements in "game culture". The variety of art becomes closely related to the Internet interaction in real life's sub-culture.Announced in June 2004, Feng Mengbo is one of two artists under Interactive Artssection to be honoured with the Award of Distinction. Ars Electronica is a leading arts centre of electronic art, located in Linz, Austria; the annual Ars Electronica Festival is a major international event in the field. Born in Beijing in 1966, Feng Mengbo graduated from the Graphic Arts Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. The artist has participated in the Kassel Documenta twice(in 1997 and 2002) and had a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei, in 2003. He is a young contemporary Chinese artist who chiefly utilizes computer games in his works, and he has received a great deal of attention from the international art world in doing so. Feng, who has received an orthodox art education, believes that computer games are also a kind of art medium. Perhaps this is directly related to the fact that he played so many video games during his time as a student. Feng's early works, such as My Private Album, are chiefly recordings of sorts. His subsequent works, Taking Mt. Doom by Strategy and Q4U, were developed using imagination and game-like elements. These works more accurately capture the fast-paced, unrestrained speed and ever-changing space of the electronic world. Feng Mengbo is back to the medium of "painting" in 2005 and started creating the "Built to Order" series. The image was projected digitally onto linen canvas, and he then used charcoal to outline the silhouette. Afterwards he spread acrylic gel over the image, and used a Belgian serrated knife to carefully incise every detail in order to give it the appearance of more texture. After the gel dried he used a very thick brush and silver acrylic paint to create brushstrokes. He transported the treated canvases to the printing works, where they used vacuum suction and plastic cord to secure each one to the VeeJet platform. Amidst ear-splitting noise, a revolving belt carried tubes of paint that were spray-injected line by line onto the canvases while painfully bright anti-UV lights flickered on and off to speed-dry and solidify the UV protective layer. Instead of using acrylic gel to create the texture, Feng applies tempera layer to his new "Shanshui" paintings before VeeJet printing. There are no more figures or war scene in digital game as before. Feng recalls his experience in learning Chinese classical landscape painting and follows "Four Wangs (four important landscape painters in Qing Dynasty)'s spirit of analyzing masterpiece in Chinese art history.
