Venue address of future exhibitions should be adapted to URL. Too slow to experience on spot, we need something faster—"browse", "swipe". Even being in a gallery, we couldn't endure lingering by one physical artwork for a few minutes longer. We are craving more for "more" itself; we are always oriented towards the more of "newness".

Globalization and advancement of the Internet compelled the facility and indispensability in obtaining explosive amount of information. Information is free. We desire more of it. Rapidity is obliged to welcome this new expansion of market: more art, more exhibitions, more galleries, more museums, more artists, more collectors... We copy, and paste, paste and match style. Inheriting the banality, it is still gleaming with gloss and shine. Our flashy demand could be satisfied albeit fraudulent. Over-proliferated seemed to be our anxiety and desire, the over-production/consumption will become part of our quotidian at last. We are heading to a fast and furious era, repeatedly refreshing itself in an exponential pace.

Starprojects continues to present artworks produced by post-80s Hong Kong and mainland artists with its second installment of the inaugural trilogy "Perpetual Production & Consumption".
