The evolution of agriculture tells the story of the world in an unmissable exhibition at Fondazione Prada

L’evoluzione dell’agricoltura racconta il mondo in un’imperdibile mostra alla Fondazione Prada

The Fondazione Prada in Milan is hosting "Dash," a comprehensive solo exhibition by Chinese artist Cao Fei that explores the intersection of ancient agricultural rituals and cutting-edge technology. The exhibition features installations like 'Land Ceremony,' where an agricultural drone is treated as a ritualistic rice dragon, alongside VR experiences and documentary films that investigate the automation of farming in China and Southeast Asia.

This exhibition is significant for its examination of how artificial intelligence and robotics are reshaping the relationship between humanity and nature. By highlighting the use of technology to combat climate change and rural depopulation, Cao Fei illustrates a world where traditional spiritual practices are not discarded but are instead integrated into a high-tech, automated future.
