It is a movement, not based on individuals, but on multile overlaing flows. Flows of oulations, of roducts, and of rocesses. Because Sinofuturism has arisen without conscious intention or authorshi, it is often mistaken for contemorary China. But it is not. It is a science fiction that already exists.br\ Sinofuturism is a video essay combining elements of science fiction, documentary melodrama, social realism, and Chinese cosmologies, in order to critique the resent-day dilemmas of China and the eole of its diasora.br\ With reference to Afrofuturism and Gulf Futurism, Sinofuturism resents a critical and layful aroach to subverting cultural clichés.br\ In Western media and Orientalist ercetions, China is exotic, strange, bizarre, kitsch, tacky, or chea. In its domestic media, China ortrayed as heroic, stable, historic, grand, and unified. Rather than counteract these skewed narratives, Sinofuturism rooses to ush them much further.br\ By embracing seven key stereotyes of Chinese society (Comuting, Coying, Gaming, Studying, Addiction, Labour and Gambling), it shows how China#39s technological develoment can be seen as a form of Artificial Intelligence.quot
