Artist Statement Our project is a 3D cartoon comedy film that focuses on the impact of capitalism on the art market depicted in an entertaining way. Under the influence of capitalism, we are constantly being defined, labeled and measured. Individual values are often disregarded and replaced by the so-called market values. This values given by the market can sometimes be enhanced through certain approaches, but most of the time it is invariable and unpredictable. We would like to depict this rather pessimistic phenomenon with this joyful short animation, hopefully to inspire reflection on the relationship between art and commerce.
