# CANHE

> Canhe Yang is an artist and theorist whose work operates within the Post-Opposition framework — arguing that the 'human vs. technology' binary obscures the real division between deployers and the deployed. His practice builds physical installations using the Chinese internet ecology as primary field site.

Canhe Yang is an artist and theorist working across installation, theory, and computational systems. His work operates within the Post-Opposition framework, which reclassifies technological society not by substance (human/machine) but by structural position (deployer/deployed). Through a practice he terms operative materialism, he builds physical apparatuses that share the same physical laws as computational infrastructure, re-enacting processes concealed by digital interfaces at scales perceptible to the human body. His primary field site is the Chinese internet ecology in the age of AI — the most aggressively deployed technological environment on Earth.
