A new media exhibition at Beijing's Hongkun Museum of Fine Art is looking back at the relationship between human beings and fast-developing technologies through a number of artworks ranging from videos and installation works to video games made by young artists. 

According to exhibition curator Gao Yuan, the evolution of this relationship should be a slow process: "Overuse of technology will force us to bend to the dominance of technology." 

The Systematic Evolution exhibition, which is set to run until August 22, sees young artists like Dai Chenlian, Ding Shiwei, Luo Wei and Ge Yulu make use of the latest technology to reexamine the familiar from a different angle.
