Issue 20 of receiver was designed by students of The Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. The Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing is a leading institution for modern art education in China. CAFA, the only art academy of higher learning directly under the Ministry of Education, was founded in 1950. It has six schools: The School of Fine Art, School of Chinese Painting, School of Design, School of Architecture, School of Humanities, School of City Design as well as the School of Continuing Education and the Affiliated High School of Fine Art. All schools provide academic, experimental, practising and multi-disciplinary training within a future-oriented educational infrastructure.

The City Design School (CDS), set up in 2001, was the first professional school outside CAFA’s main campus. The school comprises departments of animation, film&video, visual communication, product design, landscape and public art etc.

The Experimental Video Studio belongs to the film&video department of CDS CAFA. We focus on the study of video art, installation and interactive media, considering media art as a redefinition of the relationship of all kinds of art.

Special thanks go to Qi Tan, for coordinating the students’ contributions.
