Social practice and micro-intervention
Ma Yongfeng is a multimedia artist; he is the founder of the Forget Art collective

Art as social intervention
Nowadays, since the Internet social media is so developed, anyone at anywhere can implement works that he/she regards interesting and spread it rapidly. So, today’s art does not necessarily exist in art museums and galleries, but is scattered around all the corners of the society, and you need only to intervene it witty and properly.
Art could be the evolution of social practice from micro-intervention to micro-practice, from micro-practice to micro-action."
We decided to accept several enthusiastic artists for free!
