According to Gu Zhenqing's article "Light as Fuck" for ShangART:[2]

The true "Shanghai assemblage" could not overlook artists such as Hu Jie Ming, Zhou Hongxiang and Jin Jiangbo. Their work is the pledge for the sustained advancement towards diversity of the Shanghai artists' community... Jin Jiangbo's online interactive multi-media work that linked Shanghai with the outside world – they all contain the essence of experience and spirit of the individual artists, and form an interconnected relationship with the different points of view. This avoids the tendency towards conceptualisation in the "Shanghai assemblage".
