Nurturing the concept of technology as an art form, the Oppo Renovators Project for emerging artists – the initiative of smartphone innovator Oppo, its name inspired by the brand’s Reno series phone – launched in 2019. Here, we showcase works by the project’s 2021 winners and outstanding entrants.
The project’s message? Designers and artists are no different from everyone else. Everyone should leverage the power of technology, facilities, materials and creative talent to bravely express themselves. Everyone can be, and is, an artist.Ever since the launch of its first, Smiley Face mobile phone, in 2008, Oppo has pursued the perfect synergy of aesthetic satisfaction and innovative technology.
The project saw 3,345 individual entries submitted by emerging artists based in 40 countries. Topics included technology, humanity, environmental protection, biology, history, social interaction, and current trends, while the works produced spanned digital media, interactive experiences, stage installations, wearable devices, and biological and material designs.
‘I’m currently studying at the School of Design at the Central Academy of Fine Arts [in Beijing]. Studying art has improved my taste and eye for design, but right now, I don’t see myself as mature enough to be called an artist. Being called an “artist” is just a label – my hope is for my work to receive more attention and recognition so that other people see me as an artist.’
