RMB City

RMB City is a planned project by Beijing-based artist Cao Fei, involving the creation of a virtual city and art platform in the online 3D world of SecondLife, in which interactive art exhibitions and events will be held over a two year period.

RMB City attempts to mimic the structures of real-world real estate and urban planning, from the “RMB City Planning” stage (where preview videos and promotional materials were displayed in “leasing offices and showrooms” at Art Basel Miami and Lombard-Fried Projects) to the involvement of investors and institutions to purchase usage of the city buildings.
