Charlotte Fang Critiques Art Establishment

- Charlotte Fang, whose real name is Krishna Okhandiar, is the founder of Remilia Corporation, a self-described "art-industrial planetary conglomerate corporation-as-artwork". [- Remilia Corporation's](https://vertexaisearch.cloud.google.com/grounding-api-redirect/AUZIYQFxwQDHwBXnNUMCFmlp3bxG2bJqxJSJA27M-SvvFBO1FGra-ng-tLGSgpZN-iTeNsg7FaPXOHf8-RAeGs8LtWqhLFV02VzXc3IdN8XwihNBJ5ukcBIiRTb-e7uJcF0ya1fzbXdDfB0K2as9Z2jcUgvX-EGy8m54dllGHIhAIjXILwxjskIR9EAzOTgzMyH6lAM=) philosophy promotes a "New Net Art" and is explicitly critical of the institutional art world, which they believe has failed to properly understand and integrate internet-based art. - A core tenet of their ideology is "post-authorship," which rejects the traditional notion of individual artists in favor of collective, pseudonymous, or anonymous creation, viewing claims of authorship as "hubris". - In May 2022, Fang stepped down as CEO of Milady Maker after it was revealed he was behind the controversial online persona "Miya," which was associated with racist and homophobic content; Fang defended the persona as "performance art". - Remilia's manifesto, "What Remilia Believes In," outlines a rejection of the traditional art world's "extreme scarcity" and "vicious competitiveness," advocating instead for an "abundance mentality". - The collective aligns itself with "crypto-conservative values" and positions its work as a form of resistance against perceived government overreach and censorship. - In a 2024 interview, Fang stated that artists should be "extremists" and that he is interested in "performance art that engages the audience as participants and the use of finance and industry as an artistic medium". - Remilia Corporation has been a principal sponsor of politically charged events, such as a ball where Steve Bannon was the principal speaker, reflecting an alignment with right-wing movements.
