New American Art 2020–2025 (新美国艺术 2020-2025) is a bilingual English-Chinese reader published by Remilia Corporation on May 31, 2025. It collects writing, memes and graphic imagery from the Remilia ecosystem, drawn from anonymous posts shared and remixed across the community, and is organized around three themes: Remilia, network spirituality and art accelerationism.[1] Printed copies were handed out at events in China during the Remilia China Tour 2025.
Contents
The reader opens with unsigned introductory notes titled "Reviewing Remilia from a Chinese vantage point", a guide to the reader and a note on translation.[2] The book gathers material "from inside a living system known as the 'Remilia ecosystem'". It does not speak with a single voice, and its texts are posts that circulated on the Milady timeline rather than secondary documents. Memes and graphics made by the same community are placed alongside the texts but follow their own order, meant to be read together in a way that resembles browsing the social media feeds they came from.[2]
The texts include the New Net Art Manifesto ("What Remilia Believes", 2021), "Let's All Love Remilia: Notes on Network Spirituality", "Network Spirituality, Collected Commentaries", "Milady as a Total Art", "Things Desired: An Egoless Online", "Psychotic Engagement: The Network Blueprint for Milady", "Accelerationist Metaphysics", "Towards a New Net Art" and "My Life as an Aesthetic Terrorist". Each is credited to its pseudonymous author and dated between 2021 and 2024.[2]
Translation
The source texts were written in English and translated into Chinese with AI tools. The method comes from Chineseposting, which began in late 2021 when the Milady timeline started posting in machine-translated Chinese meant to be translated back into English, and to Remilia's first book, CHINA! (2024), and Jadeposting. For this book Remilia trained and prompted a custom LLM workflow to translate subcultural memes for a Chinese internet-native audience, and printed the English alongside the Chinese for reference.[2]
The book was designed by David Anastacio and is released under the Viral Public License.[2]
