2. Research both Modernist paintings in order to comment on the subject matter, form and style used to celebrate the machine and motion in each painting. Answer the question in 2 parts for each painting.
The way how the artist have painted this artwork have already describe the paintings story, the why how he painted showed the complication on how Industrial revolution have relationship with human, as my own option, I think the artist is trying to tell use that the relation between use and Industrial revolution in the olden days where more accessible and useful equipment are produced. The movement of the horse shows how fast the Industrial revolution have produce goods to the world and changes the societies, and the human represent the user of this new goods.
This painting shows the movement of dogs and a movement of unknown feature with the color black.
With my own option, it think its more likely to be a race between the animal and the machine, because the dog have a fast speed of movement there for the artist have use dog to have the same speed as the machines. As a easy to say is that the Industrial revolution are also fast as a dog.

3. Research Cao Fei's RMB City
i.e what images has she used in her digital collage that refer toChina
i.e what images has she used in her digital collage that refer to
As usual most of the people noted that china has many factories around it. And I think the work she have produce is a example of how china look like with lots of factories, and shows that china is also a country that still have the Industrial revolution around these day. In the image she has put new invention, new technology inside that land and because it shows the new invention and the old manufactures technology got put in together, which make it more reasonable on explaining why Industrial revolution still happening around this country.
4. RMB City
RMB city is city where mostly can not be exist, is more like a visual city. Utopia is a good word to explain the artwork, because it shows the way how is not existence to our world, and it can not be produce by human.

5. Although the Modernist paintings and the contemporary digital work have emerged from
different contexts, there are also many similarities. Comment on the similarities that you can see in the work?
The similarities between the two different painting, as my own option, the theme of the two types of painting is all on the theme of Industrial revolution. Because it both show the relation of the effect on Industrial revolution, and how it affect on human.
I agree with how you said that "RMB City" can't exsist for many reasons but in terms of the context, Utopia/Dystopia, I think it can be seen as both a utopia and a dystopia because its a city trying to reach perfection but yet ironicly it creating a worse enviroment. This can also be seen in the industrial revolution as it may have made some things better for man, it also created alot of bad enviromental problems such as inproper sewage disposal which created sickness and death.
