Aspartime is an independent art duo established in 2012 and includes Chinese artists, Qu Xiao and Fengya Liu. Aspartime aspires to explore contemporary art projects that represent a more independent and liberal existence. On May 16, 2012, they created their first online network project called “Update”, using the (then popular) microblogging site, Weibo, to display new works every day. In 2013, they began their second online network art project on the Taobao platform, where they sold flat images from the “Update” project and “ideas” which buyers were supposed to follow through with. This collection of works for sale represented mass consumption in a free market, via the Chinese website, www.taobao.com.

阿斯巴甜是由瞿潇和刘风雅发起的独立艺术小组，成立于2012年。通过艺术项目。阿斯巴甜一直探索当代艺术是否能够更加独立且自由的存在。“Updat微博计划”是阿斯巴甜的第一个网络项目，他们利用微博作为艺术品展示平台，自2012年5月16日开始每日更新一件作品。在“Updat微博计划”中，阿斯巴甜用日常之物解构惯有的认识，通过拟设再造，传达出的轻松甚至无聊的感觉，不给观众造成任何解读的压力。
2013年，阿斯巴甜第二个网络艺术项目“Aspartime收藏计划”通过淘宝平台，将艺术收藏变成一种自由便捷的大众消费。
