An artful exploration of life in all its forms
"We're at this razor's edge, where we can either annihilate ourselves with our fear of technology, or try to endure and prosper," says Seoul-born artist Anicka Yi.
In her work, Yi, who now lives and works in New York, addresses the anxieties arising from the rapid development of machines and AI, and the destiny of society. Her creations explore the possible evolution of people and new forms of life.
In her ongoing exhibition at the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, Yi shares her thoughts on the interchange between humans and other life-forms in an array of mesmerizing installations.
The exhibition, running until June 16, illustrates her cross-disciplinary approach — which spans biology, philosophy, technology and architecture — and directs the audience to different kinds of intelligence, and the fragility and resilience of life-forms.
