From March 7 to March 19, 2026, XJ presented Self—*ish*, the duo’s first international multi-work solo exhibition at Helix Art Space in Stockholm, Sweden. Curated by Ruoxi Gao and co-developed with Yul Cho and Daniel Daboczy, the exhibition brought together five major works across kinetic sculpture, moving image, and video installations: User (2025), Xin-1.0.36 (2026), Screentime (2024), Metadata (2026), and Personhood (2026 edition).

“The exhibition traces how human habits and gestures are observed, recorded, and reconstructed within technological infrastructures. The title Self—ish captures this tension: it evokes the introspection of being alone with oneself, but also the way our personal gestures are always observed, recorded, and interpreted by external forces to grasp at an approximation of personhood. The infrastructures that promise agency are shaped by selfishness and technological determinism: forces that extract from the very selves they appear to empower” — Excerpt from exhibition program.

The exhibition marked a major consolidation of XJ’s practice, which uses emerging technologies as artistic media to critically interrogate their consequences on the human condition.
