Box Body(2023)Self—ish
Our first multi-work solo exhibition, featuring old and new works across kinetic sculpture, video art, and projection-mapped installations.
In an era defined by digital surplus, our sense of self is increasingly fragmented and recomposed into data traces through platforms designed to surveil. **Self—*ish***, the first major solo exhibition by art duo XJ (Xin Wen and JJ Agcaoili), explores how the subjective self is constructed, compressed, and now mimicked by the technologies we inhabit.
Notable for their methodology of working in between the physical and the digital, XJ brings together five works across projection-mapped installation, moving image, and kinetic sculpture. Moving between physical interaction and algorithmic abstraction, these works embody how the self is both turned inward and constantly exposed.
**Self—*ish*** reflects the ambiguous space of the digital self, where solitude, self-expression, and exposure coexist, and where identity is both something we claim and something that is claimed for us. What happens to our sense of self when identity becomes a performance, existence requires maintenance, and the real becomes eclipsed by the artificial?Curated by Ruoxi Gao for the Helix Art Space. Co-developed with Yul Cho and Daniel Daboczy.
