‘The artists in LUX are working at the very cutting-edge of digital technologies, using artificial intelligence, generative and interactive algorithms, dimensional sound and optical illusion to create a new kind of artistic experiences’ says Dr Jiyoon Lee, LUX Curator and Director of SUUM Project.
Several artworks have been freshly commissioned for the show, which is the second in the ongoing LG OLED ART SELF-LIT GALLERY series, sponsored by LG. They are Es Devlin’s sensorial environment, ‘BLUESKYWHITE’ (below); ‘Black Corporeal (breathe)’ – a critical examination on the relationship between materiality and the black psyche by Julian Knxx; and a new kinetic media sculpture called ‘Flower Meadow’ by Swiss studio for media architecture art studio iart.
