Inside Out

The last 2 years have radically changed how we live and engage with the world. Stuck indoors, people have found new ways to feel a sense of belonging and liveliness. It has accelerated our journey to becoming increasingly digitally native, existing more in bits and bytes than atoms and molecules. In this work, the artist creates an apartment facade, though replacing windows with screens, which act both as a means to communicate our digital identity and engagement with the world, an entry into embracing the metaverse, and to capture each of our own solicitation in the digital for companionship. The screens show performative works generated with AI, where the artist ‘learns’ by downloading via an AI new hobbies like dancing, yoga while being stuck inside digital windows (onto his avatar).
