Enzyme 1.0, 2022
by jo+kapi
An interactive installation and digital program artwork.
-
Sited at Grey Projects and presented through a program, Enzyme 1.0 (2022), My Desire to Consume is an exhibition that takes the form of an installation and a digital sandbox for ‘trading’ art. Taking the form of programs, digital images, and moving images, the exhibition brings together different digital art practices.
From Jo Ho and Kapilan Naidu’s Enzyme 1.0 (2022) which degrades artworks with each simulated ‘trade’, to Andreas Schlegel’s #FFFFFF an image of white that exaggerates Enzyme 1.0 to Debbie Ding’s Cat (2016), and Jennifer Mehigan’s Fuschia Jubilee (2021) that bring together digital aesthetics with traditional art world structures of distribution, to Tisya Wong’s Off-Screen (2022) and Fyerool Darma’s KemuntingChina3 by Abam RetroTech (2022) that materialize the human hand in economies of ‘crafting’ images, these artworks mobilize digital formats and aesthetics in ways that critically engage with the speculation that has defined the post-Covid rise of digital art.
With the art scene being encouraged by the market and patrons to digitize, My Desire to Consume is a provocation to rethink the future of the group exhibition as well as the conceptual stakes of digital art.
