Strange Cohabitation

A simultaneous sense of satisfaction and loneliness is experienced in the moment of both watching and becoming an image, piece of data or bit on a screen. It is this strange cohabitation of our digital and physical selves within us that struck Hi Kyung Eun as ironic while researching a variety of digital cultures. In response, she made a ceramic screen for the digital self to inhabit. Both hard and fragile, lively and dead, realistic and distorted, the ceramic screen intertwines and collides with the digital body, allowing it to materialise. It is a space inviting acceptance and empathy for the existential quality of our digital existence.
