Anicka Yi’s work dissolves boundaries between biology and technology, proposing new ways of thinking about perception, sentience, and survival. Her practice blends scientific research with philosophical inquiry and sensory experience, drawing from microbiology, artificial intelligence, perfumery, and Buddhist thought. Yi constructs immersive worlds that reimagine how life - and art - might evolve, mutate, and persist.
From animatronic sculptures that breathe and flicker like prehistoric lifeforms, to software designed to carry on her practice after death, Yi approaches technology as a creative partner. Anchoring this presentation are two complementary installations that address the concept of “Karmic Debt.”
The exhibition will remain on display through September 7.
