About

A solo show by Tian Xiaolei is the first in a series of four exhibitions called Foreign Bodies: Human Identity in a Posthuman World looking at how a new era of increasingly networked tools shape human existence and identity. Tian Xiaolei constructs a world where actual bodies have become virtualized and human encounters are re-cast in the language of anonymity and gaming. To that end, exhibition-goers don VR headsets to navigate their way around three distinctly surreal realms. Also on show is the artist's psychedelic computer-generated screen-based work, An Unfinished Poem. Recommended.
