Emily Kraus’s solo exhibition at Frieze presents a series of glitchy, digitally inspired paintings that disrupt traditional notions of aesthetic authority. The works employ pixelated distortions and vibrant color fields to question the boundaries between digital error and artistic intention, drawing attention to the role of technology in contemporary art-making.
Artist Peiqi Su created "The Penis Wall" (2014), an interactive installation featuring 81 3D-printed penises with tiny motors that adjust their flaccidity or erectness to six levels. The penises respond to stimuli such as viewer movement or stock market fluctuations. The work was developed over a semester as a thesis project for New York University's ITP program within the Tisch School of the Arts, and was briefly displayed on May 19–20 as part of the program's spring exhibition.
UNESCO hosted a seminar and exhibition titled 'Digital Meets Creativity' on September 12, 2016, at its headquarters in Paris, featuring Korean media artists Han Ho and Byeong Sam Jeon. The exhibition, 'Technology in Contemporary Art,' showcased works that blend digital technologies with artistic practice, including Han Ho's holographic and LED installations and Jeon's interactive video and kinetic pieces. The event was part of 'KOREA-UNESCO week' and included remarks from UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova, Korean Ambassador Byong Hyun Lee, and Assistant Director General Francesco Bandarin.
