MESSAGE FROM ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
Having first met Paul Gong at Taiwan in 2017, I was intrigued by his
research interest as a speculative designer. He was researching into
the biodiversity of human from the perspective of axillary hair, its
comparison to a rainforest, the symbiotic relationship to that of
a sloth’s fur and the social issues associated with contemporary
societies.
From that afternoon’s chat, I recognised Paul’s hypothetical
approach – of designing innovative hybrid between human and
technology – as something that could trigger an exciting work with
RAW Moves…
After a 2 year wait, I am delighted to present Being, and Organs
(Singapore chapter) – a visceral inquiry into transhumanism by Paul
Gong.
On this Research and Development Platform, audience will
experience a different relationship between humans and their
bodies. They are invited to discover new psychodynamics as we
calibrate various belief systems when moving into our unknown
future.
Enjoy and discover the transformation of the Being, in relation to
the Organ.
