Description

Artist: UGLYKIKI UGLYKIKI is a multimedia artist who transcends reality through imaginary and metaphysical artworks. With a keen focus on exploring the concept of human existence and the relationships between nature and technology, her art delves deep into the realm of the metaverses. Through a range of multimedia practices including drawing, video art and XR, UGLYKIKI has skillfully explored the transformation of cultural symbols and their manifestation in diverse dimensions such as physical realities, cyberspaces, and psychological states. The artist's drawings are particularly noteworthy for their ability to convey intangible experiences and relationships that extend beyond the physical world. UGLYKIKI's use of energetic and flowing lines serves to draw viewers into a secret inner temple, where they can immerse themselves in a magical universe. UGLYKIKI's artworks have been showcased at international exhibitions, including the "Art in Flux: Radical Embodiment" exhibit at the Barbican Center in London, the "Octobre Numerique-Faire Monde Art Festival" in France, and the "Kaohsiung Young Art" show at the Pier 2 Art Center in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. You’re all over the place. You seem scattered. The self-care note is a dual-purpose tool and a series of short videos that function as both a love letter and a reminder for those, like myself, who often lose themselves in the illusion of physical embodiment. By observing the human form contort in unpredictable ways, we break free from the limitations of physical reality and shift our perceptions to accept bodily vulnerability that makes us become us. This whimsical and conceptual showcase of distortion, rewiring postures, and the fluid meaning of stability and adaptability encourages viewers to embrace the beauty in imperfection and navigate the impermanence of life with ease.
