21st Century Wanderer
@ Chicago Art Department
1926 S Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60608
On view through Friday, December 27th
21st Century Wanderer invites 16 media artists from France, Germany and China, with Chicago-based artists to present diverse media-based works that explore the dynamic relationship between walking, technology, and society. Their work reveals that walking is presented both as a tool for shaping the current society and as a reflective practice that mirrors contemporary life.
The exhibition features diverse mediums including custom-made devices, interactive websites, video installations, experimental video games, interactive game installation, kinetic work, and performance. These artistic approaches challenge the conventional experience of walking, pushing the boundaries of how we experience walking in the modern world. Through these technological collaborations, the works encourage a reimagination of our urban spaces and social interactions, prompting reflections on how technology reshapes everyday life.
Work by: Che Pai & Ian Kang, Gordon Fung, Juan Eduardo Flores, Jungsoo Kim, Mac Pierce, Nimrod Astarhan, Rhett Tsa, Vincent Tanguy, Xin Chen, Yalin Zhao, Yimei Zhu, Yiyi Liu & Mengjun Duan, Yukyeom Kim, Yuwen Huang
