The Goethe-Institut on Sathon Road is holding “Re:complex”, an exhibition that reflects on the creative residue from a shared process among eight artists, from today until next Thursday.
The eight-day show captures ideas, systems and signals the artists encountered during a Code-based Digital Art workshop led by Kim Asendorf, which was organised along with his first retrospective “Complex” in March this year. They are then refracted, reinterpreted and transformed into new artistic practices shaped by collaboration, code and conversation.
The artists explored a wide spectrum of concepts and approaches. Their works reflect diverse engagements with code, systems and media technologies, ranging from traditional music and classical dance reinterpreted as looping digital memory to simulations of artificial life that question pain, ethics and the future of human existence.
Low-resolution light fields reflect presence through abstraction. Ocean waves are translated into emotional data using computer vision. Simple bodily movements generate rippling digital ecosystems. Bangkok traffic becomes a tool for syncing narrative with movement, and memory is reprogrammed to navigate the layered emotions of diasporic longing.
The eight participating artists are Natthakit Kangsadansenanon, Nivedita Johri, Patt Vira, Rogerger Ng, Theerawat Klangjareonchai, Wasawat Somno, Wuttin Chansataboot and Lamtharn Hantrakul, aka Yaboihanoi.
The exhibition is open for weekday viewing daily from noon to 8pm and noon to 10pm from Friday to Sunday.
