Mixed Media Exhibition by Kenny Wong 6.8. - 3.9.2022 Goethe-Gallery and Black Box Studio Social media has brought tremendous changes to intrapersonal, interpersonal, group and mass communication. As millennials, we witnessed the changes in communication patterns, as we were born in the analogue world, and grew up in the digital era of living a virtual life rather than a virtuous life. We vainly, and inevitably, hope to replace the in-person contacts with virtual communications. Though, after being in a pandemic for almost 2 years, we have to admit that tactile communication is indispensable. Humans are by nature social animals after all. Kenny Wong wants to point out this comprehension by creating an exhibition that requires the audience to participate both online and offline. The experience will only be partial if otherwise. Audience will download a desktop game application from a webpage and attend the exhibition through the game. The game will be developed by the Unreal Engine to build a 3D space 1:1 to actual exhibition space. Recreation Room D is part of The Missing Link project, curated by GayBird and Vanissa Law, produced by Machine and Art NOW Ltd.
