Opening tomorrow!
Please join us for the opening reception of “My Mother is Data”, an immersive installation by Ahreum Lee, that utilizes moving images, 3D animation, live-streamed text, and an interactive web interface to explore human relationships. The artist will be in attendance for our 7-9pm reception 🦋💗
As an interdisciplinary media artist, musician, game maker, and educator, Ahreum Lee navigates the complexities of technology, data, and socio-political narratives. Fascinated by the ritualistic use of everyday technologies, she explores their impact on socio-political dynamics and interactions with human and more-than-human entities. Her work spans games, 3D animation, web art, sound, and performance.
Originally from Seoul, South Korea, Ahreum is currently based in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. She was a finalist for the Emerging Digital Artist Award by EQ Bank and Trinity Square Video (2019), and has participated in residencies at the Banff Art and Creativity Centre, Eastern Bloc, and Musée des beaux-arts à Montréal.

Image 1: A large room is filled with bright pink light. The walls and floor are completely pink. Artificial trees and rock-like shapes line the back wall. Several layered heart-shaped sculptures are mounted on the wall and display moving video images. In the center of the room is a low sculptural platform shaped like a stone, with a screen on top showing moving blue water. On the floor in the foreground, a smartphone sits beneath a clear glass sphere. Projectors are visible on the ceiling.
