    BODY MACHINE (Meridians) Print Claim, 2024
    The collection GENESIS II: BODY MACHINE (MERIDIANS) by Sougwen Chung is a series of biomimetic robotic speculations sculpted in air. These works are created using custom training models and spatial technologies, where gestural lines are suspended and scale is a permeable medium. The artist captures these lines using gestural VR and motion capture, which are then reimagined as 'Machine Meridians.' This Meridian data represents the body as a generative system.

    BODY MACHINE (MERIDIANS) includes a collection of 168 unique generative artworks, each accompanied by movement data and a matching signed Giclee 60x60cm print.

Biography

 

 

Sougwen 愫君 Chung is a Chinese-Canadian artist and researcher, widely considered a pioneer in human-machine collaboration – exploring the mark-made-by-hand and the mark-made-by-machine as an approach to understanding the dynamics of humans and systems. Sougwen’s work MEMORY is part of the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, and is the first AI model to be collected by a major institution. Recently, Chung was recognized as a Cultural Leader at the World Economic Forum, one of four recipients of the TIME100 Impact award, and named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People in AI.

 

Chung has exhibited internationally at the Espoo Museum of Modern Art, Espoo; Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver; Art Basel, Miami; National Art Center, Tokyo; NTT InterCommunication Center [ICC], Tokyo; ArtScience Museum, Singapore; MIT Media Lab, Cambridge; The Drawing Center, New York; The New Museum, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Geneva; Haus der Kunst, Munich; Mana Contemporary, New York; M+ Museum, Hong Kong; Boston Art Center, Boston; Tribeca Film Festival, New York; Francisco Carolinum, Linz; Singapore International Festival of Arts; Pearl Art Museum, Shanghai; and the V&A Museum, London.
