#BODY#morph by Dooeun Choi

« My collection is drawn from the list of artists whom I have been worked with and then hashtagged with #BODY and #morph to connect the artists’ selected works. It focuses on creating alternative imaginaries for #BODY and #morph where they are uncannily explored by blurring the boundaries between real and virtual, material and immaterial, and visible and invisible through various forms of media arts including digital prints, animations, generative arts, kinetic sculptures, augmented reality art, robotic arts and bio arts. It also brings in a diverse group of artists from various cultural backgrounds that range from the first generation of media artists to new practices of the millennial generation to reassess our physical body and sensory perception to liberate ourselves into imagination. By bringing these artists together the collection rethinks the world we live in, questions our most fundamental assumptions about body and morph, and imagines the possibility of different values in the age of augmented life. » Dooeun Choi

The #BODY#morph collection counts already 65 artworks from 8 recognized international artists: Claudia Hart (USA), Exonemo (Japan), José Carlos Casado (Spain/USA), Kim Joon (Korea), Minha Yang (Korea), Sachiko Kodama (Japan), Tal Danino (USA), Teamvoid (Korea), Ujoo+Limheeyoung (Korea).

ALEX DARBY

DIFFICULT OBJECTS

Alexandra Darby presents for ArtJaws “Difficult Objects”, a curated show featuring the artist Andrea Wolf with works that don’t align with the art historical status quo, and embody the numerous complexities of difficult objects.

ANNE ROQUIGNY

PHYSICALITY OF THE INTERNET

This selection of works is focused on the work of Sophie Deltombe, an artist whose practice questions the internet, its aesthetics, language and codes. By appropriating the vocabulary, mechanisms and modus operandi of the Internet culture, she discloses her daily relationship with connected objects.

HEMISPHERES

For Emmanuel Cuisinier “Hemispheres” evokes as much the idea of metaphysical spaces where we can exist and dream as geographic and biological territories. North/south, left/right, emotional/rational, real/virtual — the notion of hemisphere calls to mind duality, binarity, conflict but also transition.

COSMOS OF MUTUAL EXCHANGES

For me, an exhibition is not a final goal but a platform where each player enriches their sensory knowledge and collectively participates in opening up new ways of perceiving and acting in society, faced with our accelerated world. These are the mutual cosmic exchanges that give artworks their “value” and can help us to rethink our politics of recombinatory commons.

WYSI NOT WYG

Digital artists are deviators who insert a layer of indetermination between reality and its representation. The artists I selected for this online curatorship practice this alchemy and formulate some variations in the continuum of our lives, between birth, social life, war, play, religion, death and transfiguration.

CONSTANCE MEFFRE

ARCHIVE OF A STRIKE

Paul Destieu's practice includes the creation of videos, installations and sound works. Destieu questions the evolution of the media and their situations in our current environment. The project entitled ``Archive of a Strike`` is focused on the materialization of sound and musical forms.

ARTT - ART TO TABLET

Contemporary art lovers cannot ignore new media art and its capacity for original collections and demonstrations. From video to Net art, interactive installations and animated GIFs, digital art is being exhibited on a new screen: the tablet. From Agam to Hockney, big names of the art world are using these nomadic screens as an organic and living canvas to share the adventure of their collector.

VARIATION - ARTJAWS MEDIA ART FAIR

Throughout the world, a few media art fairs are popping up here and there, while Variation continues to pursue its mission. Now in its third year, this singular Parisian salon and expo comes to the Cité Internationale des Arts. The importance of this venue becomes apparent when we consider the blank walls of its gallery situated in the Marais.

KLIO KRAJEWSKA

RISING CLASSICS

The artworks in Klio Krajewska's collection represent various trends in media arts: installations, kinetic sculptures, digital images. Each one, in its own field, represents the culmination of contemporary esthetics, without overplaying the technology required to realize it.
