EMULATOR: ORGONOMIC EFFIGY is a sculpture measuring 49.5cm * 49.5cm * 30cm, a figurative study of the main character from the EMULATOR film. Created using 3D printed aluminum with an automotive paint finish, it emphasizes the unique aspects of the Emulator's "cognitive camouflage."
The work explores the space between real and virtual by incorporating features often seen as flaws in AI-generated images - such as extra limbs, hands, and faces. By adopting these characteristics, the figure transforms into an ambiguous state, blurring the lines between physical and digital existence.
This piece invites viewers to consider the evolving relationship between tangible and virtual realities in our increasingly digitized world. Presented at Frieze Seoul 2024, with Yeo Workshop. Photography by Jonathan Tan.
