Anicka Yi (b. 1971, Seoul) draws on scientific inquiry to explore human existence, the symbiotic relationships between living and non-living forms, and the inherently mutable nature of the universe and its systems. Working across installation, sculpture, painting, and immersive environments, Yi invites viewers to consider the porous boundaries between art and biology, human and non-human intelligence, and natural and constructed worlds. Yi addresses human anxieties surrounding impermanence, the passage of time, and cultural mythologies through a wide range of disciplines including microbiology, synthetic biology, and artificial intelligence research.
