In this exhibition, the gallery space was partitioned by a series of wooden modules, each of which contained the works of a different artist.
These structures epitomise the project’s concept, allowing an interweaving of the artist’s intentions (inherent in their work) and an unexpected element arising from the manipulated setting.
The robot 'Yokai,' created by Lens, is shown in the centre of this photograph, sitting among the other artwork. Yokai was programmed to automatically inflate and release a black balloon filled with helium every 20 minutes.
