Artist Ayoung Kim presents the US debut of her Delivery Dancer trilogy, renowned video installations presented for the first time together, alongside the premiere of new work. Recognized as an artist on the vanguard of digital innovation, Kim uses generative AI, videogame engines, and live-action footage to create narratives that collide geopolitics, synthesize mythologies, and interrogate technologies. Her works follow female delivery drivers En Storm and Ernst Mo (whose names are anagrams of “monster”). Featuring live-action footage from actors in real locations, the works—which Kim describes as “pandemic fiction”—center labor within the gig economy, which skyrocketed in both Korea and the US during recent years. The exhibition examines the evolving relationships between data, human beings, and the environment, challenging capitalist pressures to meet increasing global demands through self-optimization.
