This is Becoming Other, the first North American solo exhibition by multimedia artist Yiou Wang, now on view at THE BLANC in New York.

New Media Installation: TECHNE at BAM
On Friday, I was invited to experience one of the four digital installations curated by Onassis ONX for TECHNE at BAM, called The Golden Key, which immerses visitors in a mythical, AI-generated world that’s as thought-provoking as it is engaging. A winner of the Jury Award in the 2024 SXSW XR Experience competition, The Golden Key is a standout example of how AI can be harnessed to explore narrative, mythology, and human connection.

BAM: Mercedes, Part 1
Mental health, caregiving, and cultural legacy converge in Mercedes, Part 1, a powerful multidisciplinary installation by Modesto Flako Jimenez. Running from December 3–8, 2024, at BAM’s Fishman Space, this deeply personal project honors Jimenez’s grandmother, Mercedes, while addressing the larger societal issues of mental health stigma, caregiver rights, and community support within the Latin diaspora.
