The Goethe-Institut Hosts “Re:complex” Exhibition
The Goethe-Institut on Sathon Road is currently hosting an exhibition titled “Re:complex,” which explores the creative residue from a shared process among eight artists. This exhibition will run from today until next Thursday, offering visitors a unique insight into the collaborative journey of these artists.
The eight-day show captures ideas, systems, and signals that the artists encountered during a Code-based Digital Art workshop led by Kim Asendorf. This workshop was organized in conjunction with his first retrospective, “Complex,” held in March this year. The works presented in the exhibition are a result of the artists reinterpreting and transforming their experiences, shaping new artistic practices through collaboration, code, and conversation.
Diverse Concepts and Approaches
The artists involved in the exhibition explored a wide spectrum of concepts and approaches. Their works reflect diverse engagements with code, systems, and media technologies. These include traditional music and classical dance reinterpreted as looping digital memory, as well as simulations of artificial life that question pain, ethics, and the future of human existence.
Each artist brings a unique perspective to the exhibition, showcasing how technology can be used to explore complex themes. For example, low-resolution light fields reflect presence through abstraction. Ocean waves are translated into emotional data using computer vision. Simple bodily movements generate rippling digital ecosystems. Bangkok traffic becomes a tool for syncing narrative with movement, and memory is reprogrammed to navigate the layered emotions of diasporic longing.
Participating Artists
The eight participating artists are:
- Natthakit Kangsadansenanon
- Nivedita Johri
- Patt Vira
- Rogerger Ng
- Theerawat Klangjareonchai
- Wasawat Somno
- Wuttin Chansataboot
- Lamtharn Hantrakul, also known as Yaboihanoi
These artists have contributed a variety of works that challenge conventional boundaries between art, technology, and human experience.
Exhibition Schedule
The exhibition is open for weekday viewing daily from noon to 8pm. From Friday to Sunday, the exhibition will be open from noon to 10pm, allowing more people to experience the works at their leisure.
