The lovely texts for the Metaverse exhibition Sheng 生 are done by Natasha Chuk , art and media scholar and writer. You can also read the full article in the exhibition’s press release: https://bit.ly/3ZWz5YQ

"In Snow Yunxue Fu’s Conjoin (Chapter 3) (2018), an animation of abstract, fluid bodies move in a meditative, perpetual motion. The circular rhythm and disintegration of forms signal the aqueous, shifting, vertiginous but intimate and interdependent relationship between our corporeal and digital existence, as well as our physical and virtual connection to others. It’s a looping, ruminative moment in this group exhibition, which underscores the show’s overarching theme. Sheng 生, the Chinese character for life, living, birth, and lives, is a group exhibition curated by new media artist Snow Yunxue Fu and her digital human Daughter ICE. It features seventeen participating artists whose work probes and reimagines experiences of familial relations, legacies, memory, bodies, and existence across physical, biological, digital, and spiritual domains. The show is set in a metaverse exhibition space modeled on the physical, NYU-adjacent Washington Square Park called VR WSPark, which was created by Fu and is co-hosted by DSLCollection ..."
