Yi, Anicka

Entry updated 9 May 2025. Tagged: Artist.

(1971-    ) South Korean artist, based in New York, known for innovative work with biologists, parfumiers and chefs to create installations that engage smell and taste as well as sight. In Love with the World (2021) uses AI to create amoeba-like dirigibles called "aerobes" (see Airships), which float around the gallery space according to rules dictated by the AI. Yi's stated intent with this work was to engage spectators with a future in which biomorphic Machinery lives alongside humans, but with aims and behaviour patterns which we do not control. [CWa]
